    Abstract Autophagy comprises a growing range of cellular pathways, which occupy central roles in response to energy deprivation, organelle turnover and proteostasis. Over the years, autophagy has been increasingly linked to governing several aspects of immunity, including host defence against various pathogens, unconventional secretion of cytokines and antigen presentation. While canonical autophagy-mediated antigen processing in thymic epithelial cells supports the generation of a self-tolerant CD4

    Abstract The therapeutic success and widespread approval of genetically engineered T cells for a variety of hematologic malignancies spurred the development of synthetic cell-based immunotherapies for CNS lymphoma, primary brain tumors, and a growing spectrum of nononcologic disease conditions of the nervous system. Chimeric antigen receptor effector T cells bear the potential to deplete target cells with higher efficacy, better tissue penetration, and greater depth than antibody-based cell depletion therapies. In multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune disorders, engineered T-cell therapies are being designed and currently tested in clinical trials for their safety and efficacy to eliminate pathogenic B-lineage cells. Chimeric autoantibody receptor T cells expressing a disease-relevant autoantigen as cell surface domains are designed to selectively deplete autoreactive B cells. Alternative to cell depletion, synthetic antigen-specific regulatory T cells can be engineered to locally restrain inflammation, support immune tolerance, or efficiently deliver neuroprotective factors in brain diseases in which current therapeutic options are very limited. In this article, we illustrate prospects and bottlenecks for the clinical development and implementation of engineered cellular immunotherapies in neurologic diseases.

    Abstract Development of disease-modifying therapies including monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based therapeutics for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) has been extremely successful over the past decades. Most of the mAb-based therapies approved for MS deplete immune cell subsets and act through activation of cellular Fc-gamma receptors expressed by cytotoxic lymphocytes and phagocytes, resulting in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity or by initiation of complement-mediated cytotoxicity. The therapeutic goal is to eliminate pathogenic immune cell components and to potentially foster the reconstitution of a new and healthy immune system. Ab-mediated immune cell depletion therapies include the CD52-targeting mAb alemtuzumab, CD20-specific therapeutics, and new Ab-based treatments which are currently being developed and tested in clinical trials. Here, we review recent developments in effector mechanisms and clinical applications of Ab-based cell depletion therapies, compare their immunological and clinical effects with the prototypic immune reconstitution treatment strategy, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and discuss their potential to restore immunological tolerance and to achieve durable remission in people with MS.

    Abstract Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-type lectins (SIGLECs) are membrane receptors that are preferentially expressed on immune cells and recognize sialylated proteins, lipids, and RNA. Sialic acids and signaling through SIGLECs are increasingly recognized for their essential roles in immune system homeostasis as well as nervous system development, plasticity, and repair. Dysregulated sialylation and SIGLEC dysfunctions contribute to several chronic diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) in which current therapeutic options are very limited. While only a few therapies targeting SIGLECs are currently being tested in clinical trials, the area emerged as one of the most dynamic and active fields in glycobiology and drug development. This review highlights recent insights into sialic acid and SIGLEC function in CNS pathologies and illustrates opportunities and challenges for the development of sialic acid-based and SIGLEC-targeted therapies for neurological diseases.

    Abstract The CNS accommodates a diverse myeloid immune cell compartment that maintains CNS homeostasis in the steady state while contributing to tissue injury during infectious, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative disease conditions. Autophagy and autophagy proteins play fundamental roles in myeloid cell-related immune functions. Many of these processes do not necessarily involve the canonical formation of a double-membrane structure known as the 'autophagosome' and reflect noncanonical functions of the autophagy machinery. Here, we illustrate recent insights, concepts, and outstanding questions regarding how autophagy pathways in myeloid cells contribute to brain health and disease.

    Abstract Antibody-based therapeutics are now standard in the treatment of neuroinflammatory diseases, and the spectrum of neurological diseases targeted by those approaches continues to grow. The efficacy of antibody-based drug platforms is largely determined by the specificity-conferring antigen-binding fragment (Fab) and the crystallizable fragment (Fc) driving antibody function. The latter provides specific instructions to the immune system by interacting with cellular Fc receptors and complement components. Extensive engineering efforts have enabled tuning of Fc functions to modulate effector functions and to prolong or reduce antibody serum half-lives. Technologies that improve bioavailability of antibody-based treatment platforms within the CNS parenchyma are being developed and could invigorate drug discovery for a number of brain diseases for which current therapeutic options are limited. These powerful approaches are currently being tested in clinical trials or have been successfully translated into the clinic. Here, we review recent developments in the design and implementation of antibody-based treatment modalities in neurological diseases.

    Abstract Autoantibodies are increasingly recognized for their pathogenic potential in a growing number of neurological diseases. While myasthenia gravis represents the prototypic antibody (Ab)-mediated neurological disease, many more disorders characterized by Abs targeting neuronal or glial antigens have been identified over the past two decades. Depletion of humoral immune components including immunoglobulin G (IgG) through plasma exchange or immunoadsorption is a successful therapeutic strategy in most of these disease conditions. The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), primarily expressed by endothelial and myeloid cells, facilitates IgG recycling and extends the half-life of IgG molecules. FcRn blockade prevents binding of endogenous IgG to FcRn, which forces these antibodies into lysosomal degradation, leading to IgG depletion. Enhancing the degradation of endogenous IgG by FcRn-targeted therapies proved to be a powerful therapeutic approach in patients with generalized MG and is currently being tested in clinical trials for several other neurological diseases including autoimmune encephalopathies, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, and inflammatory neuropathies. This review illustrates mechanisms of FcRn-targeted therapies and appraises their potential to treat neurological diseases.
