研究員已經辨識出可能治癒多發性硬化症的2個目標基因
ROCHESTER, Minn., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A Mayo Clinic study has
found that two genes in mice were associated with good central nervous system
repair in multiple sclerosis (MS). These findings give researchers new hope
for developing more effective therapies for patients with MS and for
predicting MS patients' outcomes. This study will be presented at the Congress
of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis in
Dusseldorf, Germany, on Sept. 11, 2009.

"Most MS genetic studies have looked at disease susceptibility -- or why some
people get MS and others do not," says Allan Bieber, Ph.D., a Mayo Clinic
neuroscientist and author of this study. "This study asked, among those who
have MS, why do some do well with the disease while others do poorly, and what
might be the genetic determinants of this difference in outcome."
Mayo Clinic provides care for nearly 2,500 patients with MS each year. MS is a
disease of the central nervous system that includes the brain, spinal cord and
nerves. MS is called a demyelinating disease because it results from damage to
myelin, the insulating covering of nerves. It occurs most commonly in those
between the ages of 20 and 40, and is the most frequent neurological disorder
in young adults in North America and Europe. Approximately 330,000 people in
the United States have MS. Symptoms include loss of muscle coordination,
strength, vision, balance and cognition.
Dr. Bieber and a team of Mayo Clinic researchers used two different strains of
mice with a chronic, progressive MS-like disease. One strain progressed to
paralysis and death. The other underwent the initial damage induction phase of
the disease and then spontaneously repaired the damage to the central nervous
system and retained most neurologic function. Using the powerful genetic
mapping techniques that are available for mice, the team mapped two strong
genetic determinants of good disease outcome.
"It's possible that the identification of these genes may provide the first
important clue as to why some patients with MS do well, while others do not,"
says Dr. Bieber. "The genetic data indicates that good central nervous system
repair results from stimulation of one genetic pathway and inhibition of
another genetic pathway. While we're still in the early stages of this
research, it could eventually lead to the development of useful therapies that
stimulate or inhibit these genetic pathways in patients with MS."
According to Dr. Bieber, the research suggests that there may be a small
number of strong genetic determinants for central nervous system repair
following demyelinating disease, rather than a larger number of weak
determinants.
"If that's true, it may be possible to map the most important genetic
determinants of central nervous system repair in patients with MS and define a
reparative genotype that could predict patients' outcomes," says Moses
Rodriguez, M.D., a Mayo Clinic neurologist and director of Mayo Clinic's
Center for Multiple Sclerosis and Central Nervous System Demyelinating
Diseases Research and Therapeutics. "Such a diagnostic tool would be a great
benefit to patients with MS and is consistent with the concepts of
'individualized medicine."
Also on the Mayo Clinic research team was Kanitta Suwansrinon, M.D.
About Mayo Clinic
Mayo Clinic is the first and largest integrated, not-for-profit group practice
in the world. Doctors from every medical specialty work together to care for
patients, joined by common systems and a philosophy of "the needs of the

看來, 又向治癒的目標進了一步.
【台灣醒報記者楊舒婷綜合報導】
世界衛生組織預測，未來20年，憂鬱症將成人類健康最大威脅。目前全球心理疾病患者約有4億多名，大部分位在心理醫療照護支出預算不到2%的發展中國家，且窮人比富人比例高，勢必成為國內社會、經濟的負擔。
世界衛生組織心理健康部門的薩撒納博士接受BBC新聞採訪時表示，至2030年，憂鬱症將成為影響健康的最大主因。民眾罹患憂鬱症，有可能因此衍生其他疾病甚至導致死亡。
薩撒納博士表示，憂鬱症是「靜默的流行病」，和愛滋病、癌症等廣泛程度不相上下。
此外，他也提醒，發展中國家的國內生產總值(GDP)與醫療預算都較低，民眾即使罹患心理疾病，也缺乏醫療資源。相較之下，窮國中罹患憂鬱症的人比富國多；同一國內，窮人罹患機率又比富人高。
未來心理疾病將成為威脅人類健康的主因，民眾對於治療心理疾病的心態也應更為開放，不需畏懼醫師的諮商協助。
相關研究報告發表於現於希臘雅典舉辦的「全球心理健康高峰會」。
