Gene expression signature of Lewis rats with experimental NMO and controls

Project description:study was performed to reveal the extent to which NMO-IgG contributes to tissue damage in experimental NMO Gene expression was studied in Lewis rats after transfer of myelin basic protein-specific T cells on day 0 and NMO-IgG on day 4. The animals were sacrificed 24 hours later. Controls did either not receive T cells (0), did receive control IgG or PBS instead of NMO-IgG, or were left completely untreated.

Early Involvement of Peripherally Derived Monocytes in Inflammation in an NMO-Like Mouse Model [Monocytes]

Project description:Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that primarily affects the spinal cord and optic nerves in the central nervous system (CNS). It is characterized by the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against aquaporin 4, a protein found in astrocytes (known as NMO-IgG). Monocytes/macrophages and microglia accumulate at the active injury sites and contribute to the disease process. However, it is unclear whether these active cells originate from circulating monocytes/macrophages or resident microglia. Recent studies have investigated the role of microglia/macrophages in multiple sclerosis (MS) using specific microglial markers, such as P2ry12 and Tmem119, and have shown that active cells are derived from microglia. In contrast, the function of monocyte/macrophages and microglia in NMO has not been extensively studied. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the functions of monocytes/macrophages and microglia using microglial markers (P2ry12 and Tmem119) in an NMO-like mouse model and evaluate their role in the pathophysiology of NMO.

hUC-MSCs-derived MFGE8 ameliorates locomotor dysfunction via inhibition of ITGB3/NF-κB signaling in an NMO mouse model

Project description:Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a severe autoimmune inflammatory disease of the central nervous system that affects motor function and causes relapsing disability. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have been used extensively in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases, due to their potent regulatory roles that can mitigate inflammation and repair damaged tissues. However, their use in NMO is currently limited, and the mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of hUC-MSCs on motor function in NMO remains unclear. In this study, we investigate the effects of hUC-MSCs on the recovery of motor function in an NMO systemic model. Our findings demonstrate that milk fat globule epidermal growth 8 (MFGE8), a key functional factor secreted by hUC-MSCs, plays a critical role in ameliorating motor impairments. We also elucidate that the MFGE8/Integrin αvβ3/NF-κB signaling pathway is partially responsible for structural and functional recovery, in addition to motor functional enhancements induced by hUC-MSC exposure. Taken together, these findings strongly support the involvement of MFGE8 in mediating hUC-MSCs-induced improvements in motor functional recovery in an NMO mouse model. In addition, this provides new insight on the therapeutic potential of hUC-MSCs and the mechanisms underlying their beneficial effects in NMO.

Transcriptomes in the Sciatic Nerves of Lewis Rats with Experimental Autoimmune Neuritis

Project description:Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is characterized by acute immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy, which may result in rapidly progressive paralysis and fatal respiratory failure. As the underlying pathological mechanisms of GBS are unclear, we surveyed the transcriptome of rats with experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN), a model of GBS. Briefly, sciatic nerves on both sides were collected from 8–10-week-old Lewis rats during early (10 days post-induction), peak (19 days), and late neuritis (30 days). Total RNA was sequenced to identify differentially expressed genes. Compared to control rats without induced neuritis, 33 genes were differentially expressed in the early phase (14 upregulated and 19 downregulated), with an adjusted P-value < 0.05 and |log2 fold-change| > 1, as were 137 genes in the peak phase (126 upregulated and 11 downregulated) and 60 genes in the late phase (58 upregulated and 2 downregulated). Eleven of these genes were common to all stages, suggesting their crucial roles throughout the disease course. Analysis of protein-protein interactions revealed Fos, Ccl2, Itgax and C3 as node genes at different stages. Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes identified biological processes and pathways that are activated as neuritis progresses. This is the first genome-wide gene expression study of peripheral nerves in experimental autoimmune neuritis model. Dynamic gene expression and significantly altered biological functions were detected in different phases of the disease, increasing our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying EAN and highlighting potential targets for its diagnosis and treatment.
