Furthermore, the production of IL-17 and IL-6 by MS-derived T cells was directly related with neurological disability (EDSS score), and the release of these cytokines was less sensitive to glucocorticoid inhibition in MS patients than in control group, mainly after DA addition.

Furthermore, in vitro IL-17 production was positively related with neurological disability and its release was proportional to IL-23 and IL-6 productions by LPS-activated monocytes.

Since histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have been previously shown to improve neurological disability, we also show that treatment with trichostatin A (a HDAC inhibitor) improves the NDS of EAE mice but does not change MBP acetylation.
In contrast, inhibition of C5aR1-mediated inflammation diminished expression of major pro-inflammatory mediators, but unlike C6 inhibition, it did not stop progression of neurological disability completely.
The objective of our case-control study was to analyze the association of two functional ICAM1 polymorphisms rs1799969 (or rs1799969" genes_norm="3383">G241R) and rs5498 (or K469E) with susceptibility to MS and evaluate their influence on the age at disease onset, severity, neurological disability and progression rate.
Our research suggests that the elevated ratio of MeCP2E1 relative to MeCP2E2 may be a useful diagnostic marker that clinicians can utilize to determine the degree of neurological disability with associated myelin damage.
The aim of the current study was to analyse the association of CCR2+190 G/A (rs1799864) polymorphism with susceptibility to MS and its influence on the age at onset, severity and neurological disability in MS. CCR2 genotyping was carried out by a polymerase chain reaction with restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 301 MS patients and 342 healthy controls.
In summary, expression of miR-320a is decreased in B cells of MS patients and may contribute to increased blood-brain barrier permeability and neurological disability.
The affected family members described here exhibited visual loss later than is typical for OPA1-related disease, as well as later onset of other neurological abnormalities in the fifth or sixth decades of life that progressed to severe neurological disability by the seventh decade.
Furthermore, in vitro IL-17 production was positively related with neurological disability and its release was proportional to IL-23 and IL-6 productions by LPS-activated monocytes.
Measles virus RNA decreased rapidly after the INF-alpha therapy was started, paralleling the decrease in the measles antibody titer in the cerebrospinal fluid and the improvement in the neurological disability.
No correlation of the BDI sum scores with Th2-type cytokine mRNA expression for interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) or with the extent of neurological disability was observed.
