Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) are autoimmune diseases characterized by immune-mediated damage to the central nervous system. Current treatments primarily focus on chronic immunosuppression. Immune tolerance induction offers a novel approach to restoring immune balance while minimizing systemic side effects. Central and peripheral immune tolerance mechanisms regulate autoreactive lymphocytes, ensuring immune homeostasis. Dysregulation of these pathways underpins NMOSD and MOGAD pathogenesis. Antigen-specific therapies targeting aquaporin-4 (AQP4) or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) autoantigens include peptide-based vaccines and nanoparticle delivery systems, promoting T cell anergy and regulatory T cell (Treg) expansion. Cell-based therapies utilizing ex vivo-expanded Tregs or regulatory B cells (Bregs) have shown promise in preclinical models but face challenges in clinical translation due to scalability and safety concerns. Gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9 present opportunities to modulate immune pathways and restore tolerance, although delivery and off-target effects remain obstacles. Additionally, strategies addressing double-seronegative NMOSD, which lacks detectable autoantibodies, emphasize broad immune modulation rather than antigen specificity. While significant progress has been achieved, the transition to clinical application requires overcoming hurdles such as optimizing antigen delivery, ensuring long-term efficacy, and identifying reliable biomarkers. Advances in personalized medicine hold promise for achieving sustained remission, reducing dependency on immunosuppression, and improving patient outcomes in NMOSD and MOGAD. This review explores advancements in tolerance strategies, highlighting their potential in NMOSD and MOGAD.
视神经脊髓炎谱系障碍(NMOSD)和髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白抗体相关疾病(MOGAD)是自身免疫性疾病,其特征是中枢神经系统受到免疫介导的损伤。目前的治疗主要集中在慢性免疫抑制。诱导免疫耐受提供了一种恢复免疫平衡同时将全身副作用降至最低的新方法。中枢和外周免疫耐受机制调节自身反应性淋巴细胞,确保免疫稳态。这些途径的失调是NMOSD和MOGAD发病机制的基础。针对水通道蛋白4(AQP4)或髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白(MOG)自身抗原的抗原特异性疗法包括基于肽的疫苗和纳米颗粒递送系统,可促进T细胞无反应性和调节性T细胞(Treg)扩增。利用体外扩增的Treg或调节性B细胞(Breg)的细胞疗法在临床前模型中显示出前景,但由于可扩展性和安全性问题,在临床转化中面临挑战。CRISPR/Cas9等基因编辑技术为调节免疫途径和恢复耐受性提供了机会,尽管递送和脱靶效应仍然是障碍。此外,针对缺乏可检测自身抗体的双血清阴性NMOSD的策略强调广泛的免疫调节而非抗原特异性。虽然已经取得了重大进展,但向临床应用的转变需要克服诸如优化抗原递送、确保长期疗效和识别可靠生物标志物等障碍。个性化医学的进展有望实现持续缓解、减少对免疫抑制的依赖并改善NMOSD和MOGAD患者的预后。本综述探讨了耐受策略的进展,突出了它们在NMOSD和MOGAD中的潜力。
