Abstract

Multiple sclerosis is a T cell-mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Interleukin-17-producing T helper cells, named Th17 cells, represent a novel CD4+ T cell effector subset involved in the response against extracellular pathogens. In addition, Th17 cells are pathogenic in several animal models of autoimmune disease, including the animal model for multiple sclerosis, but their function in multiple sclerosis remains to be elucidated. In this study, we analysed the frequency and the phenotype of Th17 cells in the cerebrospinal fluid and peripheral blood of multiple sclerosis patients. We show that the frequency of Th17 cells is significantly higher in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis during relapse, in comparison to relapsing-remitting patients in remission or to patients with other non-inflammatory neurological diseases. Similarly, in patients with clinically isolated syndrome during their first neurological episode, Th17 cells are more abundant than in clinically isolated syndrome patients with no acute symptoms. Patients with inflammatory neurological diseases other than multiple sclerosis also showed increased frequency of Th17 cells compared to patients w...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.

CSF & Lymphatic System

This feed focuses on Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) and the lymphatic system. Discover the latest papers using imaging techniques to track CSF outflow into the lymphatic system in animal models.

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.
