IVIg therapy in brain inflammation: etiology-dependent differential effects on leucocyte recruitment

Brain : a Journal of Neurology

Abstract

Several studies have reported beneficial effects of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in diseases of the neuroaxis. However, IVIg effects on leucocyte recruitment, a hallmark feature of autoimmunity and acute inflammation, remain largely unexplored. Using intravital microscopy, we studied the effects of IVIg on leucocyte recruitment in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a model of multiple sclerosis. In IVIg-treated mice, a significant decrease in recruitment (rolling and adhesion) was observed prior to and following disease onset, and this was concomitant with improved clinical score. Since much of the recruitment is dependent upon alpha4-integrin (ligand for VCAM-1) we used an in vitro flow chamber system and demonstrated a 60% decrease in alpha4-integrin-dependent leucocyte adhesion to immobilized VCAM-1. Finally, we used leucocytes from multiple sclerosis patients and demonstrated that IVIg treatment decreased recruitment by 60% on human endothelium. However, when we visualized the role of IVIg in a second model of brain inflammation, cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion, IVIg actually promoted the formation of platelet-leucocyte aggregates in post-ischaemic cerebral vessels. In conclusion, we report a new mechanism of ac...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.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
