Recent studies indicate that early T lymphocyte activation 1
(Eta-1), also known as osteopontin, is a cytokine contributing to the
development of Th1 immunity. In the present report, the role of Eta-1
in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a disease
associated with Th1 immunity, was examined by analysis of disease
progression in Eta-1-deficient (Eta-1-/-) mice. Although
incidence and onset of peptide-induced EAE were found to be similar in
Eta-1-/- and Eta-1+/+ mice,
Eta-1-/- mice displayed significantly lower mean maximal
clinical score and faster recovery without spontaneous relapses.
Accordingly, decreased inflammatory infiltration and demyelination were
observed in the spinal cords of Eta-1-/- mice.
Furthermore, in comparison to Eta-1+/+,
Eta-1-/- CD4+ T cells had reduced expression
of IFN-
and TNF-
upon ex vivo restimulation. Taken together,
these results suggest that Eta-1 may sustain autoimmune responses by
assisting in maintenance of Th1 immunity during
EAE.
