Optic neuritis is associated with myelin basic protein and proteolipid protein reactive cells producing interferon-gamma, interleukin-4 and transforming growth factor-beta.

Abstract:

:Studies on patients with monosymptomatic optic neuritis (ON) should give opportunities to identify features typical for early multiple sclerosis (MS). There are increased T and B cell responses to the myelin components myelin basic protein (MBP) and proteolipid protein (PLP) in both ON and MS, but there is little information on the types of cytokines produced by such cells. We describe the use of in situ hybridization with complementary DNA oligonucleotide probes to detect and enumerate mononuclear cells expressing mRNA for the cytokines interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) which augments cell-mediated immunity; interleukin-4 (IL-4) which promotes the B cell response; and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) that in many cases downregulates immune responses. Expression of these cytokines was studied in mononuclear cells from peripheral blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with ON and MS after in vitro exposure to MBP and PLP, and in absence of antigen. There were elevated levels of cells that in response to MBP and PLP expressed IFN-gamma, IL-4 and TGF-beta mRNA in blood and further enriched in CSF in both ON and MS, compared to patients with other neurological diseases. The results suggest that IFN-gamma, IL-4 as well as TGF-beta are involved in both ON and MS, and that the cytokine profile in early MS as reflected by ON is not different from that in clinically definite MS.
