Cuprizone does not induce CNS demyelination in nonhuman primates
Cognitive decline is a common symptom in multiple sclerosis patients, with profound effects on the quality of life. A nonhuman primate model of multiple sclerosis would be best suited to test the effects of demyelination on complex cognitive functions such as learning and reasoning. Cuprizone has been shown to reliably induce brain demyelination in mice. To establish a nonhuman primate model of...
متن کاملGAS6 Enhances Repair Following Cuprizone-Induced Demyelination
Growth arrest-specific protein 6 (gas6) activities are mediated through the Tyro3, Axl, and Mer family of receptor tyrosine kinases. Gas6 is expressed and secreted by a wide variety of cell types, including cells of the central nervous system (CNS). In this study, we tested the hypothesis that administration of recombinant human Gas6 (rhGas6) protein into the CNS improves recovery following cup...
متن کاملProperty in nonhuman primates.
Property is rare in most nonhuman primates, most likely because their lifestyles are not conducive to it. Nonetheless, just because these species do not frequently maintain property does not mean that they lack the propensity to do so. Primates show respect for possession, as well as behaviors related to property, such as irrational decision making regarding property (e.g., the endowment effect...
متن کاملRegression in Nonhuman Primates
RESULTS of Anitschkow's early experiments (1927) suggesting that arterial lesions induced in rabbits by high cholesterol diets decrease in size and in fat content after cessation of cholesterol feeding have been confirmed in numerous species of animals, including rabbits, chickens, dogs, pigeons, pigs, and nonhuman primates (see references in Malinow, in press). This review deals with the studi...
متن کاملFingolimod does not enhance cerebellar remyelination in the cuprizone model
Fingolimod (FTY720) is approved for treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. In vitro studies have found that fingolimod stimulates remyelination in cerebellar slices, but in vivo animal studies have not detected any positive effect on cerebral remyelination. The discrepant findings could be a result of different mechanisms underlying cerebral and cerebellar remyelination. The cupri...
