    Abstract Autoreactive CD4+ T cells, which target antigens in central nervous system (CNS) myelin, are widely believed to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) in concert with other immune effectors. This theory is supported by data from animal model experiments, genome-wide association studies, and immune profiles of individuals with MS. Furthermore, disease modifying agents that target lymphocytes significantly reduce the rate of MS clinical exacerbations. However, the properties of myelin-reactive CD4+ T cells that are critical for their pathogenic activities are not understood completely. This article reviews the literature on encephalitogenic CD4+ T cells, with an emphasis on T-helper (Th) lineage and cytokine production. An increased understanding of the spectrum of encephalitogenic T cells and how they differ from protective subsets is necessary for the development of the next generation of more effective and safer immunomodulatory therapies customized for individuals with MS and related disorders.

    Abstract The respiratory tract is home to a diverse microbial community whose influence on local and systemic immune responses is only beginning to be appreciated. The airways have been linked with the trafficking of myelin-specific T-cells in the preclinical stages of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS). Th17 cells are important pathogenic effectors in MS and EAE but are innocuous immediately following differentiation. Upregulation of the cytokine GM-CSF appears to be a critical step in their acquisition of pathogenic potential, but little is known about the mechanisms that mediate this process. Here, primed myelin-specific Th17 cells were transferred to congenic recipient mice prior to exposure to various human respiratory tract-associated bacteria and T-cell trafficking, phenotype and the severity of resulting EAE were monitored. Disease was exacerbated in mice exposed to the Proteobacteria Moraxella catarrhalis and Klebsiella pneumoniae, but not the Firmicute Veillonella parvula, and this was associated with significantly increased GM-CSF

    Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is most likely to adopt a progressive clinical course during middle age or beyond, and the number of older adults with MS is steadily increasing. Developing new strategies to manage progressive forms of MS, which do not respond to currently available disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), will require a deeper understanding of the mechanisms by which biological aging interacts with pathogenic pathways to propel disability accumulation. In experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a widely used preclinical mouse model of MS, middle-aged animals experience a more severe and protracted clinical course than their younger counterparts. This exacerbated disease course is accompanied by persistent neuroinflammation. Clinical studies of age-related biomarkers, such as telomere length, senescence markers, and DNA methylation, suggest that biological aging is accelerated in people with MS compared with age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Furthermore, distinguishing biological age from chronological may afford more precision in determining aging effects in MS. Here we review the current literature on aging biology and its impact on MS pathogenesis. Future research on this topic may lead to the development of novel biomarkers and senotherapy agents that slow neurological decline in people with progressive MS by targeting relevant aging-related pathways.

    Abstract Purpose of review: This review discusses concepts for diagnosing neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), distinguishing NMOSD from other inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, and highlights recent and forthcoming data on acute and maintenance therapy of NMOSD.
    Recent findings: The neurologic manifestations of NMOSD are heterogenous, extending beyond classic presentations of optic neuritis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis. NMOSD may be comorbid with rheumatologic diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, but is recognized as a distinct entity. Recent studies of acute treatment of NMOSD support early use of plasmapheresis. Relapse prevention is essential, as relapses can be disabling and patients may have only partial recovery. Current practice generally recommends at least 5 years of maintenance treatment. Recent randomized data demonstrates superiority of rituximab over azathioprine. Phase 3 trials have recently been completed or are underway studying novel therapies employing B-cell depletion, complement inhibition, and cell-based mechanisms (among other mechanisms) for maintenance therapy of NMOSD.
    Summary: NMOSD is a heterogeneous but well-defined clinical entity, distinct from other neurologic and systemic inflammatory diseases, and treatment is poised for expansion.

    Abstract Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), induced by the adoptive transfer of Th17 cells, typically presents with ascending paralysis and inflammatory demyelination of the spinal cord. Brain white matter is relatively spared. Here we show that treatment of Th17 transfer recipients with a highly selective inhibitor to the TAM family of tyrosine kinase receptors results in ataxia associated with a shift of the inflammatory infiltrate to the hindbrain parenchyma. During homeostasis and preclinical EAE, hindbrain microglia express high levels of the TAM receptor Mer. Our data suggest that constitutive TAM receptor signaling in hindbrain microglia confers region-specific protection against Th17 mediated EAE.
