Abstract

Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an autoimmune disease mediated by myelin protein-specific CD4+ T lymphocytes of the T(h)1-like phenotype. In rats, the disease is characterized by a monophasic clinical manifestation, followed by a subsequent spontaneous remission and the establishment of life-long resistance to reinduction of disease. Recent data indicate that intracerebral cytokine production, in particular synthesis of interleukin(IL)-10, is selectively up-regulated during the recovery phase of disease. This led us to assess the effects of IL-10 on different rat lymphoid cell functions in vitro and to consider the possibility of an IL-10-mediated treatment to prevent the induction of central nervous system (CNS) autoimmune disease in vivo. Human recombinant IL-10 suppressed interferon-gamma induced major histocompatibility complex class II up-regulation in rat peritoneal macrophages, exhibited pleiotropic effects on thymocytes and totally abrogated tumor necrosis factor production of encephalitogenic T lymphocytes in vitro, without simultaneously affecting proliferative responses of the cells. Upon systemic administration during the initiation phase of disease, IL-10 was effective in markedly suppressing the s...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
