Abstract :Objective: Multiple sclerosis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MS); is a chronic, inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease characterized with demyelination and axonal damage in central nervous system insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CNS);. Inflamasomes, which are important part of this inflammatory process, regulate maturation of proinflammatory cytokines. Infamazom complexes are thought to increase in MS attacks. We investigated role of inflammasome complexes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(nod-like receptor protein 1 and 3); in serum and cerebrospinal fluid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CSF); levels for MS development. Methods: Eighteen clinically isolated syndrome insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CIS);, 19 relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RRMS); and 20 healthy control cases were included in the study. Nod-like receptor protein 1 and 3 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NLRP1, NLRP3);, inflammasome complex levels and oligoclonal band insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OCB); patterns of all the groups were measured in serum and CSF samples using Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ELISA); method. Results: Although NLRP1 and NLRP3 levels in both RRMS and CIS patients measured in serum and CSF were significantly higher than healthy control group, there was no statistically significant difference between RRMS and CIS patients. On the other hand, the levels of NLRP1 and NLRP3 in CSF were significantly higher in OCB pattern positive patients compared to the OCB pattern negative patients. Conclusion: In this pilot study, it is shown that NLRP1 and NLRP3 inflammasome complexes increased in CSF samples of MS cases and that this tendency occurred during or maybe before the first MS attack. As a result, it was thought that these complexes may have an effect on the formation of the OCB band.
