Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a T-cell-mediated autoimmune central nervous system disease characterized by inflammation with oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate an anti-inflammatory effect of on EAE-induced paralysis in rats. An ethanolic extract of significantly delayed the first onset and reduced the duration and severity of hind-limb paralysis. The neuropathological and immunohistochemical findings in the spinal cord were in agreement with these clinical results. T-cell proliferation assay revealed that the ethyl-acetate fraction of suppressed the proliferation of myelin basic protein reactive T cells from EAE affected rats. Flow cytometric analysis showed TCRαβ T cells was significantly reduced in the spleen of EAE rats with treatment with concurrent decrease of inflammatory mediators including tumor necrosis factor-α and cyclooxygenase-2. Collectively, it is postulated that ameliorates EAE paralysis with suppression of T-cell proliferation as well as decrease of pro-inflammatory mediators as far as rat EAE is concerned.
实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎(EAE)是一种由T细胞介导的自身免疫性中枢神经系统疾病,其特征为伴有氧化应激的炎症反应。本研究旨在评估[具体物质名称未给出]对EAE诱导的大鼠麻痹的抗炎作用。[具体物质名称未给出]的乙醇提取物显著延迟了首次发病时间,并缩短了后肢麻痹的持续时间和严重程度。脊髓的神经病理学和免疫组织化学结果与这些临床结果一致。T细胞增殖试验表明,[具体物质名称未给出]的乙酸乙酯部分抑制了EAE患病大鼠髓鞘碱性蛋白反应性T细胞的增殖。流式细胞术分析显示,用[具体物质名称未给出]治疗的EAE大鼠脾脏中TCRαβ T细胞显著减少,同时炎症介质包括肿瘤坏死因子-α和环氧化酶-2也减少。总体而言,就大鼠EAE而言,推测[具体物质名称未给出]通过抑制T细胞增殖以及减少促炎介质来改善EAE麻痹。
