Title: | Interleukin-25 is detrimental for recovery after spinal cord injury in mice | Authors: | DOOLEY, Dearbhaile LEMMENS, Evi Ponsaerts, Peter HENDRIX, Sven |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Publisher: | BIOMED CENTRAL LTD | Source: | JOURNAL OF NEUROINFLAMMATION, 13 | Abstract: | Background: The cytokine, interleukin (IL)-25, is thought to be critically involved in inducing a type 2 immune response which may contribute to regeneration after central nervous system (CNS) trauma. We investigated whether applying recombinant IL-25, locally or systemically, in a mouse model of spinal cord injury (SCI) improves functional and histological recovery. Findings: Repeated systemic administration of IL-25 did not influence functional recovery following SCI. In contrast, a single local administration of IL-25 significantly worsened locomotor outcome, which was evident from a decreased Basso mouse scale (BMS) score compared with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)-treated controls. This was accompanied by a significant increase in lesion size, demyelination, and T helper cell infiltration. Conclusions: These data show for the first time that IL-25 is either ineffective when applied systemically or detrimental to spinal cord recovery when applied locally. Our findings question the potential neuroprotective role of IL-25 following CNS trauma. | Notes: | [Dooley, Dearbhaile; Lemmens, Evi; Hendrix, Sven] Hasselt Univ, Biomed Res Inst, Dept Morphol, Diepenbeek, Belgium.
