摘要:

多发性硬化的特点是脱髓鞘变化和神经元损失,由炎症细胞激活和浸润到中枢神经系统引起。巨噬细胞极化在多发性硬化的传统实验模型实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎的发病机制中起着重要作用。实验旨在探讨Fasudil对巨噬细胞的作用机制,了解Fasudil修饰的巨噬细胞对自身免疫性脑脊髓炎的治疗潜力。实验发现Fasudil将巨噬细胞从促炎性M1转化为抗炎性M2,表现为减少诱导性一氧化氮合成酶/一氧化氮、白细胞介素12和CD16/32,同时增加精氨酸酶1、IL-10、 CD14和CD206,它们与抑制巨噬细胞ROCK-II/p-MYPT1活性、TLRs/MAPK和NF-κB/RPS3信号通路激活以及促炎症细胞因子肿瘤坏死因子α、白细胞介素1β、白细胞介素6的产生有关。更重要的是,Fasudil修饰的巨噬细胞在治疗自身免疫性脑脊髓炎方面具有疗效,显示出发病时间较晚,减轻临床症状,改善脱髓鞘,减少中枢炎性细胞浸润的作用。此外,Fasudil修饰的巨噬细胞可以抑制CD4+T细胞的IL-17百分比和F4/80+巨噬细胞的CD16/32、诱导性一氧化氮合成酶、白细胞介素12百分比,促进CD4+T细胞的白细胞介素10百分比和F4/80+巨噬细胞的精氨酸酶1、CD206、白细胞介素10百分比,具有免疫调节和改善炎症性微环境的作用。这些结果表明,Fasudil修饰的巨噬细胞可通过诱导M2巨噬细胞的极化和抑制炎症反应而对对自身免疫性脑脊髓炎发挥治疗作用。

Abstract: Multiple sclerosis is characterized by demyelination and neuronal loss caused by inflammatory cell activation and infiltration into the central nervous system. Macrophage polarization plays an important role in the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a traditional experimental model of multiple sclerosis. This study investigated the effect of Fasudil on macrophages and examined the therapeutic potential of Fasudil-modified macrophages in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. We found that Fasudil induced the conversion of macrophages from the pro-inflammatory M1 type to the anti-inflammatory M2 type, as shown by reduced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase/nitric oxide, interleukin-12, and CD16/32 and increased expression of arginase-1, interleukin-10, CD14, and CD206, which was linked to inhibition of Rho kinase activity, decreased expression of toll-like receptors, nuclear factor-κB, and components of the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, and generation of the pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-6. Crucially, Fasudil-modified macrophages effectively decreased the impact of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, resulting in later onset of disease, lower symptom scores, less weight loss, and reduced demyelination compared with unmodified macrophages. In addition, Fasudil-modified macrophages decreased interleukin-17 expression on CD4+ T cells and CD16/32, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and interleukin-12 expression on F4/80+ macrophages, as well as increasing interleukin-10 expression on CD4+ T cells and arginase-1, CD206, and interleukin-10 expression on F4/80+ macrophages, which improved immune regulation and reduced inflammation. These findings suggest that Fasudil-modified macrophages may help treat experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by inducing M2 macrophage polarization and inhibiting the inflammatory response, thereby providing new insight into cell immunotherapy for multiple sclerosis.
