Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard for the detection of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. However, current MRI techniques provide little information about the structural features of a brain lesion with inflammatory cell infiltration, demyelination, gliosis, acute axonal damage and axonal loss. To identify methods for a differentiation of demyelination, inflammation, and axonal damage we developed a novel mouse model combining cuprizone-induced demyelination and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. MS-like brain lesions were assessed by T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and magnetization transfer MRI as well as by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). T2-weighted MRI differentiated control and diseased mice, while T1-weighted MRI better reflected the extent of inflammation and axonal damage. In DTI, axonal damage and cellular infiltration led to a reduction of the axial diffusivity, whereas primary demyelination after cuprizone treatment was reflected by changes in radial but not axial diffusivity. Importantly, alterations in radial diffusivity were less pronounced in mice with demyelination, inflammation, and acute axonal damage, indicating that radial diffusivity may underestimate demyelination in acute MS lesions. In conclusion, the combined information from different DTI parameters allows for a more precise identification of solely demyelinated lesions versus demyelinated and acutely inflamed lesions. These findings are of relevance for offering individualized, stage-adapted therapies for MS patients.
