Desarrollo y optimización de un modelo animal para el estudio de las células ganglionares en enfermedad degenerativa de la retina y nervio óptico
2019
Resumen Introduccion La esclerosis multiple es una enfermedad autoinmune, cronica e inflamatoria del sistema nervioso central con desmielinizacion axonal, gliosis y neurodegeneracion. Considerada una causa frecuente de discapacidad neurologica en adultos jovenes. En este trabajo, se ha optimizado un modelo de encefalomielitis autoinmune experimental (EAE), mediante la inyeccion de glicoproteina mielinica de los oligodendrocitos (MOG35-55), se han estudiado las repercusiones oftalmologicas, y se plantea su uso como modelo de experimentacion en otros estudios de degeneracion de las celulas ganglionares (CGR) y del nervio optico (NO). Material y metodos Dieciseis ratones de 10 semanas en 2 gru…
Reducing Peripheral Inflammation with Infliximab Reduces Neuroinflammation and Improves Cognition in Rats with Hepatic Encephalopathy
2016
Inflammation contributes to cognitive impairment in patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). However, the process by which peripheral inflammation results in cognitive impairment remains unclear. In animal models, neuroinflammation and altered neurotransmission mediate cognitive impairment. Taking into account these data, we hypothesized that in rats with HE: (1) peripheral inflammation is a main contributor to neuroinflammation; (2) neuroinflammation in hippocampus impairs spatial learning by altering AMPA and/or NMDA receptors membrane expression; (3) reducing peripheral inflammation with infliximab (anti-TNF-a) would improve spatial learning; (4) this would be associated with reduced n…
