Özet:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered an autoimmune disease in the white
matter of the brain, which is thought to induce an inflammatory cascade of T
cells against myelin proteins and other unspecified antigens and is thought to be
caused by demyelination and intense astrogliosis. Although the disease is still
unknown, several environmental risk factors and genetic factors can be
identified. An increased risk of developing MS is associated with environmental
factors such as Epstein-Barr virus infection, smoking, high salt intake, vitamin D
deficiency, and genetic factors, often associated with immune function.There is
still no suitable treatment for MS today. Fingolimod is a structural analogue of
natural sphingosis modulating the sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor, the
first oral drug approved by the FDA and approved by the disease. Fingolimod
suppresses S1P receptors on lymphocytes, preventing the migration of
lymphocytes from lymph nodes. Molecular gene expression variability analyzes
were performed on SH-SY5Y and CCRF-CEM cells of Fingolimod (trade name
Gilenya) derivative ST-1505.The administration of the ST-1505 compound at the
dose of EC10 in the SH-SY5Y cell line resulted in 6.68; 1.66; 8.00; 6.75; 2.42;
5:54; 5:56; 1.85; 3:46; 7:11; 1.64 foldsuppression in the expression of the
inflammatory cytokines CXCR3, TNF, CXCL9, HLA-DRB1, STAT3, C1S,
CCL3, CD44, CSF1, IL10 and NFKB1, respectively.Similarly, the
expression levels of IL-6, CXCR3, TNF, CXCL10, CXCL9, HLA-DRB1 and
STAT3 genes at the same dose in the CCRF-CEM cell line were found to be 1.96;
6.68; 1.66; 2.15; 8.00; 6.75 and 2.42-fold suppressed. We are still working with
CCRF- CEM cell linet o confirm the results. These results provided that the
compound ST- 1505 had a good anti-inflammatory effect and was considered
promising for the treatment of MS.
