Pubmed ID 27771353
Year 2017
Title G-CSF treatment promotes apoptosis of autoreactive T cells to restrict the inflammatory cascade and accelerate recovery in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result Moreover, G-CSF promoted the G0/G1 to S phase transition of MOG35-55 autoreactive T cells inducing apoptosis and elevating Bax gene expression of apoptosis marker.
Mechanism/pathway Bax activation leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death. Bax protein forms heterodimers with the apoptosis inhibitor Bcl-2, and the relative levels of these two molecules determine the cell's death.
