Abstract:
SPARC (Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine), a secreted glycoprotein, regulates proliferation, migration and differentiation. SPARC is highly expressed in glia and blood vessels during CNS development. SPARC expression is maintained in tissues undergoing rapid turnover and its expression is highly upregulated during injury or disease. SPARC’s modulatory activity in glia and endothelia during injury lead us to investigate the role of SPARC in an animal model of CNS inflammation and demyelination with known BBB dysfunction: Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE).

Autoimmunity and immune dysregulation are associated with a subset of movement and psychiatric disorders. This paradigm is largely supported by the discovery of autoantibodies against neuronal antigens, like the dopamine-2 receptor (D2R). T cells are a prominent cell subset in the immune system, however, their role in these diseases is unknown. Herein, we identified and characterised D2R-specific T cells in movement and psychiatric disorders in children and adults.

Multiple checkpoints control the survival and activation of auto-reactive B cells.

Autoimmune patients display elevated serum BAFF levels.

While IL-27 suppressed GM-CSF production by Th1 cells in vitro, it did not influence the production of GM-CSF in committed Th17 cells. il2T'- T cells produced more GM-CSF in response to Toxoplasma gondii infection, suggesting IL-27 signalling regulates T cell derived GM-CSF
