Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the dysregulation of B-cells, which are responsible for antibody production against pathogens, and T-cells, which play a crucial role in cell-mediated immunity, including both helper and cytotoxic T-cells. These disorders frequently present with abnormal responses from both B- and T-cells, which can have a significant impact on cardiovascular health, particularly among the female patients. Key mechanisms contributing to these diseases include the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome impaired efferocytosis is the process by which phagocytes clear apoptotic cells to maintain immune and developmental balance. Defects in this process can lead to inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. The gut microbiota helps defend against pathogens and signals immune cells, playing a vital role in human health and is involved in many aspects of the body. Novel therapeutic strategies such as nanomedicine and targeted treatments are being developed to restore immune balance. The significance of thymic homeostasis the influence of viral infections and the presence of tertiary lymphoid structures highlight the need for multidisciplinary approaches in the management of these conditions. A case study of a 9-year-old girl diagnosed with seronegative autoimmune encephalitis, who displayed severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and aggressive behavior, exemplifies the complexities involved in treatment. Promising interventions, including CAR-T-cell therapy and nanomedicine, are under development for various autoimmune diseases, such as vitiligo and refractory autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs). Furthermore, emerging therapies, including CAR-T-cell therapy, mRNA-based strategies, and microbiome modulation, are being explored alongside advancements in personalized medicine and early diagnostic techniques to improve patient outcomes for individuals affected by autoimmune diseases.
自身免疫性疾病的特征是B细胞和T细胞调节异常。B细胞负责产生针对病原体的抗体,T细胞在细胞介导的免疫中起关键作用,包括辅助性T细胞和细胞毒性T细胞。这些疾病通常表现为B细胞和T细胞的异常反应,这可能对心血管健康产生重大影响,尤其是在女性患者中。导致这些疾病的关键机制包括NLRP3炎性小体的激活。吞噬细胞清除凋亡细胞以维持免疫和发育平衡的过程称为胞葬作用受损。这一过程中的缺陷可导致炎症和自身免疫性疾病。肠道微生物群有助于抵御病原体并向免疫细胞发出信号,在人类健康中起着至关重要的作用,并参与身体的许多方面。正在开发纳米医学和靶向治疗等新型治疗策略以恢复免疫平衡。胸腺稳态的重要性、病毒感染的影响以及三级淋巴结构的存在凸显了在这些疾病管理中采用多学科方法的必要性。一名9岁女孩被诊断为血清阴性自身免疫性脑炎,表现出严重的强迫症(OCD)和攻击性行为,该病例研究体现了治疗中涉及的复杂性。针对各种自身免疫性疾病,如白癜风和难治性自身免疫性风湿病(ARDs),正在开发包括嵌合抗原受体T细胞(CAR-T)疗法和纳米医学在内的有前景的干预措施。此外,随着个性化医学和早期诊断技术的进步,正在探索包括CAR-T细胞疗法、基于信使核糖核酸(mRNA)的策略和微生物群调节在内的新兴疗法,以改善自身免疫性疾病患者的预后。
