Description: | Laquinimod is a potent immunomodulator which prevents neurodegeneration and inflammation in the central nervous system. |
In Vivo: | Laquinimod treatment inhibits donor myelin-specific T cells from transferring EAE to naive recipient mice. In vivo laquinimod treatment alters subpopulations of myeloid antigen presenting cells (APC) that include a decrease in CD11c+CD11b+CD4+ dendritic cells (DC) and an elevation of CD11bhiGr1hi monocytes[1]. |
In Vitro: | Laquinimod reverses EAE and inhibits pathogenic T cell immune responses. Laquinimod reverses RR-EAE and inhibits inflammatory T cell responses via a direct effect on myeloid APC. Laquinimod alters myeloid APC subsets and inhibits Th1 and Th17 polarization of myelin-specific T cells. Laquinimod-induced type II (M2) monocytes reverse established EAE[1]. Laquinimod modulates the phenotype of B cells of healthy donors. Laquinimod modulates expression of markers related to regulatory capacity in B cells of RRMS patients. Laquinimod reduces IFNγ cytokine expression in CD4+ T cells[2]. |
Cell Assay: | Purified CD11b+ cells from laquinimod- or vehicle-treated mice are cultured with naive CD4+ cells isolated from laquinimod- or vehicle-treated 2D2 mice and antigen (MOG p35-55, 20 µg/mL). Cells are cultured in 96-well microtitre plates at a concentration of 0.25×106 cells/mL. Culture medium consisted of RPMI 1640 supplemented with L-glutamine (2 mM), sodium pyruvate (1 mM), penicillin (100 U/mL), streptomycin (0.1 mg/mL), 2-mercaptoethanol (5×10-5 M) and 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum. Cells are incubated for 48 h and pulsed for 18 h with 1 µCi per well of [3H]-thymidine before harvesting. |
Animal Administration: | Seven to 10-week-old female C57BL/6, DBA/1 or SJL/J mice are injected subcutaneously with 50 µg MOG p35-55, 50 µg rMOG or 100 µg PLP p139-151, respectively, in complete Freund's adjuvant. After immunization and 2 days later, mice receive 200 ng (C57BL/6) or 100 ng (SJL/J) pertussis toxin intraperitoneally (i.p.). For adoptive transfer, donor SJL/J mice are immunized as described above and treated daily with laquinimod or vehicle. 10 days later, cells from draining lymph nodes and spleen are isolated, re-stimulated for 48 h (20 µg/mL PLP p139-151), and injected i.p. into naive SJL/J recipients (107 cells per mouse). Animals are observed daily and clinical scores are assessed as follows: 0, no signs; 1, decreased tail tone; 2, mild monoparesis or paraparesis; 3, severe paraparesis; 4, paraplegia and/or quadraparesis; and 5, moribund or death. |
