To describe different clinical characteristics and prognosis of optic neuritis (ON) in male patients with seropositive aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4-Ab) or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (MOG-Ab) in China.
Males with ON were recruited from the Neuro-ophthalmology Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, General Hospital from January 2016 to February 2018. They were assigned to two groups based on antibodies status: MOG-Ab-seropositive ON (MOG-ON) and aquaporin-4 Ab-seropositive ON (AQP4-ON).
Seventy-six male patients were assessed, including 44 MOG-ON (57.9%) and 32 AQP4-ON (42.1%). The MOG-ON patients were significantly younger at onset compared to the AQP4-ON group ( < 0.001). Frequencies of optic disc swelling, presence of abnormal autoimmune antibodies, and elevated levels of CSF IgG were significantly higher in the AQP4-ON group than the MOG-ON group (=0.040, =0.016, and =0.10, respectively). At the final visit, 85.3% of MOG-ON eyes had increased visual acuity (≥0.5) compared to 35.1% of AQP4-ON eyes ( < 0.001). The ratio of this steroid-dependent condition is higher in MOG-ON patients than the AQP4-ON group ( < 0.001). The ratio of conversion to NMO is higher in the AQP4-ON group than the MOG-ON group, with more AQP4-ON patients developing NMO by the follow-up (=0.012). MOG-ON patients had thicker average peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layers and macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform than AQP4-ON patients (=0.008 and =0.012, respectively). Orbital MRI revealed more AQP4-ON patients had chiasmal involvement than MOG-ON patients ( < 0.001).
Male MOG-ON patients had different clinical features including earlier age of onset, higher optic disc swelling ratio, better visual acuity recovery, thicker peripapillary retinal nerve fiber and macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layers, and less chiasmal involvement than male AQP4-ON patients. Serum antibody may be a potential biomarker for determining visual prognosis in male ON.
描述中国血清学阳性水通道蛋白4抗体(AQP4-Ab)或髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白抗体(MOG-Ab)男性视神经炎(ON)患者的不同临床特征及预后。
选取2016年1月至2018年2月在中国人民解放军总医院神经眼科就诊的男性ON患者。根据抗体状态将他们分为两组:MOG-Ab血清学阳性ON(MOG-ON)组和水通道蛋白4抗体血清学阳性ON(AQP4-ON)组。
共评估76例男性患者,其中MOG-ON组44例(57.9%),AQP4-ON组32例(42.1%)。MOG-ON组患者发病时年龄显著低于AQP4-ON组(<0.001)。AQP4-ON组视盘肿胀、异常自身免疫抗体存在及脑脊液IgG水平升高的频率显著高于MOG-ON组(分别为=0.040、=0.016和=0.10)。末次随访时,MOG-ON组85.3%的患眼视力提高(≥0.5),而AQP4-ON组为35.1%(<0.001)。MOG-ON组患者激素依赖情况的比例高于AQP4-ON组(<0.001)。AQP4-ON组转化为视神经脊髓炎(NMO)的比例高于MOG-ON组,随访中有更多AQP4-ON患者发展为NMO(=0.012)。MOG-ON组患者视乳头周围视网膜神经纤维层和黄斑神经节细胞-内丛状层的平均厚度大于AQP4-ON组(分别为=0.008和=0.012)。眼眶MRI显示,AQP4-ON组累及视交叉的患者多于MOG-ON组(<0.001)。
男性MOG-ON患者具有不同的临床特征,包括发病年龄较早、视盘肿胀比例较高、视力恢复较好、视乳头周围视网膜神经纤维层和黄斑神经节细胞-内丛状层较厚以及视交叉受累较少。血清抗体可能是男性ON患者视觉预后的潜在生物标志物。
