To evaluate the potential of serum neurofilament light (sNfL) and serum glial fibrillary acidic protein (sGFAP) as disease biomarkers in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) with aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4-ab) or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). Patients with AQP4-ab-positive NMOSD ( = 51), MOGAD ( = 42), and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) ( = 31 for sNfL and = 22 for sGFAP testing), as well as healthy controls (HCs) ( = 28), were enrolled prospectively. We assessed sNfL and sGFAP levels using ultrasensitive single-molecule array assays. Correlations of sNfL and sGFAP levels with clinical parameters were further examined in AQP4-ab-positive NMOSD and MOGAD patients. sNfL levels were significantly higher in patients with AQP4-ab-positive NMOSD (median 17.6 pg/mL), MOGAD (27.2 pg/mL), and RRMS (24.5 pg/mL) than in HCs (7.4 pg/mL, all < 0.001). sGFAP levels were remarkably increased in patients with AQP4-ab-positive NMOSD (274.1 pg/mL) and MOGAD (136.7 pg/mL) than in HCs (61.4 pg/mL, both < 0.001). Besides, sGFAP levels were also significantly higher in patients with AQP4-ab-positive NMOSD compared to those in RRMS patients (66.5 pg/mL, < 0.001). The sGFAP/sNfL ratio exhibited good discrimination among the three disease groups. sNfL levels increased during relapse in patients with MOGAD ( = 0.049) and RRMS ( < 0.001), while sGFAP levels increased during relapse in all three of the disease groups (all < 0.05). Both sNfL and sGFAP concentrations correlated positively with Expanded Disability Status Scale scores in AQP4-ab-positive NMOSD (β = 1.88, = 0.018 and β = 2.04, = 0.032) and MOGAD patients (β = 1.98, = 0.013 and β = 1.52, = 0.008). sNfL and sGFAP levels are associated with disease severity in AQP4-ab-positive NMOSD and MOGAD patients, and the sGFAP/sNfL ratio may reflect distinct disease pathogenesis.
评估血清神经丝轻链（sNfL）和血清神经胶质纤维酸性蛋白（sGFAP）作为水通道蛋白-4 抗体（AQP4-ab）或髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白抗体相关性疾病（MOGAD）相关视神经脊髓炎谱系疾病（NMOSD）的疾病生物标志物的潜力。前瞻性纳入 AQP4-ab 阳性 NMOSD（=51）、MOGAD（=42）和复发缓解型多发性硬化症（RRMS）（sNfL 检测=31，sGFAP 检测=22）患者以及健康对照者（HCs）（sNfL 检测=28，sGFAP 检测=22）。我们使用超敏单分子阵列检测评估 sNfL 和 sGFAP 水平。进一步在 AQP4-ab 阳性 NMOSD 和 MOGAD 患者中检查 sNfL 和 sGFAP 水平与临床参数的相关性。与 HCs（7.4pg/ml，均<0.001）相比，AQP4-ab 阳性 NMOSD（中位数 17.6pg/ml）、MOGAD（27.2pg/ml）和 RRMS（24.5pg/ml）患者的 sNfL 水平显著升高。与 HCs（61.4pg/ml，均<0.001）相比，AQP4-ab 阳性 NMOSD 和 MOGAD 患者的 sGFAP 水平明显升高。此外，与 RRMS 患者相比，AQP4-ab 阳性 NMOSD 患者的 sGFAP 水平也显著升高（66.5pg/ml，<0.001）。sGFAP/sNfL 比值在三组疾病中具有良好的鉴别能力。MOGAD（=0.049）和 RRMS（<0.001）患者在疾病复发期间 sNfL 水平升高，而三组疾病患者在疾病复发期间 sGFAP 水平均升高（均<0.05）。AQP4-ab 阳性 NMOSD（β=1.88，=0.018 和β=2.04，=0.032）和 MOGAD 患者的 sNfL 和 sGFAP 浓度与扩展残疾状态量表评分呈正相关。（β=1.98，=0.013 和β=1.52，=0.008）。sNfL 和 sGFAP 水平与 AQP4-ab 阳性 NMOSD 和 MOGAD 患者的疾病严重程度相关，sGFAP/sNfL 比值可能反映不同的疾病发病机制。
