项目摘要
Project Summary
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and existing
treatment options are only modestly effective for slowing eventual disease progression. The United States has
approximately 500,000 cases of MS in adults and worldwide there are approximately 2.5 million cases of adult
MS. This disease initially involves immune-mediated demyelination and transection of axons within the CNS,
and later transitions into a neurodegenerative condition associated with insufficient neurotrophic support in the
CNS. Cognitive and walking impairments are common in upwards of 60-80% of persons with MS, and are risk
factors for unemployment, disability, and compromised quality of life. These issues underscore the importance
of developing new therapy regimens to mitigate and reduce the severity of MS.
Immunotherapy through immunosuppressive agents has been the standard of care used to alleviate
chronic relapse forms of MS. Many of these drugs work by sequestering lymphocytes to the lymph nodes,
thereby reducing the number of circulating white blood cells resulting in fewer cells available to attack the
nerve fibers. All of the available immunotherapy agents have side effects associated with the suppression of
the immune system with the most critical including increased blood pressure, liver problems and death.
Based on the idea that a reduction of lymphocytes can alleviate symptoms of MS, we propose a novel
therapeutic intervention for targeting lymphocytes residing in the cervical lymph nodes (CLNs) using focused
ultrasound in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) rat model of MS. Focused ultrasound
allows hyperthermia to be targeted to specific tissues, i.e., the CLNs which primarily service the CNS, to
degrade or kill lymphocytes residing in the CLNs. By killing or degrading the function of lymphocytes in the
CLNs, we hypothesize that the severity of EAE will be alleviated. Our recent pilot study has provided first ever
evidence that this approach results in remittance of EAE symptoms statistically significantly more than without
therapy. However, our pilot study was on a limited number of animals with a single exposure condition. To
further test our hypothesis and demonstrate the efficacy of this novel EAE therapy, a larger study is warranted
to explore a range of therapy exposure conditions, larger animal numbers to detect smaller effects and
analyses to elucidate mechanisms responsible for the therapy effects and quantify side effects.
To address these needs, two specific aims are proposed. The first specific aim is to explore a range of
ultrasound therapy exposure conditions and quantify the effects of the exposure conditions on the therapy
outcomes. The range of exposure conditions to be explored include: thermal dose, timing between treatments
and EAE injection dose/treatment response. The second specific aim is to elucidate the effects of treatment on
susceptibility to an upper-respiratory viral infection. We will quantify any reduction in immune response
resulting as a side effect from our FUS therapy.

多发性硬化(MS)是一种免疫介导的中枢神经系统(CNS)疾病,

通过免疫抑制剂的免疫疗法已经成为用于缓解免疫缺陷的标准护理。
MS的慢性复发形式。这些药物中的许多通过将淋巴细胞隔离到淋巴结来起作用,

基于淋巴细胞减少可以减轻MS症状的想法,我们提出了一种新的治疗方法。
