摘要
T helper 17 (Th17) cells are pivotal in the immune pathogenesis of EAE. Glatiramer acetate (GA) can enhance T-reg FOXp3 expression. We demonstrate that CA downregulates the expression of both IL-17 and IL-6 in two different EAE models. Increased mRNA expression in CNS for ROR gamma t, IL-17, IL-12/ IL-23, IL-6, TNF-alpha, STAT4 and Th1 cytokines were significantly reduced by CA with a concomitant rise in SMAD3. The increased expression of TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-17 in CNS of CD25(+) depleted animals was suppressed by CA treatment. This study demonstrates that both Th1 polarization and Th17 expression are modulated by GA. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
