Frontiers | Myeloid Extracellular Vesicles: Messengers from the Demented Brain | Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology

Frontiers | Myeloid Extracellular Vesicles: Messengers from the Demented Brain | Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology | NeuroImmunology | Scoop.it

Blood-borne monocyte derived cells play a pivotal, initially unrecognized, role in most central nervous system disorders, including diseases initially classified as purely neurodegenerative (i.e. AD, PD, and ALS).

Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

Extracellular vesicles, namely exosomes and shed vesicles, are released by virtually any cell type and can be detected and identified in terms of cell origin in biological fluids. They therefore constitute an ideal tool to access information on cells residing in an inaccessible site such as the brain. We will review here available information on extracellular vesicles detection in neurological disorders with special emphasis on neurodegenerative diseases.

Differential Toxicity of Antibodies to the Prion Protein

Differential Toxicity of Antibodies to the Prion Protein | NeuroImmunology | Scoop.it

Author Summary The human prion disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), is a progressive neurodegenerative syndrome.

Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

... We report that both D13 and ICSM18 induce rapid, dose-dependent, on-target neurotoxicity. We conclude that antibodies directed to this region may not be suitable as therapeutics. No such toxicity was found when antibodies against the flexible tail of PrPCwere administered. Any attempt at immunotherapy or immunoprophylaxis of prion diseases should account for these potential untoward effects.

PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade reduces pathology and improves memory in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease

Kuti Baruch,Aleksandra Deczkowska,Neta Rosenzweig,Afroditi Tsitsou-Kampeli,Alaa Mohammad Sharif,Orit Matcovitch-Natan,Alexander Kertser,Eyal David,Ido Amit&Michal SchwartzAffiliationsContributionsCorresponding authorsNature Medicine (2016) doi:10.1038/nm.4022Received 12 October 2015 Accepted 04 December 2015 Published online 18 January 2016
Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

Systemic immune suppression may curtail the ability to mount the protective, cell-mediated immune responses that are needed for brain repair. By using mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD), we show that immune checkpoint blockade directed against the programmed death-1 (PD-1) pathway evokes an interferon (IFN)-γ–dependent systemic immune response, which is followed by the recruitment of monocyte-derived macrophages to the brain. When induced in mice with established pathology, this immunological response leads to clearance of cerebral amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and improved cognitive performance. Repeated treatment sessions were required to maintain a long-lasting beneficial effect on disease pathology. These findings suggest that immune checkpoints may be targeted therapeutically in AD.
