B Cells and Antibodies as Targets of Therapeutic Intervention in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders.

The first description of neuromyelitis optica by Eugène Devic and Fernand Gault dates back to the 19th century, but only the discovery of aquaporin-4 autoantibodies in a major subset of affected patients in 2004 led to a fundamentally revised disease concept: Neuromyelits optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are now considered autoantibody-mediated autoimmune diseases, bringing the pivotal pathogenetic role of B cells and plasma cells into focus. Not long ago, there was no approved medication for this deleterious disease and off-label therapies were the only treatment options for affected patient

… This region contains both sensory and secretory circumventricular organs (CVOs) with an attenuated and dynamic blood brain barrier that confers the ability to detect peripheral signaling mediators. …

Cancer cachexia--pathophysiology and management.

About half of all cancer patients show a syndrome of cachexia, characterized by anorexia and loss of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle mass. Cachexia can have a profound impact on quality of life, symptom burden, and a patient's sense of dignity. It is a very serious complication, as weight loss during cancer treatment is associated with more chemotherapy-related side effects, fewer completed cycles of chemotherapy, and decreased survival rates. Numerous cytokines have been postulated to play a role in the etiology of cancer cachexia. Cytokines can elicit effects that mimic leptin signaling a

… They are released into the circulation and transported to the brain through the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and circumventricular organs (i.e., ‘leaky’ areas in the BBB) [ 12 – 17 ]. …

The Potential and Prospects of Marine Drugs in Intervening Nerve-Tumor Crosstalk.

The bidirectional crosstalk between the nervous system and tumors has emerged as a transformative new frontier in both precision oncotherapy and mechanism-driven cancer pain management. Marine natural products with inherent neuroactive properties exhibit unparalleled intervention advantages for targeting this complex pathophysiological axis. Herein, we systematically and prospectively dissect the multi-layered bidirectional communication between the nervous system and malignancies, comprehensively summarize the pivotal contributions of marine-derived bioactive molecules to advances in neurosci

Cytokines in CAR T Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells provide new therapeutic options for patients with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies. However, neurotoxicity is a frequent, and potentially fatal, complication. The spectrum of manifestations ranges from delirium and language dysfunction to seizures, coma, and fatal cerebral edema. This novel syndrome has been designated immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). In this review, we draw an arc from our current understanding of how systemic and potentially local cytokine release act on the CNS, toward possible preventive and

… There are putative direct pathways that affect behavior in response to infection or inflammation via vagal afferents and/or the circumventricular organs ( 162 , 200 ), although these are unlikely to result in the severe neurocognitive dysfunction that is seen in ICANS. …

Mechanisms of Chemotherapy-Induced Neurotoxicity.

Since the first clinical trials conducted after World War II, chemotherapeutic drugs have been extensively used in the clinic as the main cancer treatment either alone or as an adjuvant therapy before and after surgery. Although the use of chemotherapeutic drugs improved the survival of cancer patients, these drugs are notorious for causing many severe side effects that significantly reduce the efficacy of anti-cancer treatment and patients' quality of life. Many widely used chemotherapy drugs including platinum-based agents, taxanes, vinca alkaloids, proteasome inhibitors, and thalidomide ana

Exercise-modulated IL-6 in cancer cachexia: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential.

BACKGROUND: Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial metabolic syndrome marked by progressive skeletal muscle wasting, systemic inflammation, reduced quality of life, and poor clinical outcomes. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a central mediator in cachexia pathophysiology, driving inflammatory signaling, catabolic metabolism, and muscle atrophy. However, IL-6 also rises transiently during exercise, where it exerts beneficial metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects, highlighting the context-dependent nature of IL-6 signaling. MAIN BODY: This review summarizes current knowledge on the regulation and functio

… Circulating IL-6 primarily accesses the brain via circumventricular organs, such as the area postrema (AP), where it activates neuronal circuits involving the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) and hypothalamic nuclei (e.g., the paraventricular nucleus, PVN) [ 74 – 76 ]. …

Регулирование на основе Virobiome микробиота-гут-мозговой оси сигнализирует и нейроиммунный гомеостаз.

Ось человеческого кишечника все чаще признается как сложная двунаправленная коммуникационная система, объединяющая микробные, нейронные, эндокринные и иммунные сети, формирующие неврологическое здоровье. Хотя бактериальный вклад в этот диалог получил широкую окраску, вирусный компонент кишечной экосистемы, виром, стал важным компонентом, связанным с физиологическим регулированием принимающей стороны. В этом обзоре обобщены данные, свидетельствующие о том, что бактериофаги и эукариотические вирусы могут способствовать микробному и иммунальному гомеостазу и оказывать влияние на сигнализацию вдол
