Neuronal growth factors may exert a neuroprotective effect in multiple sclerosis (MS). We found reduced levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF) in the serum and CSF of relapsing-remitting MS patients, which was reversed by therapy with glatiramer acetate. BDNF may play a protective role in MS, and immunomodulation therapy, such as with glatiramer acetate, may enhance the action this mechanism.
神经元生长因子可能在多发性硬化症(MS)中发挥神经保护作用。我们发现复发缓解型MS患者血清和脑脊液中脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)水平降低,而醋酸格拉替雷治疗可使其逆转。BDNF可能在MS中发挥保护作用,免疫调节治疗,如使用醋酸格拉替雷,可能会增强这一机制的作用。
