HGF and demyelinating disease: [6], [7] HGF also exerts anti-inflammatory effects through T cell bystander deviation and inhibition of antigen-presenting cell (APC) function. [8], [9] In animal models of demyelinating diseases, HGF was recently shown to confer protective immunoregulation, and to promote myelin repair in the absence of modulation of the immune system. [3], [4] Likewise, data from MS patient suggest that HGF may also potentially contribute to stimulation for remyelination [10].
