Abstract

Multiple sclerosis is considered a prototype inflammatory autoimmune disorder of the CNS. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein is one of the best-characterized animal models of multiple sclerosis. Comprehensive understanding of gene expression in EAE can help identify genes that are important in drug response and pathogenesis. We applied a 2-DE-based proteomics approach to analyze the protein expression pattern of the brain in healthy and EAE samples. Of more than 1000 protein spots we analyzed, 70 showed reproducible and significant changes in EAE compared to controls. Of these, 42 protein spots could be identified using MALDI TOF-TOF-MS. They included mitochondrial and structural proteins as well as proteins involved in ionic and neurotransmitter release, blood barriers, apoptosis, and signal transduction. The possible role of these proteins in the responses of mice to animal models of multiple sclerosis is discussed.
