PEG Minocycline-Liposomes Ameliorate CNS Autoimmune Disease
BACKGROUND Minocycline is an oral tetracycline derivative with good bioavailability in the central nervous system (CNS). Minocycline, a potent inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, attenuates disease activity in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS). Potential adverse effects associated with long-term daily minocycline therapy in hu...
متن کاملSex bias in CNS autoimmune disease mediated by androgen control of autoimmune regulator
Male gender is protective against multiple sclerosis and other T-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. This protection may be due, in part, to higher androgen levels in males. Androgen binds to the androgen receptor (AR) to regulate gene expression, but how androgen protects against autoimmunity is not well understood. Autoimmune regulator (Aire) prevents autoimmunity by promoting self-antigen exp...
متن کاملClinical significance of changes in the Th17/Treg ratio in autoimmune liver disease
AIM To investigate the levels, ratios, and clinical significance of T helper 17 (Th17) cells and regulatory T (Treg) cells in the peripheral blood of patients with autoimmune liver disease (AILD). METHODS Forty-two AILD patients were included in the experimental group (group E), and 11 healthy subjects were recruited as the control group (group C). Flow cytometry was performed to determine th...
متن کاملPathological CNS autoimmune disease triggered by traumatic spinal cord injury: implications for autoimmune vaccine therapy.
Lymphocytes respond to myelin proteins after spinal cord injury (SCI) and may contribute to post-traumatic secondary degeneration. However, there is increasing evidence that autoreactive T-lymphocytes may also convey neuroprotection and promote functional recovery after CNS injury. To clarify the role of myelin autoreactive lymphocytes after SCI, we performed contusion injuries in the thoracic ...
متن کاملNeurodegeneration and -protection in autoimmune CNS inflammation.
Neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS) is the structural correlate of permanent neurological disability in patients. The histopathological features of neurodegeneration include destruction of axons as well as apoptotic cell death of neuronal cell bodies. Therapeutic efforts to control these clinically important aspects of MS pathology showed limited success so far. In this review article,...
