OBJECTIVE Multiple sclerosis (MS) causes significant neurological disability. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model of MS. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) possess anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. We studied whether hMSCs affect CD1d(high)CD5(+) regulatory B-cell activity in EAE. METHODS EAE was induced in C57BL/6N mice by immunization with MOG35-55 peptide. hMSCs were injected intravenously into EAE mice on day 3 and day 12 after first immunization. Mice were sacrificed on day 26. Immunohistochemistry of the spinal cord, serum cytokines levels, production of cytokines by cultured splenic cells, and flow cytometry for splenic Th17 and CD1d(high)CD5(+) regulatory B cells were studied. RESULTS EAE mice with hMSC treatment on day 3 and day 12 had reduced EAE scores from day 14 to day 26 compared to EAE mice without hMSC treatment, and reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells and demyelination in the spinal cord. EAE mice with hMSC treatment on day 3 and day 12 had: (1) lower serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α (p < 0.0005), and IL-17 (p < 0.005 for day 3, p < 0.0005 for day 12); (2) reduced splenic cell production and secretion of IL-6, TNF-α (p < 0.05), and IL-17 (p < 0.05), and increased splenic production of IL-10; (3) reduced splenic Th17 cells (p < 0.05 for day 3, p < 0.005 for day 12), and (4) increased CD1d(high)CD5(+) regulatory B cells (p < 0.005) compared to EAE mice without hMSC treatment. CONCLUSIONS hMSC treatment on day 3 and day 12 suppresses EAE severity. The underlying mechanisms involve downregulation of Th17 cells and upregulation of CD1d(high)CD5(+) regulatory B-cell activity.

D004681 Encephalomyelitis, Autoimmune, Experimental An experimental animal model for central nervous system demyelinating disease. Inoculation with a white matter emulsion combined with FREUND'S ADJUVANT, myelin basic protein, or purified central myelin triggers a T cell-mediated immune response directed towards central myelin. The pathologic features are similar to MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, including perivascular and periventricular foci of inflammation and demyelination. Subpial demyelination underlying meningeal infiltrations also occurs, which is also a feature of ENCEPHALOMYELITIS, ACUTE DISSEMINATED. Passive immunization with T-cells from an afflicted animal to a normal animal also induces this condition.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
