Background: Although contactin-1 and contactin-2 are known as two proteins involved in axonal regeneration, it is unclear whether these proteins are induced by exercise in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS).
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the serum levels of contactin-1 and contactin-2 in PwMS and to investigate the change of these markers with exercise.
Methods: A total of 60 participants with relapsing-remitting MS were divided into groups by stratified randomization. The progressive functional exercise was applied to the intervention group. Participants in the control group continued the treatments and lives of the routines. Participants' contactin-1 and contactin-2, cognitive performance and aerobic capacities were evaluated.
Results: The comparison of the pre-and post-study values of contactin-1 and contactin-2 showed significant differences only in the intervention group. The contactin-1 and contactin-2 values were similar between the groups before the exercise, whereas a significant difference was found in favor of the intervention group after the exercise. Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test-3 value increased significantly only in the intervention group.
Conclusion: With this study, it was shown for the first time that contactin-1 and contactin-2, which play an important role in axonal regeneration and axonal organization, can be increased by exercise.

Objective: Antibodies against nodal-paranodal junction proteins have been detected in some patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), which is a crucial step to define the most effective treatment strategies. In this paper, we tested the positive rates of these antibodies in CIDP and characterized the clinical and electrophysiological features of the antibodies-positive patients.
Methods: We prospectively recruited 47 patients with CIDP.

Demyelinating pathologies comprise of a variety of conditions where either central or peripheral myelin is attacked, resulting in white matter lesions and neurodegeneration. Myelinated axons are organized into molecularly distinct domains, and this segregation is crucial for their proper function. These defined domains are differentially affected at the different stages of demyelination as well as at the lesion and perilesion sites.

Synaptic degeneration is an early phenomenon in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis. We aimed to investigate whether levels of synaptic proteins contactin-1 and contactin-2 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of PD patients are reduced compared to dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) patients and controls and to evaluate their relationship with α-synuclein aggregation. Contactin-1 and -2 were measured in CSF from PD patients ( 58), DLB patients ( 72) and age-matched controls ( 90).

Background: Contactin-1 and contactin-2 are important for the maintenance of axonal integrity.
Objective: To investigate the cerebrospinal fluid levels of contactin-1 and contactin-2 in multiple sclerosis patients and controls, and their potential use as prognostic markers for neurodegeneration.
Methods: Cerebrospinal fluid contactin-1 and contactin-2 were measured in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (41), secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (26) and primary progressive multiple sclerosis patients (13) and controls (18), and in a second cohort with clinically isolated syndrome patients (88, median clinical follow-up period of 2.
