PG - 1-15 LID - S0165-5728(12)00217-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jneuroim.2012.07.005 [doi] AB - Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has neuroprotective properties but its use has been limited by poor penetration of the blood brain barrier. Treatment using bone marrow stem cells (BMSC) or retroviruses as vectors reduces the clinical and pathological severity of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). We have refined the BMSC based delivery system by introducing a tetracycline sensitive response element to control BDNF expression. We have now tested that construct in EAE and have shown a reduction in both the clinical and pathological severity of the disease. Further, we looked for changes in sirtuin1 and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase expression that would be consistent with a neuroprotective effect. CI - Published by Elsevier B.V.
