Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 27032392 |
| Year | 2016 |
| Title | The Effects of IFN-β 1a on the Expression of Inflammasomes and Apoptosis-Associated Speck-Like Proteins in Multiple Sclerosis Patients |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | down-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | Analysis of the results before and after therapy with IFN-β 1α in all patients shows significantly decreased expressions of NLRP3, NLRC4, and AIM2. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Based on our results, it appears that NLRP3, NLRC4, and AIM2 play critical roles in the progression of MS, probably by mediating Th1 and Th17 responses. |
