Neuroprotective effect of transplanted human embryonic stem cell-derived neural precursors in an animal model of multiple sclerosis.

PLoS ONE 3(9) , e3145, (2008)

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). A potential new therapeutic approach for MS is cell transplantation which may promote remyelination and suppress the inflammatory process.We transplanted ...

Prostatic acid phosphatase reduces thermal sensitivity and chronic pain sensitization by depleting phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate.

J. Neurosci. 30 , 10282-93, (2010)

Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) is expressed in nociceptive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, functions as an ectonucleotidase, and generates adenosine extracellularly. Here, we found that PAP inhibits noxious thermal sensitivity and sensitization that is ...

Ligation of the jugular veins does not result in brain inflammation or demyelination in mice.

PLoS ONE 7 , e33671, (2012)

An alternative hypothesis has been proposed implicating chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) as a potential cause of multiple sclerosis (MS). We aimed to evaluate the validity of this hypothesis in a controlled animal model. Animal experiments w...

CB2 cannabinoid receptor targets mitogenic Gi protein-cyclin D1 axis in osteoblasts.

J. Bone Miner Res. 26 , 308-16, (2011)

CB2 is a Gi protein-coupled receptor activated by endo- and phytocannabinoids, thus inhibiting stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity. CB2 is expressed in bone cells and Cb2 null mice show a marked age-related bone loss. CB2-specific agonists both attenuate and...

FTY720, a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator, inhibits CD1d-restricted NKT cells by suppressing cytokine production but not migration.

Lab. Invest. 90 , 9-19, (2010)

FTY720, a sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator, suppresses immune responses by inhibiting T-cell migration into target tissues; however, it does not alter T-cell functions. In this study, we investigated the biological effects of FTY720 on NKT cel...
