Abstract

The present specification provides RXR agonists with both remyelination promotion and immunomodulatory activities, compositions comprising such RXR agonists, and methods using such compounds and compositions to treat a demyelination-related disorder by both promoting remyelination of neurons and modulating the immune system.

Claims (25)

1. A method of generating T regulatory cells (Treg) in vitro comprising culturing lymphocytes in the presence of an RXR agonist, wherein the RXR agonist is a compound having the structure of formula XXIX:

and

wherein the concentration of formula XXIX is at least 0.1 nM.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of formula XXIX.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the lymphocytes are CD4+ lymphocytes.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the lymphocytes are peripheral blood lymphocytes.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the lymphocytes are obtained from leukapheresis.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises culturing the lymphocytes cells in the presence of interleukin-2 (IL-2).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method increases the number of differentiated Treg cells in the culture.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the differentiated Treg express FoxP3.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method produces Treg cells with increased immunosuppressive activity.

10. A method of treating a demyelination-associated disorder comprising administering to a subject in need thereof Treg cells produced by the method of claim 1 .

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the demyelination-associated disorder is multiple sclerosis.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the demyelination-associated disorder is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the Treg are produced from lymphocytes isolated from the subject to be treated.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein as a result of the administration of Treg, a Treg/T17 imbalance is corrected in the subject.

15. A method of growing oligodendrocytes or oligodendrocyte precursor cells in vitro comprising culturing oligodendrocytes or oligodendrocyte precursor cells in the presence of an RXR agonist, wherein the RXR agonist is a compound having the structure of formula XXIX:

and

wherein the concentration of formula XXIX is at least 0.1 nM.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of formula XXIX.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the cells are oligodendrocyte precursor cells.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the cells are oligodendrocytes.

19. A method for treating a demyelination-associated disorder, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof oligodendrocytes or oligodendrocyte precursor cells grown by the method of claim 15 .

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the oligodendrocytes or oligodendrocyte precursor cells are isolated from the subject to be treated.

21. The method of claim 19 , wherein administering oligodendrocytes or oligodendrocyte precursor cells to a subject in need thereof results in remyelination of demyelinated neurons.
