RESUMO

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic immuno-inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by demyelination and axonal damage. Cognitive changes are common in individuals with MS since inflammatory molecules secreted by microglia interfere with the physiological mechanisms of synaptic plasticity. According to previous data, inhibition of PDE5 promotes the accumulation of cGMP, which inhibits neuroinflammation and seems to improve synaptic plasticity and memory. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of sildenafil on the signaling pathways of neuroinflammation and synaptic plasticity in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). C57BL/6 mice were divided into three experimental groups (n = 10/group): (a) Control; (b) EAE; (c) EAE + sild (25 mg/kg/21 days). Sildenafil was able to delay the onset and attenuate the severity of the clinical symptoms of EAE. The drug also reduced the infiltration of CD4+ T lymphocytes and their respective IL-17 and TNF-α cytokines. Moreover, sildenafil reduced neuroinflammation in the hippocampus (assessed by the reduction of inflammatory markers IL-1ß, pIKBα and pNFkB and reactive gliosis, as well as elevating the inhibitory cytokines TGF-ß and IL-10). Moreover, sildenafil induced increased levels of NeuN, BDNF and pCREB, protein kinases (PKA, PKG, and pERK) and synaptophysin, and modulated the expression of the glutamate receptors AMPA and NMDA. The present findings demonstrated that sildenafil has therapeutic potential for cognitive deficit associated with multiple sclerosis.
