Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating autoimmune disease characterized by infiltration of T cells into the central nervous system (CNS) after compromise of the blood-brain barrier. A model used to mimic the disease in mice is experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). In this report, we examine the clinical and histopathological course of EAE in eNOS-deficient (eNOS−/−) mice to determine the role of nitric oxide (NO) derived from this enzyme in the disease progression. We find that eNOS−/− mice exhibit a delayed onset of EAE that correlates with delayed BBB breakdown, thus suggesting that NO production by eNOS underlies the T cell infiltration into the CNS. However, the eNOS−/− mice also eventually exhibit more severe EAE and delayed recovery, indicating that NO undertakes dual roles in MS/EAE, one proinflammatory that triggers disease onset, and the other neuroprotective that promotes recovery from disease exacerbation events.
