Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the murine model for multiple sclerosis (MS), is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) initiated by autoreactive CD4+ T cells. EAE is typically considered a T helper type 1 (Th1) disease but work from our lab utilizing T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic mice specific for a component of myelin has demonstrated that under certain circumstances disease can be induced by T helper type 2 (Th2) cells. We can further delineate specific Th2 subsets termed Th2 (IL-4 producing) and Th2Hi5 (IL-4 and IL-5 producing) which transfer two clinically distinct forms of disease. EAE typically presents with a progressive ascending paralysis (classical EAE), which develops upon transfer of Th1 and Th2 cells into lymphopenic hosts. Th2Hi5 cells, on the other hand, transfer EAE that produces a non-classical form of disease (non-classical EAE) characterized by a head tilt, progressing finally to a rotatory motion around a rostral-to-caudal axis. Consistent with the clinical signs of non-classical disease, we observe pronounced inflammation in the brainstem and cerebellum with marked eosinophilia.

520 $a Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the murine model for multiple sclerosis (MS), is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) initiated by autoreactive CD4+ T cells. EAE is typically considered a T helper type 1 (Th1) disease but work from our lab utilizing T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic mice specific for a component of myelin has demonstrated that under certain circumstances disease can be induced by T helper type 2 (Th2) cells.

Consistent with the clinical signs of non-classical disease, we observe pronounced inflammation in the brainstem and cerebellum with marked eosinophilia.
520 $a Previous work in our lab has established that transgenic mice crossed to RAG-1 knockout mice (T/R-) spontaneously develop classical EAE. When crossed to IFN-gamma knockout mice (T/R-gamma -), however, all mice develop spontaneous, non-classical EAE. Based on the Th2Hi5 phenotype and the pronounced eosinophilia observed in non-classical disease we crossed T/R-gamma- mice with IL-5 deficient mice (T/R-gamma -5-, which revealed that IL-5 and eosinophilia are dispensable for non-classical disease development. Furthermore, IFN-gamma knockout T cells skewed toward the Th1 phenotype still produced non-classical disease but now with a monocytic character. Since chemokines have been implicated in EAE pathogenesis, we analyzed chemokine and chemokine receptor expression on various cells and tissue to define molecules downstream of IFN-gamma that could potentially influence migration to particular locations in the CNS.
