Methods: Calcium ion (Ca2 ) influx into the optic nerve (ON) through VDCCs was investigated in a rat model of optic neuritis using manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and in vivo calcium imaging. After having identified the most relevant channel subtype (N-type VDCCs), we correlated immunohistochemistry of channel expression with ON histopathology. In the confirmatory part of this work, we performed a treatment study using -conotoxin GVIA, an N-type specific blocker. Results: We observed that pathological Ca2 influx into ONs during optic neuritis is mediated via N-type VDCCs. By analyzing the expression of VDCCs in the inflamed ONs, we detected an upregulation of 1B, the pore-forming subunit of N-type VDCCs, in demyelinated axons. However, high expression levels were also found on macrophages/activated microglia, and lower levels were detected on astrocytes. The relevance of N-type VDCCs for inflammation-induced axonal degeneration and the severity of optic neuritis was corroborated by treatment with -conotoxin GVIA. This blocker led to decreased axon and myelin degeneration in the ONs together with a reduced number of macrophages/activated microglia. These protective effects were confirmed by analyzing the spinal cords of the same animals. Interpretation: We conclude that N-type VDCCs play an important role in inflammation-induced axon degeneration via two mechanisms: First, they directly mediate toxic Ca2 influx into the axons; and second, they contribute to macrophage/microglia function, thereby promoting secondary axonal damage."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/ ana.21668"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/6088"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/60296"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Role of N-Type Voltage-Dependent Calcium Channels in Autoimmune Optic Neuritis"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

It improves the disease course by reducing the relapse rate as well as the persistent neurological deficits. Recent MRI and post-mortem studies revealed that neuronal and axonal damage are most relevant for chronic disability in MS patients. We have characterized previously time course and mechanisms of neuronal apoptosis in a rat model of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-induced optic neuritis. In this animal model, application of IFN-beta-1a three times per week slightly decreases the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the neurons that form the axons within the optic nerve. In contrast to neurotrophic factors, this cytokine does not directly protect cultured RGCs from apoptosis. We conclude that IFN-beta-1a is a suitable candidate to be combined with a directly neuroprotective agent in order to further decrease axonal and neuronal degeneration in MS patients.

The aim of this study was to assess the application of OCT for the in vivo monitoring and follow-up of pathological changes during experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) in rats. Initially we established OCT imaging in healthy brown Norway rats and correlated it with retinal histology. Subsequently, we induced EAU and imaged animals by OCT throughout the pre-peak, peak, and post-peak phases of the disease. The sensitivity of OCT imaging was determined by comparison with clinical EAU and histopathology scores obtained ex vivo at several time points throughout the disease course. Our data demonstrate that OCT imaging of the healthy rat retina closely correlates with histological observations and allows the clear visualization of all retinal layers. After induction of EAU, the first pathological changes could be detected by OCT at day (d) 8 post-immunization (p.i.) which corresponded to the time point of clinical disease onset. An increase in retinal thickness (RI) was detected from d10 p.i. onwards which peaked at d16 p.i. and decreased again to near control levels by d20 p.i. We introduce a novel semi-quantitative OCT scoring which correlates with histopathological findings and complements the clinical scores. Therefore, we conclude that OCT is an easily accessible, non-invasive tool for detection and follow-up of histopathological changes during EAU in rats. Indeed, significant differences in RI between different stages of EAU suggest that this OCT parameter is a sensitive marker for distinguishing disease phases in vivo. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

METHODS. First, OCT imaging was established for imaging of all retinal layers in Brown Norway rats. Second, thickness measurements of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) were performed by periodically imaging during the development and progression of autoimmune optic neuritis. Third, the reproducibility of OCT measurements was determined by comparing RNFL measurements of two independent investigators. Fourth, OCT data were correlated with histopathology obtained ex vivo after the final imaging session. RESULTS. Results showed that RNFL thickness declined significantly before clinical manifestation of the disease and decline progresses continuously during the disease course. RNFL thickness measured by OCT had good repeatability and also corresponded with histomorphometric measurements. The reproducibility was limited because of the post-processing analyses performed by manual measurements. CONCLUSIONS. In summary, it is shown here for the first time that OCT can reliably monitor neurodegeneration in an experimental model of autoimmune optic neuritis in rodents. Moreover, in comparing RNFL thickness decline with histopathological analyses of the optic nerve, these results suggest an early, and in part, inflammation-independent process of RNFL degeneration in autoimmune optic neuritis."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1167/iovs.11-8092"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142601"],["dc.identifier.isi","000302694500026"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22131393"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/23"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","0146-0404"],["dc.title","An Optical Coherence Tomography Study on Degeneration of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer in Rats with Autoimmune Optic Neuritis"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
