| Title | Direct immunomodulatory influence of IFN-b on human astrocytoma cells |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | We found a significant dose-dependent increase in IL-10 gene expression in A172 and 1321N1 cells treated with IFN-b or LPS/IFN-g/IFN-b. Moreover, a significant decrease was observed in iNOS expression suggesting a similar mechanism of action for both cells. Eventually there were no significant changes concerning the modulation of the MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in response to IFN-b treatment. In part, the immunomodulatory effect of IFN-b may be due to increase of IL-10 and suppression of iNOS expression in astrocytes of brain tissue. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | These results showed that recombinant IFN-b used in this study had no significant direct effect on MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expression |
