- W1994984500 abstract "Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive, inflammatory, demyelinating disease. An altered cytokine network has been reported to occur during the disease, and its pathogenetic role has been hypothesized. To date, interferon-beta (IFN-beta) is the most effective and reliable therapy in the majority of MS patients, although the mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects are not fully understood. Breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with consequent extravasation of the T cells and their invasion of the brain parenchyma seems to be one of the most important steps in the pathogenesis of the disease. Matrix metalloproteinease-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 are enzymes with proteolytic activities toward extracellular matrix ECM components. They are physiologically balanced by the MMP tissue inhibitors TIMP-2 and TIMP-1, so that proteolysis occurs as the result of increased MMP or decreased TIMP levels. In 38 patients with MS, MMP-2 and TIMP-1 levels were similar before and after 9 months of IFN-beta therapy, whereas MMP-9 levels significantly decreased and TIMP-2 levels significantly increased in comparison to values obtained before treatment. These results suggest that IFN-beta modulates T cell activities, including MMP and TIMP production, thus contributing either to maintaining the integrity of the BBB or to slowing the progression of the disease." @default.
