Using EAE to better understand principles of immune function and autoimmune pathology

TLDR
A step-by-step elucidation of the network of signals required for T helper 17 (Th17) cell differentiation, as well as the molecular dissection of the Tim-3 negative regulatory signaling pathway in Th1 cells are focused on.

Integrated single cell analysis of blood and cerebrospinal fluid leukocytes in multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: A single-cell characterization of cerebrospinal fluid and blood of newly diagnosed multiple sclerosis patients is provided, revealing altered composition of lymphocyte and monocyte subsets, validated by other methods including the interrogation of the TFH subset in mouse models of MS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complex regional pain syndrome: A comprehensive and critical review

TL;DR: A detailed critical overview of not only the history of CRPS, but also the epidemiology, the clinical features, the pathophysiological studies, the proposed criteria, the therapy and an emphasis that future research should apply more rigorous standards to allow a better understanding ofCRPS are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

The metabolite BH4 controls T cell proliferation in autoimmunity and cancer

TL;DR: The data uncover GCH1, SPR and their downstream metabolite BH4 as critical regulators of T cell biology that can be readily manipulated to either block autoimmunity or enhance anticancer immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vaccines, adjuvants and autoimmunity

TL;DR: There are several case reports of autoimmune diseases following vaccines, however, due to the limited number of cases, the different classifications of symptoms and the long latency period of the diseases, every attempt for an epidemiological study has so far failed to deliver a connection.
Journal ArticleDOI

From classic to spontaneous and humanized models of multiple sclerosis: impact on understanding pathogenesis and drug development.

TL;DR: The contribution of major classic, spontaneous, and humanized EAE models to the understanding of MS pathophysiology and to insights leading to devising current and future therapies for this disease are discussed.

Two types of murine helper T cell clone. I. Definition according to profiles of lymphokine activities and secreted proteins.

TL;DR: A panel of antigen-specific mouse helper T cell clones was characterized according to patterns of lymphokine activity production, and two types of T cell were distinguished.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reciprocal developmental pathways for the generation of pathogenic effector TH17 and regulatory T cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that IL-6, an acute phase protein induced during inflammation, completely inhibits the generation of Foxp3+ Treg cells induced by TGF-β, and the data demonstrate a dichotomy in thegeneration of pathogenic (TH17) T cells that induce autoimmunity and regulatory (Foxp3+) T Cells that inhibit autoimmune tissue injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

A distinct lineage of CD4 T cells regulates tissue inflammation by producing interleukin 17

TL;DR: In vivo, antibody to IL- 17 inhibited chemokine expression in the brain during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, whereas overexpression of IL-17 in lung epithelium caused Chemokine production and leukocyte infiltration, indicating a unique T helper lineage that regulates tissue inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-23 drives a pathogenic T cell population that induces autoimmune inflammation

TL;DR: Using passive transfer studies, it is confirmed that these IL-23–dependent CD4+ T cells are highly pathogenic and essential for the establishment of organ-specific inflammation associated with central nervous system autoimmunity.
