Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an autoimmune disease believed to be a model for the human disease multiple sclerosis (MS). Induced by immunizing B10.PL mice with myelin basic protein (MBP), EAE was completely prevented by the administration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 [1,25-(OH)(2)D-3]. 1,25-(OH)(2)D-3 could also prevent the progression of EAE when administered at the appearance of the first disability symptoms. Withdrawal of 1,25-(OH)(2)D-3 resulted in a resumption of the progression of EAE. Thus, the block by 1,25-(OH)(2)D-3 is reversible. A deficiency of vitamin D resulted in an increased susceptibility to EAE. Thus, 1,25-(OH)(2)D-3 or its analogs are potentially important for treatment of MS.
