Gelatinase B/matrix metalloproteinase-9 is a phase-specific effector molecule, independent from Fas, in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
2018-05-14
Abstract excerpt
Gelatinase B/matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) triggers multiple sclerosis (MS) and the animal model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) by the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier. Interestingly, MMP-9 is beneficial in systemic autoimmunity caused by Fas-deficiency. Fas-deficient ( fas lpr ) and Fas-ligand-deficient mice are protected against EAE. We here investigated the interaction between Fa...
