Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The present study provides evidence that interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1) signaling in glial cells is involved in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Using a bone marrow chimera model of EAE, we demonstrated that CNS IRF-1 regulates inflammatory demyelination and disease severity independently of the peripheral immune cells. In addition, we identified Caspase 1, a pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic molecule, as an important transcriptional target of IRF-1. The findings of our study indicate that IRF-1 signaling in glial cells serves as a final common pathway of inflammatory demyelination and may have important clinical implications in MS.
