| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a mouse model for multiple sclerosis (MS). EAE is mainly mediated by adaptive and innate immune responses that lead to an inflammatory demyelination and axonal damage. Dasatinib (Sprycel) is a selective protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor with immunomodulatory properties that abrogates multiple signal transduction pathways in immune cells. In the present research, our aim was to test the therapeutic efficacy of dasatinib in experimental model of MS. METHODS: We performed EAE induction in female C57BL/6 mice by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein(35-55) (MOG(35-55)) in Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) emulsion, and used dasatinib for the treatment of EAE. During the course of study, clinical evaluation was assessed, and on day 21 post-immunization blood samples were taken from the heart of mice for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- ), nitric oxide (NO) and antioxidants capacity evaluation. The mice were sacrificed and brains and cerebellums of mice were removed for histological analysis. Also for in vitro analysis, we used C6 astrocytoma cell line to evaluate the inhibitory effects of dasatinib in cell proliferation and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity. RESULTS: Our findings demonstrated that dasatinib had beneficial effects on EAE by lower incidence, attenuation in the severity and a delay in the onset of disease. The serum level of NO and TNF- in dasatinib treated mice was significantly lower than control mice. In vitro, dasatinib inhibited cell proliferation and MMP-2 activity. CONCLUSION: Dasatinib with its potential therapeutic effects and immunomodulatory properties may be recommended, after additional necessary tests and trials, for the treatment of MS. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
