Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. IL-12p40 rrionokines play a critical role in the generation of EAE-inducing CD4+T cells. Here we show that IL-12 directly upregulates the expression of the adhesion molecule, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand (PSGL-1), on B10.PL MBP-TCR transgenic T cells during their initial encounter with antigen. Pre-incubation of IL-12-stimulated myelin-reactive CD4+T cells with a blocking antibody against PSGL-1 reduced the incidence and severity of EAE. We conclude that IL-12-driven PSGL-1 expression can facilitate the development of autoimmune demyelination. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
