Neutrophil protease inhibition reduces neuromyelitis optica-immunoglobulin G-induced damage in mouse brain.
- Abstract:
-
OBJECTIVE: Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system associated with pathogenic autoantibodies against the astrocyte water channel protein aquaporin-4 (AQP4). The presence of neutrophils is a characteristic feature in NMO lesions in humans. Neutrophils are not generally found in multiple sclerosis lesions. We evaluated the role of neutrophils in a mouse NMO model. METHODS: NMO lesions were produced in mice by intracerebral injection of ...
