Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA miR-326 regulates TH-17 differentiation and is associated with the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis.

TL;DR: A TH-17 cell–associated microRNA, miR-326, is identified whose expression was highly correlated with disease severity in patients with multiple sclerosis and mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, and its overexpression led to more TH- 17 cells and severe EAE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Critical regulation of CD4+ T cell survival and autoimmunity by beta-arrestin 1.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the multifunctional adaptor protein β-arrestin 1 positively regulated naive and activated CD4+ T cell survival and is a factor in susceptibility to autoimmunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blocking A2B Adenosine Receptor Alleviates Pathogenesis of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis via Inhibition of IL-6 Production and Th17 Differentiation

TL;DR: It is discovered that A2BAR was upregulated both in the peripheral blood leukocytes of MS patients and the peripheral lymphoid tissues of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice and suggested that this receptor might be a new therapeutic target for the development of anti-MS drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired regulatory function and enhanced intrathecal activation of B cells in neuromyelitis optica: distinct from multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: The results further define the distinct immunological nature of NMO and RRMS from the B cell perspective and suggest an enhanced intrathecal B cell recruitment and activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Antiepileptic Drug Valproic Acid Restores T Cell Homeostasis and Ameliorates Pathogenesis of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

TL;DR: VPA was found to reduce spinal cord inflammation, demyelination, and disease scores in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a mouse model of MS and indicated that VPA induces apoptosis in activated T cells and maintains the immune homeostasis.
