Thomas Petro, Ph.D, Department of Oral Biology, UNMC College of Dentistry,<\/p>\n

has been awarded a $209,000, three-year grant from the National Multiple<\/p>\n

Sclerosis Society to study a cell protein called Interleukin-12 (IL-12)<\/p>\n

to determine its role in multiple sclerosis.<\/p>\n

The societys President and Chief Executive Officer, Mike Dugan, said<\/p>\n

the research is a promising and difficult study in the interest of all<\/p>\n

those who are living with multiple sclerosis.<\/p>\n

Dr. Petro, who has been studying IL-12 for 10 years, and for the last<\/p>\n

three years as it applies to multiple sclerosis, said despite the known<\/p>\n

association between multiple sclerosis and the protein, there is a lack<\/p>\n

of knowledge about how it is stimulated during the disease.<\/p>\n

We want to know what happens in the first few hours in the cell following<\/p>\n

its infection by a virus that causes multiple sclerosis symptoms in a mouse<\/p>\n

model, said Dr. Petro, principal investigator of the grant.. Despite<\/p>\n

several treatments that have been widely accepted, MS therapies have not<\/p>\n

been developed which exploit the<\/p>\n

signaling mechanisms that lead to the expression of key genes associated<\/p>\n

with disease, Dr. Petro said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Petro said all humans produce IL-12, which is a small protein produced<\/p>\n

by macrophage cells that communicate immune system responses. In regulated<\/p>\n

amounts, IL-12 is important in preventing many diseases, including cancer<\/p>\n

and tuberculosis.<\/p>\n

The problem is when excessive amounts of IL-12 are produced. Dr. Petro<\/p>\n

hypothesizes that excess IL-12 is produced in the mouse brain following<\/p>\n

an infection by an MS-model virus.<\/p>\n

An excess of the protein in the brain in mouse models causes multiple<\/p>\n

sclerosis symptoms, similar to those in humans. He and his team hope to<\/p>\n

determine the details of the key signaling mechanism that leads to a MS-like<\/p>\n

disease in the mouse virus model.<\/p>\n

We expect that similar if not identical signaling mechanisms play a<\/p>\n

role in humans, Dr. Petro said. In the mouse, if IL-12 is blocked, then<\/p>\n

symptoms get better, but we have yet to test this in humans. This gap in<\/p>\n

knowledge is important to fill since IL-12 expression is a feasible target<\/p>\n

for MS therapy.<\/p>\n

We have all the tools available to come up with an answer to exaggerated<\/p>\n

production of IL-12. Of course, we realize sometimes things work great<\/p>\n

in the test tube but dont always work out in the clinic.<\/p>\n

The teams long-term goal is to inhibit or reduce the cellular activity<\/p>\n

of IL-12 and develop therapeutic strategies for disrupting the process<\/p>\n

so symptoms can be reduced.<\/p>\n

If you could somehow lower the IL-12 production, the thought is that<\/p>\n

this will help people by reducing or controlling their MS symptoms. Reducing<\/p>\n

the IL-12 activity seems to help disease symptoms in mice, Dr. Petro said.<\/p>\n

The way MS works is that you have an initial episode with symptoms.<\/p>\n

Then after some time you may get better. Later you may have a recurrence<\/p>\n

of symptoms and the symptoms may get worse. All the while you know the<\/p>\n

symptoms will come back, he said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Petro said he and his colleagues also will study in the laboratory,<\/p>\n

various effects of drugs on IL-12.<\/p>\n

If we can figure out with pharmaceuticals how to inhibit IL-12 gene<\/p>\n

transcription factors, then maybe were on to something, then it actually<\/p>\n

may be possible to do something at the IL-12 gene to reduce or stop symptoms<\/p>\n

of MS. This goal is within reach because presently, several novel anti-cancer<\/p>\n

therapies have emerged from basic research dealing with cell signaling<\/p>\n

mechanisms. It is now time to explore similar possibilities for treatment<\/p>\n

of MS.<\/p>\n

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling, disease of the central<\/p>\n

nervous system. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or<\/p>\n

severeparalysis or loss of vision. There currently is no cure for the<\/p>\n

disease. Until recently, steroids were the principal medications for MS.<\/p>\n

While steroids cannot affect the course of MS over time, they can reduce<\/p>\n

the duration and severity of attacks in some patients.<\/p>\n

Although the disease is not fatal, it causes weakness, tremors, loss<\/p>\n

of vision, cognitive changes, depression and other problems. About half<\/p>\n

of patients become wheelchair bound within 15 years of disease onset and<\/p>\n

during the last stages of the disease, patients are bedridden. According<\/p>\n

to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, an estimated 1,600 to 1,800<\/p>\n

Nebraskans have MS.<\/p>\n

The cause of MS remains elusive, but most people have a normal life<\/p>\n

expectancy. The vast majority of MS patients are mildly affected, but in<\/p>\n

the worst cases, MS can render a person unable to write, speak, or walk.<\/p>\n

MS patients require lifelong medical care and rehabilitation. Each year,<\/p>\n

MS patients incur a loss in productivity of more than $2.5 billion, said<\/p>\n

Dr. Petro.<\/p>\n

Other members of Dr. Petros team include Eric Fung, Ph.D., Jutta Kollet,<\/p>\n

Ph.D., graduate student, and Junu Ohja, graduate student.<\/p>\n
