Lif LIFNano-CD4 activator progressive course of EAE, and a relapsing, remitting disease course C57BL / 6 mice The efficacy and speed of LIFNano-CD4 in partially reversing paralysis starting as early as 4 days was unexpected.A significant dose-dependent effect on rate of recovery from the induced relapse that was dependent on the LIF cargo increased the recovery rate which is a hallmark of neuro-protection.In marked contrast, in those mice receiving LIFNano-CD4, plasma GM-CSF was significantly reduced. LIF switches CD4 cells away from myelin-directed TH17 toward Treg, able to support myelin repair and neuro-protection given that Treg releases endogenous LIF. 35047909 Details
Il23r AAV8 encoding the soluble sequence of IL-23R inhibitor EAE N/A Animals treated with AAV8/sIL23R showed a significant clinical improvement compared to mice treated with the null vector.This improvement was maintained stably until the end of the experiment. Subsequent immunological analysis in sIL23R treated animals showed a significant decrease in Interferon gamma (IFNγ) levels accompanied by an increase in the production of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor. During MS neuropathology, antigen stimulated dendritic cells begin to secrete lymphocyte activator signals such as IL-23.IL-23, an interleukin member of the IL-12 family interacts with its membrane receptor to activate JAK kinases (JAK2 and TYK2) and then signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3 and STAT4, whose action together with retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma t (RORγt) transcription factor leads to the differentiation and activation of the Th17 pathway. Therefore, IL-23, as a molecule involved in the stabilization and amplification of the Th17 phenotype and induction of the inflammatory response, is considered an interesting therapeutic target to treat MS. 29171419 Details
S1PR1 Fingolimod activator MS Portugal No significant differences for other lipids and lipid ratios were found in patient’s post-treatment compared with pre-treatment levels.Regarding apolipoproteins, a significant increase in ApoE was found at 12 months of treatment.At 6 months, patients had higher PPARγ mRNA expression in comparison to the baseline.Higher CD36 gene expression was also observed at 6 months in comparison to baseline . Fingolimod was the first oral disease-modifying treatment (DMT) approved in MS. Fingolimod is a synthetic sphingosine analogue which once phosphorylated to sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) binds to several S1P receptors (S1PR).By inducing internalization and degradation of S1PR1, phospho-FTY720 impairs this egress, resulting in a significant reduction of circulating T and B cells and infiltration in the CNS.Within circulation, S1P is mainly present in high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), and mediates the regulatory properties of this lipoprotein in immune responses.PPARs are ligand-activated transcriptional factors involved in the regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism and adaptive and innate immunity.PPAR can regulate gene expression also by interfering with other transcriptional factors and other proteins implicated in human disease. Cluster of Differentiation 36 (CD36) is a membrane receptor upregulated by PPARγ expressed in many cells that modulates immune functions and implicated in reparative mechanisms of MS lesions. 36590913 Details
MBTPS1 Fingolimod inhibitor MS N/A In this study, fingolimod significantly reduced the mean ARR in 47.2 and 88.6% at 1 and 2 years, respectively, and the percentage of relapse-free patients was ~75% at the end of the study without differences between the subgroups.In lymphocyte populations, no significant differences between HC and patients were observed before treatment, except for the percentage of LB1 cells composed mostly of CD11b+ cells, which was smaller in patients.We could verify that fingolimod affected practically all lymphocyte populations and subpopulations of B, T, and NK cells.As expected, a reduction of the percentages of CD3+, CD4+, CD20+, CD19+, TCM and TN, memory B (switched and no-switched), regulatory B, NK bright, and cytokine-producing cells (IFN, IL-17, and IL-2) was observed after treatment, with a relative increase in effector memory T (TEM), terminally differentiated effector T (TEMRA), NK, NK dim, NKT, Tregs, nave B, immature B, transitional B, CD5+ B, LB1, and plasmablast cells.Patients who achieved NEDA-3 and NEDA-4 status at 1 year had a significantly higher percentage of NK bright and plasmablast cells and a lower proportion of NK dim and IL-2-producing cells at baseline than NR patients.These patients were significantly more resistant to decreases in percentages of NK bright and LB1 cells and showed a greater decline of CD8 nave T and CD8+ CCR4+ CCR6+ cells than NR patients after 6 months of treatment.Fingolimod exerts powerful transcriptional effects on PBMCs of MS patients.A total of 16,818 filtered probes were used for the differential analyses, resulting in the identification of 3,805 upregulated and 3,741 downregulated genes in response to fingolimod. Such therapies as fingolimod (Gilenya), a functional sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) antagonist, have been developed to retain the autoreactive lymphocytes within the lymph nodes. The phosphorylated form of fingolimod binds to four of five S1P-receptors (S1P1 and S1P3–5), resulting in aberrant internalization and degradation of the receptor on the cell surface and blockade of the egress and recirculation of activated CCR7+ and CD62+ lymphocytes from lymph nodes, such as central memory (TCM) and nave T (TN) cells.In addition, S1P receptors are differentially expressed in several tissues and have significant roles in a variety of cellular responses, including survival, inhibition of apoptosis, cardioprotection, activation of innate and adaptive immune systems, Treg differentiation, and promoting Th1 and Th17 differentiation in vitro and in vivo. 30090102 Details
Il13 IL-13 immune gene therapy (pCHMWS-IL-13-IRES-Pac LV plasmid) activator MS C57BL/6J mice We provide evidence that IL-13 directs the polarization of both brain-resident microglia and infiltrating macrophages towards an alternatively activated phenotype, thereby promoting the conversion of a pro-inflammatory environment toward an anti-inflammatory environment.IL-13 immune gene therapy is also able to limit lesion severity in a pre-existing inflammatory environment. lentiviral vector-mediated expression of the immune-modulating cytokine interleukin 13 (IL-13) induces an alternative activation program in both microglia and macrophages conferring protection against severe oligodendrocyte loss and demyelination in the cuprizone mouse model for multiple sclerosis (MS). 27685637 Details
Csf1r PLX3397 inhibitor PMS C57BL/6 N mice Treatment with PLX3397 reduces the number of microglia and attenuates T-cell recruitment in the CNS of PLPmut mice and ameliorates neural damage in PLPmut mice.This leads to an amelioration of demyelination, axonopathic features and neuron loss in the retinotectal system, also reflected by reduced thinning of the inner retinal composite layer in longitudinal studies using noninvasive optical coherence tomography. PLX3397, a potent inhibitor of the CSF-1R and targeting innate immune cells, attenuates neuroinflammation in our models by reducing numbers of resident microglia and attenuating T-lymphocyte recruitment in the CNS. 30565754 Details
Hdac2 combining valproic acid (VPA) with thyroid hormone (T3/T4) inhibitor EAE Inbred DA/Kini rats Treatment with VPA, T3 and VPA/T3 affects encephalitogenic CD4 + T cells in vitro. Treatment of encephalitogenic CD4 + T cells with VPA, T3, and VPA/T3 prior to transfer into nave rats reduces clinical signs of EAE. Acute treatment with VPA and T4 ameliorates clinical signs of EAE in DA rats. Treatment of EAE with VPA and T4 modulates the immune response,reduces numbers of Th1 cells in the brain and less fraction of Th1 cells infiltrating the brain and modulates the immune response and modulates immune response in peripheral tissues,prevents inflammatory demyelination in the brain. HDAC inhibition can modulate encephalitogenic CD4 + T cells.One of the mechanisms by which treatment with VPA and the T3 precursor might be acting in the brain is by promoting oligodendrocyte lineage progression. Our data indicate that an acute treatment with VPA and T4 after the onset of EAE can produce persistent clinically relevant therapeutic effects by limiting the pathogenic immune reactions while promoting myelin gene expression. 25149263 Details
Ndufa6 complex I subunit gene therapy with NDUFA6(scAAV6-NDUFA2Flag) activator EAE DBA/1J mice Overexpression of NDUFA6Flag rescues the EAE-mediated visual dysfunction , EAE-mediated RGC loss , RNFL thinning , EAE axonal degeneration,RGC apoptosis and rescues EAE-mediated complex I dysfunction.NDUFA6 gene therapy provided long-term suppression of neurodegeneration in the EAE animal model suggesting that it may also ameliorate the mitochondrial dysfunction associated with permanent disability in optic neuritis and MS patients. Mitochondrial dysfunction is recognized as one of the major contributing factors associated with neuronal and axonal loss in MS.It is a major target for damage induced by oxidative stress. Overall, it is believed that mitochondrial NDUFA6 is a crucial member in normal functioning of mitochondrial complex I and any alterations to this subunit adversely impacts respiratory chain function and ultimately cell viability. 25613946 Details

MBTPS1 fingolimod (FTY720) inhibitor MS N/A We found that TCF7 expression was decreased in T cells from untreated RRMS patients (T-RRMS) compared with T cells from healthy controls (T-CTL) in both ex vivo isolated and in vitro-activated T cells. To assess whether FTY720 upregulates TCF7 expression in T cells from RRMS patients, we activated T-RRMS cells in the presence or absence of FTY720 and found higher TCF7 expression in FTY720-treated T-RRMS cells .Patients treated with FTY720 showed a significant reduction in circulating CD4 T cells.Activation of T cells in presence of FTY720 showed a less inflammatory phenotype with reduced production of IFN-γ and GZMB. This decreased effector phenotype of FTY720-treated T cells was dependent on the upregulation of TCF-1.FTY720-induced TCF-1 downregulated the pathogenic cytokines IFN-γ and GZMB by binding to their promoter/enhancer regions and mediating epigenetic modifications. 26714756 Details

Ms4a1 ocrelizumab inhibitor EAE C57BL / 6 Compared with naive mice, B cell repletion occurred overall faster and more simultaneously throughout the various compartments in the context of an active immunization.After the last anti-CD20 treatment, B cells proliferated in spleen and lymph nodes.Preventive anti-CD20 treatment reduced the severity of MOG protein1–117-induced EAE.Repletion of B cells in purely T cell-mediated EAE dampened the preceding disease exacerbation mediated by anti-CD20 treatment. systemic anti-CD20 reduced the frequency of B cells in bone marrow, lymph nodes, and the spleen;abrogation of potent B cell APC function. 30194232 Details
Csf1 GW2580 inhibitor EAE Dark agouti (DA) A delay in the appearance of the neurological disability was observed in the EAE + GW2580 group. A significant reduction of the severity of the disease was observed in the EAE + GW2580 group.The EAE + GW2580 animals did not show any relapse phase and after the acute phase, they were recovering till the 18 DPI, last day of the experiment. A decrease was observed in the EAE + GW2580 groups from 2 DPI compared to the GW2580 animals, which is the same profile of the body weight loss observed in the EAE group but less severe, in close correspondence with the evolution of the symptoms of the disorder, which is followed by a recovery. The tyrosine kinase activity of CSF1R was inhibited by the oral administration of GW2580. GW2580 is a highly selective inhibitor of the c-FMS kinase, and through this pathway, this small molecule blocks CSF1 signaling. 27846891 Details
Il10 amyloid fibrils activator EAE C57BL / 6 mice In gain-of-function experiments, B-1a cells, adoptively transferred to μMT mice with EAE, restored their therapeutic efficacy when Amylin 28–33 was administered.Stimulation of adoptively transferred bioluminescent MΦs and B-1a cells by amyloid fibrils resulted in rapid trafficking of both cell types to draining lymph nodes.Analysis of gene expression indicated that the fibrils activated the CD40/B-cell receptor pathway in B-1a cells and induced a set of immune-suppressive cell-surface proteins, including BTLA, IRF4, and Siglec G.These mechanisms culminate in reduction of paralytic signs of EAE. The fibrils activate B-1a cells and F4/80+ MΦs, resulting in their migration to the lymph nodes, where IL-10 and cell-surface receptors associated with immune-suppression limit antigen presentation and T-cell activation. 26621719 Details

DAB(389)IL-2 directly targets CD4(+) and CD25(+) (IL-2R) T cells and effector T cell function and also indirectly suppresses the activation of macrophage CD169(+) (ED3(+)) and microglia CD11b/c (OX42(+)) populations in the CNS. 23872438 Details
Igf1 IGF-I activator EAE male Lewis rats IGF-I produced significant reductions in numbers and areas of demyelinating lesions.Relative mRNA levels for myelin basic protein, proteolipid protein (PLP), and 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase in lesions of IGF-I-treated rats were significantly higher than they were in placebo-treated rats. PLP mRNA-containing oligodendroglia also were more numerous and relative PLP mRNA levels per oligodendrocyte were higher in lesions of IGF-I-treated rats. Finally, a significantly higher proportion of proliferating cells were oligodendroglia-like cells in lesions of IGF-I-treated rats. Several lines of evidence suggest that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) might be useful in reducing myelin breakdown and promoting myelin regeneration in demyelinating diseases. IGF-I promotes the survival of oligodendroglia and the formation of myelin sheaths in vitro. The content of myelin also is increased in the central nervous system of transgenic mice that overexpress IGF-I. 7541143 Details

Ccl2 P8A-CCL2 inhibitor EAE N/A P8A-CCL2 administration, however, decreased demyelination, axonal loss and number of CNS infiltrating T cells and macrophages. Immunological analysis revealed that P8A-CCL2 does not act on Ag-specific T cell proliferation and does not interfere with the differentiation of IFNgamma-releasing effectors T cells. These results suggest that the therapeutic mechanism of P8A-CCL2 may rely on interference with immune cell recruitment. 19232440 Details
IFNB1 Interferon-beta inhibitor MS RRMS Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 16 patients before and after 3, 6 and 12 months of IFNbeta1b treatment. Eleven patients did not have any clinical relapse, whereas the other five each had one clinical exacerbation during the study.

IRF5 IFN-b inhibitor MS Peripheral blood The combined analysis of available datasets yielded an effect size on MS with odds ratio (OR)MantelHaenszel 1.14 (Po0.002) for the IRF5 polymorphisms rs4728142 and rs3807306 1 IRF pathways also participate in the regulation of the antiviral innate response.2 IRF5-induced innate antiviral responses appear to result in a broad alteration of the transcriptional profile of cellular genes.3,4 IRF5 is expressed mainly in lymphocytes and dendritic cells, but it is induced in other cells in response to type I interferon (IFN)5 20861862 Details
IRF5 IFNb inhibitor MS Peripheral blood We found that patients with the IRF5 rs2004640-TT and rs47281420-AA genotype exerted a poor pharmacological response to IFNb compared with patients carrying the respective G-alleles (P 0.0006 and P 0.0023, respectively). Moreover, patients with the rs2004640-TT genotype developed more magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based T2 lesions during IFNb treatment (P 0.003). Accordingly, an association between MRI-based non-responder status and rs2004640-TT genotype was observed (P 0.010). For the rs4728142-AA genotype a trend of an association with more T2 lesions during IFNb treatment and MRI-based non-responder status was observed (P 0.103 and P 0.154, respectively). Clinical non-responders were characterized by an increased expression of IFN response genes before the start of therapy, and a lack of a pharmacologically induced increase in IFN response gene activity. Because Interferon Regulatory Factor 5 (IRF5) is a master regulator of IFN-activity, we carried out a candidate gene study of IRF5 gene variants in relation to the pharmacological and clinical response upon IFNb treatment 21471993 Details
IFNAR1 IFNb inhibitor MS CSF In vivo recombinant IFN-b–1a treatment induced IFNAR1 and its downstream signaling molecules’ gene expression, suggesting that treatment reconstitutes a deficient endogenous IFN-b regulation of the CD4+ T cells’ pathogenic cytokine production in patients with MS. We identified that the endogenous IFN-b from serum of RRMS patients induced a significantly lower IFN-inducible gene expression in comparison with healthy controls. In addition, in vitro studies have revealed deficient endogenous and exogenous IFN-b signaling in the CD4+ cells derived from patients with MS. Interestingly, upon inhibition of the endogenous IFN-b signaling by silencing IFN regulatory factor (IRF) 7 gene expression, the resting CD4+ T cells secreted significantly higher level of IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21, IL-22, and IL-9, suggesting that endogenous IFN-b suppresses the secretion of these pathogenic cytokines. 24850724 Details
Plp1 teriflunomide inhibitor MS Peripheral blood Treatment of immune-incompetent PLP mutants did not provide evidence for a direct, neuroprotective effect of the medication. When treatment was terminated, no rebound of neuroinflammation occurred and histopathological improvement was preserved for at least 75 days without treatment. After disease onset, teriflunomide halted ongoing axonal perturbation and enabled a recovery of dendritic arborization by surviving ganglion cells. However, neither neuron loss nor clinical features were ameliorated, likely due to already advanced neurodegeneration before treatment onset. Preventive treatment with teriflunomide attenuated the increase in number of CD8+ cytotoxic effector T cells and fostered the proliferation of CD8+ CD122+ PD-1+ regulatory T cells in the CNS 29970109 Details
TBX21 Silymarin inhibitor MS Peripheral blood IFN-γ level at a concentration of 100 μM in comparison with DMSO. Our findings here clearly show that silymarin is an effective regulator for Th1 response in vitro condition. It not only suppresses Th1 proliferating activity but also inhibits T-bet gene expression and IFN-γ production by these cells T-bet gene expression was significantly decreased in Th1 cells isolated from newly diagnosed and IFN-β-treated RRMS patients after treatment with silymarin compared to DMSO control. 30178232 Details
Ltbr vesnarinone inhibitor MS glial cell In the CNS, TNFa is produced by astrocytes and microglia (4). Microglia may be the main producer of TNFIx, because they respond to produce TNFcr much faster than astrocytes and respond to much lower concentration of lipopolysacclharide (LPS) than do astrocytes (4). In this study, we examined the effects ofvesnarinone on TNFa production by microglia. The effects on the other functions of microglia such as proliferation, expression of major histocompatibility complex antigen, enzyme activity and superoxide anion formation were also examined. Tumor necrosis factor 01 (TNFcr) is considered to play a critical role in the development of various pathological processes in the central nervous system (CNS), such as neuronal degeneration, demyelination and gliosis. In order to search for agents which suppress TNFcx production in the CNS for future treatment of these pathological conditions, the effects of a synthetic oral inotropic agent, vesnarinone, on murine microglia were examined. Vesnarinone significantly suppressed TNFa production by microglia in a dose-dependent manner, without affecting their viability, enzyme activity or expression of the major histocompatibility complex. 10210262 Details
CD40 IFN inhibitor MS peripheral blood IFN-r treatment leads to the activation of NF-B in a time-dependent manner, which is inhibited in the presence of anti-TNF-β-neutralizing antibody. These results indicate that IFN-+-induced TNF-β production and subsequent NF-B activation are integral parts of the mechanism of IFN-+-induced CD40 expression we have discovered that a major component of IFN-r-induced CD40 expression involves the endogenous production of the cytokine TNF-r. The inclusion of anti-TNF-r-neutralizing antibody significantly inhibits IFN-r-induced CD40 mRNA and CD40 promoter activity. IFN-r-induced CD40 protein expression is attenuated in TNF-r-deficient microglia and can be restored with exogenous TNF-r. Sitedirected mutagenesis studies demonstrate that three of the four NF-B elements in the CD40 promoter are required for IFN-r-induced CD40 promoter activity 11830590 Details
Mbp curcumin inhibitor MS spinal cord The obtained results indicated it could be concluded that curcumin was able to improve EAE by increasing the amount of MBP gene expression and reducing the intensity of NOGO-A expression Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS). Previous studies have shown that myelin degradation during MS and EAE resulted in reduced expression of some of the proteins, e.g., the MBP (myelin basic protein), and increased expression of genes such as iNOS (Inducible nitric oxide synthase) and NOGO-A in the affected patients. In the present study, EAE was induced by immunizing Wistar rats (n=12) with homogenized spinal cord of guinea pig and Freund's complete adjuvant. 33953873 Details

Nfe2l2 Tecfidera activor MS C57BL/6J mice our results suggested that MMF could potentially be used as a drug to minimize bone loss as a promising alternative to oral antioxidants. MMF activates endogenous antoxidant pathways like HO-1 and Nrf2, which allow the body to modulate levels of ROS with innate gene regulation and protein localization The multiple sclerosis drug Tecfidera contains dimethylfumarate, which is rapidly metabolized to monomethylfumarate (MMF); MMF is thought to function through nuclear factor erythroid-derived-2-like-2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor activated by oxidative stress which induces the expression of endogenous antioxidant systems. 31362266 Details

KCNH1 EGCG activor MS Male guinea pigs ECGC has a number of electrophysiological effects in the heart, and these effects may have clinical significance when multigram doses of this compound are used in human clinical trials or through self-ingestion of large amounts of over-the-counter products enriched in EGCG KvLQT1/minK K channel 20484151 Details
Hdac1 FTY720-Phosphate activor MS LM/Bc mice Elevated nuclear FTY720-P is associated with decreased HDAC activity and increased histone acetylation at H3K18 and H3K23 in LM/Bc MEFs. Treatment of LM/Bc MEFs with FTY720 and a selective Sphk2 inhibitor, ABC294640, significantly reduces the amount of FTY720-P that accumulates in the nucleus. The data provide insight into the relative amounts of FTY720-P generated in the nuclear versus cytoplasmic subcellular compartments after FTY720 treatment and the specific Sphk isoforms involved The results of this study suggest that FTY720-induced NTDs may involve multiple mechanisms, including: (1) sustained and/or altered S1P receptor activation and signaling by FTY720-P produced in the cytoplasm and (2) HDAC inhibition and histone hyperacetylation by FTY720-P generated in the nucleus that could lead to epigenetic changes in gene regulation 26719367 Details
Nfe2l2 Abstract Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) activor MS C57Bl/6N mice Our findings suggest that DMF treatment confers neuroprotection after TBI via preservation of brain GSH levels rather than by modulating neuroinflammation. DMF-treated mice displayed less neurological deficits than vehicle-treated mice and reduced histopathological brain damage.At the same time, the TBI-evoked depletion of brain GSH was prevented by DMF treatment.However, Nrf2 target gene mRNA expression involved in antioxidant and detoxifying pathways was increased in both treatment groups at 4 dal. 28921587 Details
Nos2 LX007 inhibitor MS C57/BL6J We therefore conclude that LX007 exhibits anti-inflammatory effects in LPS-stimulated microglial cells by inhibiting pro-inflammatory mediators corresponding to the downregulating of MAPKs and NF-κB activation. Taken together, the present study indicated that LX007 may have potential to be developed into an anti-inflammatory agent in the future. LX007 inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) expression, as well as their regulatory geneinducible NO syntheses (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in LPS-treated primary microglia. LPS-induced production from microglia of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) was also significantly attenuated by LX007. Mechanistically, LX007 potently suppressed phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 nuclear translocation in LPS-induced microglia. 29198015 Details
App IFNβ activor AD Adult male Wistar rats Our results showed that over-expression of mutant human APP gene in the hippocampus led to learning and memory deficits concomitant with gliosis and pro-inflammatory responses.Interestingly, treatment of AD-modeled rats with IFNβ ameliorated memory impairments possibly through suppressing gliosis and shifting from pro-inflammatory toward anti-inflammatory status, suggesting that IFNβ may be a promising therapeutic agent to improve cognitive functions and modulate inflammatory responses in an AD-like neurodegenerative context. Despite the fact that GFP expression level was lower than APP expression level, the lentiviral system used in this study resulted in an effective and widespread transduction of hippocampal neurons. Difference observed in expression of GFP and APP genes may be due to the particular position of these genes in FsynIGW lentiviral vector. As shown in Fig. 2A, APP gene sequence is upstream of IRES2-GFP sequence. IRES2 sequence allows bicistronic expression of APP and GFP under a neuron-specific promoter, synapsin. It has been indicated that transduced cells with a variety of bicistronic LV strongly express upstream gene of IRES sequence, whereas GFP expression (downstream gene of IRES sequence) is very low or undetectable in these cells 31233762 Details
RORC IFN-b-1a inhibitor MS N/A Findings indicate that IFN-b-1a suppresses Th22 and Th17 cell responses, which were associated with decreased MRI-detectable demyelination IFN-b-1a induced reductions in transcription factor AHR, T-bet, and retinoic acid–related orphan nuclear hormone receptor C (RORc) gene expression, while it increased GATA3’s expression in CD41 cells 26601116 Details
AKT1 LXW7 inhibitor chronic neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer′s disease, Parkinson′s disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) BV2 microglial cell The anti-inflammatory effects of LXW7 may be associated with the inhibition of microglial activation via Akt/NF-κB and JNK/MAPK signaling pathways by blocking integrin αvβ3 receptor. The present study′s findings suggest that LXW7 has a substantial therapeutic potential for treating inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Akt/NF-κB and JNK/MAPK signaling pathways by blocking integrin αvβ3 receptor 31732449 Details
Gpr173 Phoenixin-14 inhibitor MS C57BL/6 mice we demonstrate that PNX-14 could attenuate LPS-induced ER stress response and NLRP3 infammasome activation in mouse cerebral astrocytes Phoenixin-14 (PNX-14) is a ligand for the G protein-coupled receptor GPR173, which we demonstrate to be expressed in astrocytes and suppressed by exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress resulting from injury or disease leads to the unfolded protein response, which is mediated by the activation of transcription factors including eIF-2α, ATF4, and CHOP, and regulated by GADD34. ER stress also leads to a robust neuroinfammatory response, which is mediated by HMGB1-induced activation of the NLRP3 infammasome and subsequent production of IL-1β and IL-18 32435966 Details
CCL5 Glatiramer acetate inhibitor MS brain glatiramer acetate may exert its therapeutic effect in MS partially through inhibiting NF-kB activation and chemokine production our electrophoretic mobility shift assays of nuclear extracts from TNF-a-treated cells reveal an increase in DNA-binding activity specic for the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) binding site, in the 50 -ˉanking promoter region of the human RANTES gene, and that this increase in NF-kB binding activity is prevented by pretreatment with glatiramer acetate or the NF-kB inhibitors. 11389171 Details
Nos2 N-[3,4-Dimethoxycinnamoyl]-anthranilic acid (tranilast, TNL) inhibitor MS brain In summary, we show that TNL inhibits LPS-induced activation of iNOS by inhibiting the activation of PKCd and ERK-2, thus possibly affecting post-translational modification of iNOS mRNA. Our result may have further implications for the use of TNL as a novel therapeutic agent in neurological disorders associated with activation of microglia and increased NO release, including multiple sclerosis PKCd and ERK-2 14505805 Details
IL2 Clofazimine activator MS Peripheral blood clofazimine is a promising immunomodulatory drug candidate for treating a variety of autoimmune disorders. Clofazimine was initially identified as an inhibitor of intracellular T cell receptor-mediated signaling leading to the transcriptional activation of human interleukin-2 gene in T cells from a screen of the Johns Hopkins Drug Library. A systematic mechanistic deconvolution revealed that clofazimine selectively blocked the Kv1.3 channel activity, perturbing the oscillation frequency of the calcium-release activated calcium channel, which in turn led to the inhibition of the calcineurin-NFAT signaling pathway. 19104661 Details
Nos2 kalopanaxsaponin A inhibitor inflammatory effects microglia we showed that kalopanaxsaponin A, a triterpenoid saponin isolated from Kalopanax pictus, inhibited inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated microglia, while kalopanaxsaponin A increased anti-infl ammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 expression. Subsequent mechanistic studies revealed that kalopanaxsaponin A inhibited LPS-induced DNA binding activities of NF-κB and AP-1, and the phosphorylation of JNK without affecting other MAP kinases. Furthermore, kalopanaxsaponin A inhibited the intracellular ROS production with upregulation of anti-infl ammatory hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression. Based on the previous reports that JNK pathway is largely involved in iNOS and proinfl ammatory cytokine gene expression via modulating NF-κB/AP-1 and ROS, our data collectively suggest that inhibition of JNK pathway plays a key role in anti-infl ammatory effects of kalopanaxsaponin A in LPS-stimulated microglia JNK pathway is largely involved in iNOS and proinfl ammatory cytokine gene expression via modulating NF-κB/AP-1 and ROS 24244819 Details

Tgfb1 TGF-b1 inhibitor EAE Peripheral blood TGF-b1 gene delivery had pronounced downregulatory effects on T cell proliferation and production of interferon c (IFN-c ) and tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-a), on in vitro restimulation with MBP. IL-4-IgG1 vector administration also suppressed these responses, although much less than TGF-b1, and enhanced secretion of endogenous IL-4. Therapy resulted in a significant decrease in the severity of histopathologic inflammatory lesions. In the CNS, treatment with either vector suppressed IL-12 and IFN-c mRNA expression, while IL-4 and TGF-b1 mRNA levels were increased compared with control mice. Thus, cytokine plasmid treatment appeared to inhibit MBP-specific pathogenic Th1 responses, while enhancing endogenous secretion of protective cytokines. We demonstrate that gene therapy with these vectors is an effective therapeutic strategy for EAE We studied the immunoregulatory properties of TGF-b1 and IL-4 in an animal model of EAE, by direct intramusculas injection of plasmid DNA expression vectors encoding either TGF-b1 (pVR-TGF-b1) or an IL-4–IgG1 chimeric protein (pVR-IL-4-IgG1). Treatment with either vector resulted in cytokine production capable of suppressing CNS inflammation in mice with MBP-induced EAE. Both cytokines had downregulatory effects on T cell proliferation, and production of proinflammatory cytokines, although TGF-b1 was more suppressive. As well, cytokine gene therapy enhanced the production of endogenous regulatory cytokines in lymph node cells and CNS tissue. Somatic cytokine gene therapy proved to be effective in this autoim- mune disease. 10466625 Details

Trav6-3 OVA inhibitor EAE splenocytes we conclude that CD41 T regulatory cells do not express canonical TCRs and that the altered signaling properties brought about by coexpression of two TCRs are not sufficient for the generation of regulatory T cells. Instead, our results indicate that regulatory T cells belong to a population displaying wide TCR diversity, but in which TCR specificity is central to their protective function as myelin basic protein-specific/OVA-specific recombinase activating gene-12/2 double TCR transgenic mice still developed experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis spontaneously even after immunization with OVA 10799918 Details
