Sildenafil (Viagra) Protective Effects on Neuroinflammation: The Role of iNOS/NO System in an Inflammatory Demyelination Model

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2013
We recently demonstrated that sildenafil reduces the expression of cytokines, COX-2, and GFAP in a demyelinating model induced in wild-type (WT) mice.

P2x7 receptors control demyelination and inflammation in the cuprizone model

open access: yesBrain, Behavior, & Immunity - Health, 2020
The contribution of P2x7 receptors to multiple sclerosis remains controversial, as both detrimental and beneficial effects resulting from P2x7 receptor loss-of-function have been reported in autoimmune models of the disease.

Galanin is an autocrine myelin and oligodendrocyte trophic signal induced by leukemia inhibitory factor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In order to further investigate the molecular mechanisms that regulate oligodendrocyte (OC) survival, we utilized microarrays to characterize changes in OC gene expression after exposure to the cytokines neurotrophin3, insulin, or leukemia inhibitory ...

Effects of green tea epigallocatechin-3-gallate on the proteolipid protein and oligodendrocyte transcription factor 1 messenger RNA gene expression in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis

open access: yesFolia Neuropathologica, 2017
The cuprizone multiple sclerosis (MS) animal model is characteristic for toxic demyelination and represents a reversible demyelination and remyelination system.

Modeling multiple sclerosis in laboratory animals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system is one of the most frequent causes of neurological disability in young adults. While in situ analysis and in vitro models do shed some light onto the processes of tissue damage and cellular

Demyelination and axonal preservation in a transgenic mouse model of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
It is widely thought that demyelination contributes to the degeneration of axons and, in combination with acute inflammatory injury, is responsible for progressive axonal loss and persistent clinical disability in inflammatory demyelinating disease.

Deletion of astroglial CXCL10 delays clinical onset but does not affect progressive axon loss in a murine autoimmune multiple sclerosis model. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by central nervous system (CNS) inflammation, demyelination, and axonal degeneration. CXCL10 (IP-10), a chemokine for CXCR3+ T cells, is known to regulate T cell differentiation and migration in the periphery, but

Venlafaxine Improves the Cognitive Impairment and Depression-Like Behaviors in a Cuprizone Mouse Model by Alleviating Demyelination and Neuroinflammation in the Brain

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
Growing evidence has implicated that myelin deficits and neuroinflammation are the coexisted pathological features that contribute to the mood swing and cognitive decline in major depressive disorder (MDD) and multiple sclerosis (MS).

Protective effects of cannabidiol on cuprizone-induced demyelination in C57BL/6 mice

open access: yesJournal of Contemporary Medical Sciences, 2017
Objective Experimental and clinical studies suggest that oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. In this study, we have investigated the effects of the non-psychoactive cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD), which ...

Therapeutic laquinimod treatment decreases inflammation, initiates axon remyelination, and improves motor deficit in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BackgroundTherapeutic strategies that induce effective neuroprotection and enhance intrinsic repair mechanisms are central goals for future treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), as well as other diseases.
