Quantification of myelin and axon pathology during relapsing progressive experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in the Biozzi ABH mouse.
Multiple sclerosis is an immune-mediated demyelinating disease, with axonal loss underlying long-term progressive disability. In this study, we have analyzed axonal and myelin pathology in a chronic relapsing-remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis model in Biozzi ABH mice induced by immunization with a syngeneic spinal cord homogenate. The animals were followed for3 months; inflamm...
متن کاملLimiting multiple sclerosis related axonopathy by blocking Nogo receptor and CRMP-2 phosphorylation.
Multiple sclerosis involves demyelination and axonal degeneration of the central nervous system. The molecular mechanisms of axonal degeneration are relatively unexplored in both multiple sclerosis and its mouse model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. We previously reported that targeting the axonal growth inhibitor, Nogo-A, may protect against neurodegeneration in experimental autoim...
متن کاملCompromised axon initial segment integrity in EAE is preceded by microglial reactivity and contact.
Axonal pathology is a key contributor to long-term disability in multiple sclerosis (MS), an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), but the mechanisms that underlie axonal pathology in MS remain elusive. Evidence suggests that axonal pathology is a direct consequence of demyelination, as we and others have shown that the node of Ranvier disassembles following lo...
متن کاملIFN-γ Signaling to Astrocytes Protects from Autoimmune Mediated Neurological Disability
Demyelination and axonal degeneration are determinants of progressive neurological disability in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Cells resident within the central nervous system (CNS) are active participants in development, progression and subsequent control of autoimmune disease; however, their individual contributions are not well understood. Astrocytes, the most abundant CNS cell type...
متن کاملThe membrane attack complex of complement causes severe demyelination associated with acute axonal injury.
Complement is implicated in pathology in the human demyelinating disease multiple sclerosis and in animal models that mimic the demyelination seen in multiple sclerosis. However, the components of the complement system responsible for demyelination in vivo remain unidentified. In this study, we show that C6-deficient (C6-) PVG/c rats, unable to form the membrane attack complex (MAC), exhibit no...
