Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) has been proposed as treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) and other autoimmune diseases.
To describe the effects of allo-HCT on the course of MS in a 49-year-old woman with longstanding progressive MS who was treated with allo-HCT for follicular lymphoma.
Non-myeloablative conditioning allo-HCT, examination for IgG oligoclonal bands and measurement of CXCL13 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Despite the disappearance of oligoclonal bands in CSF, disease progression and CSF inflammation was observed.
We hypothesize that CXCL13 and MMP-9 detected in CSF may reflect ongoing, pathogenic immune activation even after the eradication of intrathecal IgG synthesis. This suggests that progressive MS may depend more on innate than on adaptive immune activation.
异基因造血细胞移植(allo-HCT)已被提议用于治疗多发性硬化症(MS)和其他自身免疫性疾病。
描述异基因造血细胞移植对一名49岁患有长期进展性MS的女性的病程影响,该女性因滤泡性淋巴瘤接受了异基因造血细胞移植治疗。
非清髓性预处理异基因造血细胞移植、检测脑脊液中IgG寡克隆带以及测量脑脊液中CXCL13和基质金属蛋白酶-9(MMP-9)的浓度。
尽管脑脊液中寡克隆带消失,但仍观察到疾病进展和脑脊液炎症。
我们推测,即使鞘内IgG合成被消除,脑脊液中检测到的CXCL13和MMP-9可能反映持续的致病性免疫激活。这表明进展性MS可能更多地依赖先天性免疫激活而非适应性免疫激活。
