Glatiramer acetate (GA) is an immunomodulator approved for therapy of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), but recent findings indicate that it may also have additional, neurotrophic effects. Here, we found that supernatants from human GA-reactive T lymphocytes potentiated oligodendrocyte numbers in rodent and human oligodendrocyte progenitor (OPC) cultures. Effects of Th2-polarized lines were stronger than Th1-polarized cells. Microarray and ELISA analyses revealed that neurotrophic factors induced in Th2- and Th1-polarized GA-reactive lines included IGF-2 and BMP-7 respectively, and functional studies confirmed IGF-2 as trophic for OPCs. Our results support the concept that GA therapy may result in supportive effects on oligodendrocytes in RRMS patients.
醋酸格拉替雷(GA)是一种被批准用于复发缓解型多发性硬化症(RRMS)治疗的免疫调节剂,但最近的研究结果表明,它可能还具有额外的神经营养作用。在此,我们发现来自人GA反应性T淋巴细胞的上清液可增强啮齿动物和人少突胶质细胞祖细胞(OPC)培养物中少突胶质细胞的数量。Th2极化细胞系的作用强于Th1极化细胞。微阵列和酶联免疫吸附测定分析显示,Th2和Th1极化的GA反应性细胞系中诱导产生的神经营养因子分别为胰岛素样生长因子2(IGF-2)和骨形态发生蛋白7(BMP-7),功能研究证实IGF-2对OPC具有营养作用。我们的结果支持这样一种观点,即GA治疗可能对RRMS患者的少突胶质细胞产生支持作用。
