Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID	18453621
Year	2008
Title	Simvastatin inhibits IL-17 secretion by targeting multiple IL-17-regulatory cytokines and by inhibiting the expression of IL-17 transcription factor RORC in CD4+ lymphocytes

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result	Simvastatin also induced IFN-gamma, IL-4, and IL-27 production in monocytes, which together inhibited IL-17 transcription and secretion in CD4(+) T cells
Mechanism/pathway	These results provide evidence for the novel immunomodulatory mechanisms of statins, which selectively target the regulation of cytokine transcription involved in the development of the human autoimmune response
