abstract = {Previous studies have shown that both the innate and
adaptive immune systems foster progression of neuropathy and
clinical symptoms in a mouse model for Charcot-Marie-Tooth
1X disease. Here we demonstrate a possible therapeutic
translation of these findings using the clinically approved
sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator fingolimod
(FTY720) in connexin32-deficient mice mimicking
Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1X disease. Treatment with FTY720
prevented an increase of CD8+ and CD4+ T-lymphocyte numbers
in both femoral quadriceps nerve as well as in ventral
spinal roots. While macrophages of ventral spinal roots show
a similar, albeit non-significant trend, macrophages from
quadriceps nerve are not reduced upon treatment. On the
histopathological level, axonopathic changes were reduced in
ventral spinal roots, but not in quadriceps nerves upon
treatment. Electrophysiological recordings displayed
improved nerve conduction parameters upon FTY720 treatment,
while clinically, FTY720 treatment ameliorated distinct
parameters of motor performance and grip strength. We
suggest that targeting the adaptive immune system might be a
pharmacological treatment option for mitigating disease
burden particularly in severe cases of Charcot-Marie-Tooth
1X.},
