Background  Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterized as a low platelet count resulting from immune-mediated platelet destruction. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is widely applied for the treatment of several autoimmune diseases with immunosuppressive effect. However, whether it ameliorates ITP is unclear. This study aims to evaluate whether DMF has a preventive effect on ITP in mice.    Methods  DMF (30, 60 or 90 mg/kg body weight) was intraperitoneally injected into mice followed by injection of rat anti-mouse integrin GPIIb/CD41antibody to induce ITP. Peripheral blood was isolated to measure platelet count and spleen mononuclear cells were extracted to measure Th1 and Treg cells along with detecting the levels of IFN-γ, and TGFβ-1 in plasma and CD68 expression in spleen by immuohistochemical staining. Additionally, macrophage cell line RAW264.7 was cultured and treated with DMF followed by analysis of cell apoptosis and cycle, and the expression of FcγRI, FcγRIIb and FcγRIV mRNA.    Results  DMF significantly inhibited antiplatelet antibody-induced platelet destruction, decreased Th1 cells and the expression of T-bet and IFN-γ, upregulated Treg cells and the expression of Foxp3 and TGF-β1 as well as reduced CD68 expression in the spleen of ITP mouse. DMF-treated RAW264.7 cells showed S-phase arrest, increased apoptosis and downregulated expression of FcγRI and FcγRIV. Meanwhile, in vitro treatment of DMF also decreased the expression of cyclin D1 and E2, reduced Bcl-2 level and increased Bax expression and caspase-3 activation.    Conclusions  In conclusion, DMF prevents antibody-mediated platelet destruction in ITP mice possibly through promoting apoptosis, indicating that it might be used as a new approach for the treatment of ITP.
