Local Overexpression of Interleukin-11 in the Central Nervous System Limits Demyelination and Enhances Remyelination by Anurag Maheshwari, Kris Janssens, Jeroen Bogie, Chris Van Den Haute, Tom Struys, Ivo Lambrichts, Veerle Baekelandt, Piet Stinissen, Jerome J. A. Hendriks, Helena Slaets, Niels Hellings

“…When IL-11 expressing LV was therapeutically applied in animals with extensive demyelination, a significant enhancement of remyelination was observed as demonstrated by Luxol Fast Blue staining and electron microscopy imaging. Our results indicate that IL-11 promotes maturation of NG2+ OPCs into myelinating CC1+ OLs and may thus explain the enhanced remyelination. …”
