Abstract
BACKGROUND Females are considered to have an increased susceptibility to neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) than males, especially aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody positive NMOSD, indicating that sex hormones may be involved in the NMOSD pathogenesis. However, the causality between sex hormones and NMOSD still remains unclear. METHODS Based on the genome-wide association study (GWAS) data of three sex hormones (estradiol (E2), progesterone (PROG) and bioavailable testosterone (BAT)), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), age of menarche, age of menopause, and NMOSD (total, AQP4 + and AQP4 -), we performed a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) study. Sex-stratified GWAS data of E2, PROG, BAT, and SHBG was obtained for gender-specific MR analysis. Causal inferences were based on the inverse variance weighted method, MR-Egger regression, and weighted median method. The reverse MR analysis was also performed to assess the impact of NMOSD on hormone levels. RESULTS PROG in females had aggravative effects on NMOSD (P < 0.001), especially AQP4 - NMOSD (P < 0.001). In the reverse MR analysis, total NMOSD was found to decrease the level of BAT (P < 0.001) and increase the level of SHBG (P = 0.001) in females. CONCLUSION Findings of this MR analysis revealed mutual causal associations between sex hormones and NMOSD, which provided novel perspectives about the gender-related pathogenesis of NMOSD.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder: pathophysiological approach. Int J Neurosci 2024; 134:826-838. [PMID: 36453541 DOI: 10.1080/00207454.2022.2153046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Aim: To review the main pathological findings of Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) associated with the presence of autoantibodies to aquaporin-4 (AQP4) as well as the mechanisms of astrocyte dysfunction and demyelination. Methods: An comprehensive search of the literature in the field was carried out using the database of The National Center for Biotechnology Information from . Systematic searches were performed until July 2022. Results: NMOSD is an inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system mainly in the areas of the optic nerves and spinal cord, thus explaining mostly the clinical findings. Other areas affected in NMOSD are the brainstem, hypothalamus, and periventricular regions. Relapses in NMOSD are generally severe and patients only partially recover. NMOSD includes clinical conditions where autoantibodies to aquaporin-4 (AQP4-IgG) of astrocytes are detected as well as similar clinical conditions where such antibodies are not detected. AQP4 are channel-forming integral membrane proteins of which AQ4 isoforms are able to aggregate in supramolecular assemblies termed orthogonal arrays of particles (OAP) and are essential in the regulation of water homeostasis and the adequate modulation of neuronal activity and circuitry. AQP4 assembly in orthogonal arrays of particles is essential for AQP4-IgG pathogenicity since AQP4 autoantibodies bind to OAPs with higher affinity than for AQP4 tetramers. NMOSD has a complex background with prominent roles for genes encoding cytokines and cytokine receptors. AQP4 autoantibodies activate the complement-mediated inflammatory demyelination and the ensuing damage to AQP4 water channels, leading to water influx, necrosis and axonal loss. Conclusions: NMOSD as an astrocytopathy is a nosological entity different from multiple sclerosis with its own serological marker: immunoglobulin G-type autoantibodies against the AQP4 protein which elicits a complement-dependent cytotoxicity and neuroinflammation. Some patients with typical manifestations of NMSOD are AQP4 seronegative and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein positive. Thus, the detection of autoantibodies against AQP4 or other autoantibodies is crucial for the correct treatment of the disease and immunosuppressant therapy is the first choice.

Newly emerging type B insulin resistance (TBIR) during treatment with eculizumab for AQP4-IgG-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD): fatal outcome. J Neurol 2024; 271:2866-2870. [PMID: 37962590 PMCID: PMC11055762 DOI: 10.1007/s00415-023-12071-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are frequently associated with other autoimmune disorders, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Eculizumab (ECU) is a highly effective long-term treatment for NMOSD. However, ECU is known to increase significantly the risk of infection with encapsulated bacteria and sepsis. Recently, increased insulin resistance (IR) in patients with NMOSD has been suggested. Type B IR (TBIR) is a rare autoimmune condition often accompanying or preceding SLE. TBIR has not yet been reported in NMOSD. OBJECTIVE To report an ECU-treated patient with AQP4-IgG-positive NMOSD who developed fatal septic complications after the emergence of TBIR. METHODS Description of the clinical course over a period of 8 years. RESULTS A female patient was diagnosed with NMOSD at the age of 16 years. A variety of disease-modifying drugs failed to achieve sufficient disease control, resulting in severe tetraparesis. Treatment with ECU was started 6 years after NMOSD diagnosis and stabilized the disease. The patient developed TBIR 8 months after initiation of ECU therapy. Following high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone therapy for a clinical relapse and three further courses of ECU, the patient was admitted with severe pneumonia caused by the encapsulated bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae and hypoglycemia. Despite multimodal therapy, the patient died from sepsis-related multiorgan failure 18 months after initiation of ECU. CONCLUSIONS TBIR should be considered as differential diagnosis in patients with NMOSD presenting with disturbed glucose metabolism, irrespective of the presence of SLE. More real-world data are needed on the risk/benefit ratio of ECU treatment in patients who have co-existing autoimmune comorbidities that may compromise immune function. Strategies to mitigate the risk of serious infection in patients treated with ECU are discussed.

Patterns of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder attacks in different age groups and sexes depending on the status of immunosuppressive therapy: A retrospective cohort study. Eur J Neurol 2024; 31:e16178. [PMID: 38117536 PMCID: PMC11235930 DOI: 10.1111/ene.16178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association between onset age and sex with relapse risk in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) remains inconclusive. We aimed to describe the clinical features of patients with NMOSD in different age groups and sexes and to analyse relapse characteristics pre- and post-immunosuppressive therapy (IST). METHODS Patients with NMOSD were retrospectively reviewed from our clinical centre's database. Demographic and clinical data, attack presentation, and disease course pre- and post-IST were investigated. We also analysed the effect of onset age on the annualized relapse rate and relapse risk according to sex and IST status. Interactions on the additive scale between onset age and sex were analysed. A restricted cubic spline was used to analyse potential nonlinear correlations. Longitudinal changes in the Expanded Disability Status Scale score across NMOSD attacks were analysed using linear mixed-effect models. RESULTS In total, 533 patients experienced 1394 attacks pre-IST and 753 relapses post-IST. Older age at onset was correlated with more myelitis attacks but fewer optic neuritis attacks, with no sex-related differences in attack presentation. Pre-IST, relapse risk increased with age at onset in women, while a U-shaped correlation between onset age and relapse risk was found in men. Post-IST, an inverted U-shaped association between the predicted relapse risk and onset age was observed in women. Conversely, a negative correlation between the predicted relapse risk and onset age was found in men. Overall, a higher ratio of myelitis attacks was found post-IST. CONCLUSIONS Patients of different onset ages and sexes had different relapse patterns before and after IST.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the diagnostic criteria of 2006 (DC 2006) and 2015 (DC 2015) in the Russian population of patients with suspected neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), with the calculation of their sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and predictive value. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed medical records of suspected NMOSD patients who were therefore examined for the presence of serum autoantibodies targeting the aquaporin-4 water channel protein (AQP4-IgG) in 6 specialized Russian (Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow) medical centers. One hundred patients (78 female), aged 17 to 74 years (mean 38.1±13.3 years), were included. The follow-up period ranged from 4 to 108 months (mean 59.7±31.6 months). RESULTS During the follow-up the diagnosis of NMOSD was confirmed in 32 people, and 68 patients had diagnoses different from NMOSD. At the disease onset, 68.8% of patients were seropositive for AQP4-IgG. The mean time for confirming NMOSD diagnosis was 15.2±14.2 months. At the disease onset, 36% of patients fulfilled the DC 2015, the diagnosis was subsequently confirmed in 77.8% out of them. 26% of the patients fulfilled the DC 2006, the diagnosis was subsequently confirmed in 84.6% out of them. The sensitivity of DC 2006/DC 2015 was 69%/88%, specificity 94%/88%, accuracy 86%/88%, negative predictive value 85%/94%, positive predictive value 86%/78%. CONCLUSION The specificity, sensitivity and accuracy of modern diagnostic criteria for NMOSD In Russian patients is comparable to those obtained in foreign studies. DC 2015 helps to diagnose NMOSD earlier than DC 2006, but they have a lower specificity.

Abstract
Background Between 29% and 67% of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder patients have cognitive alterations. Objective To assess the frequency of cognitive impairment in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder in Mexico using the Brief International Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis. Methods We evaluated 40 neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder patients and 40 healthy controls from Mexico. Results 28 (70.0%) patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder had cognitive impairment in two or more cognitive domains. Student´s T test showed statistically poor performance by neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder patients compared to healthy controls on all three neuropsychological test scores. This significant difference was observed on the Symbols Digit Modalities Test (t = 8.875; p ≤ 0.001); California Verbal Learning Test-II memory (t = 10.418; p ≤ 0.001); and Brief Visuospatial Memory Test Revised (t = 6.123; p ≤ 0.001). Conclusions This study showed that 70% of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder patients exhibited cognitive impairment in two or more cognitive domains. Determining the frequency of cognitive impairment will guide the decision of Neuropsychologists in planning cognitive rehabilitation across various domains.

A systematic literature review to examine the considerations around pregnancy in women of child-bearing age with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) or aquaporin 4 neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4+ NMOSD). Mult Scler Relat Disord 2023; 75:104760.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aquaporin-4 antibody positive (AQP4+) neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) are rare autoimmune diseases with overlapping phenotypes. Understanding their clinical manifestation prior to, during and after pregnancy may influence the management of women of child-bearing age (WOCBA) with these diseases. METHODS This systematic review identified relevant MEDLINE-indexed publications dated between 01 January 2011 and 01 November 2021, and congress materials from key conferences between 01 January 2019 and 01 November 2021. These were manually assessed for relevance to AQP4+ NMOSD and/or MOGAD in WOCBA, with selected data extracted and considered. RESULTS In total, 107 articles were retrieved and reviewed for relevancy, including 65 clinical studies. Limited evidence was found regarding a conclusive impact of either disease on female fertility, sexual function or menarche, and impact on maternal outcomes requires further investigation in both conditions to establish risk for pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and other complications relative to the general population. Collated data for pregnancy outcomes show clear risks in AQP4+ NMOSD to healthy delivery and a rise in annualised relapse rate postpartum that may require adaptation of treatment regimens. Disease activity appears to be attenuated during pregnancy in MOGAD patients with an increased risk of relapse during the postpartum months, but strong conclusions cannot be made due to a paucity of available data. CONCLUSIONS This review brings together the literature on AQP4+ NMOSD and MOGAD in WOCBA. The potential impact of pregnancy and the postpartum period on disease activity suggest a proactive management strategy early on may improve maternal and infant outcomes, but more clinical data are needed, particularly for MOGAD.

Abstract
The term 'neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders' (NMOSD) is used as an umbrella term that refers to aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG)-positive neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and its formes frustes and to a number of closely related clinical syndromes without AQP4-IgG. NMOSD were originally considered subvariants of multiple sclerosis (MS) but are now widely recognized as disorders in their own right that are distinct from MS with regard to immunopathogenesis, clinical presentation, optimum treatment, and prognosis. In part 1 of this two-part article series, which ties in with our 2014 recommendations, the neuromyelitis optica study group (NEMOS) gives updated recommendations on the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of NMOSD. A key focus is on differentiating NMOSD from MS and from myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated encephalomyelitis (MOG-EM; also termed MOG antibody-associated disease, MOGAD), which shares significant similarity with NMOSD with regard to clinical and, partly, radiological presentation, but is a pathogenetically distinct disease. In part 2, we provide updated recommendations on the treatment of NMOSD, covering all newly approved drugs as well as established treatment options.

The Pathological Activation of Microglia Is Modulated by Sexually Dimorphic Pathways. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054739. [PMID: 36902168 PMCID: PMC10003784 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24054739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 02/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Microglia are the primary immunocompetent cells of the central nervous system (CNS). Their ability to survey, assess and respond to perturbations in their local environment is critical in their role of maintaining CNS homeostasis in health and disease. Microglia also have the capability of functioning in a heterogeneous manner depending on the nature of their local cues, as they can become activated on a spectrum from pro-inflammatory neurotoxic responses to anti-inflammatory protective responses. This review seeks to define the developmental and environmental cues that support microglial polarization towards these phenotypes, as well as discuss sexually dimorphic factors that can influence this process. Further, we describe a variety of CNS disorders including autoimmune disease, infection, and cancer that demonstrate disparities in disease severity or diagnosis rates between males and females, and posit that microglial sexual dimorphism underlies these differences. Understanding the mechanism behind differential CNS disease outcomes between men and women is crucial in the development of more effective targeted therapies.

The field of autoimmune neurology is rapidly evolving, and recent discoveries have advanced our understanding of disease aetiologies. In this article, we review the key pathogenic mechanisms underlying the development of CNS autoimmunity. First, we review non-modifiable risk factors, such as age, sex and ethnicity, as well as genetic factors such as monogenic variants, common variants in vulnerability genes and emerging HLA associations. Second, we highlight how interactions between environmental factors and epigenetics can modify disease onset and severity. Third, we review possible disease mechanisms underlying triggers that are associated with the loss of immune tolerance with consequent recognition of self-antigens; these triggers include infections, tumours and immune-checkpoint inhibitor therapies. Fourth, we outline how advances in our understanding of the anatomy of lymphatic drainage and neuroimmune interfaces are challenging long-held notions of CNS immune privilege, with direct relevance to CNS autoimmunity, and how disruption of B cell and T cell tolerance and the passage of immune cells between the peripheral and intrathecal compartments have key roles in initiating disease activity. Last, we consider novel therapeutic approaches based on our knowledge of the immunopathogenesis of autoimmune CNS disorders.

Abstract
Antibody-mediated central nervous system (CNS) disorders including those associated with aquaporin-4 or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein IgG and autoimmune encephalitis often affect women of childbearing age. Pathogenic antibodies of these diseases can potentially alter reproductive functions and influence fetal development. Hormonal changes occurring during pregnancy may modify the course of autoimmune diseases by influencing relapse risk, attack severity, and affect the delivery and postpartum period. Moreover, balancing treatment related safety issues with the risk of potentially disabling relapses during pregnancy and breastfeeding are major challenges. Intentional prenatal, gestational, and post-partum counseling is paramount to address these issues and mitigate these risks. Fortunately, new insights on risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes and possible preventive strategies are emerging. This review aims to summarize the interplay between antibody-mediated CNS disorders and pregnancy during the prenatal, gestational, and postpartum periods, highlight current treatment recommendations, and discuss future areas of research.

Should Aquaporin-4 Antibody Test Be Performed in all Patients With Isolated Optic Neuritis? J Neuroophthalmol 2022; 42:454-461.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optic neuritis (ON) may be the initial manifestation of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4 Ab) is used to diagnose NMOSD. This has implications on prognosis and is important for optimal management. We aim to evaluate if clinical features can distinguish AQP4 Ab seropositive and seronegative ON patients. METHODS We reviewed patients with first episode of isolated ON from Tan Tock Seng Hospital and Singapore National Eye Centre who tested for AQP4 Ab from 2008 to 2017. Demographic and clinical data were compared between seropositive and seronegative patients. RESULTS Among 106 patients (120 eyes) with first episode of isolated ON, 23 (26 eyes; 22%) were AQP4 Ab positive and 83 (94 eyes; 78%) were AQP4 Ab negative. At presentation, AQP4 Ab positive patients had older mean onset age (47.9 ± 13.6 vs 36.8 ± 12.6 years, P < 0.001), worse nadir VA (OR 1.714; 95% CI, 1.36 to 2.16; P < 0.001), less optic disc swelling (OR 5.04; 95% CI, 1.682 to 15.073; p = 0.004), and higher proportions of concomitant anti-Ro antibody (17% vs 4%, p = 0.038) and anti-La antibody (17% vs 1%, p = 0.008). More AQP4 Ab positive patients received steroid-sparing immunosuppressants (74% vs 19%, p < 0.001) and plasma exchange (13% vs 0%, p = 0.009). AQP4 Ab positive patients had worse mean logMAR VA (visual acuity) at 12 months (0.70 ± 0.3 vs 0.29 ± 0.5, p = 0.051) and 36 months (0.37±0.4 vs 0.14 ± 0.2, p = 0.048) follow-up. CONCLUSION Other than older onset age and retrobulbar optic neuritis, clinical features are non-discriminatory for NMOSD. We propose a low threshold for AQP4 Ab serology testing in inflammatory ON patients, particularly in high NMOSD prevalence populations, to minimize diagnostic and treatment delays.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with multiple sclerosis (MS) are more likely to develop stroke than those without. However, little is known about the association between neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and the risk of stroke. We aimed to estimate the risk of stroke in patients with MS and NMOSD in South Korea. METHODS Data from the Korean National Health Insurance between January 2010 and December 2017 were analysed. A total of 1541/1687 adult patients with MS/NMOSD, who were free of stroke were included. Matched controls were selected based on age, sex and the presence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia. RESULTS The risk of developing stroke was 2.78 times higher (adjusted HR (aHR), 95% CI 1.91 to 4.05) in patients with MS compared with controls matched by age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia. The risk of stroke in NMOSD was also higher than that in matched controls (aHR=1.69, 95% CI 1.10 to 2.61) and not statistically different from that of MS (p=0.216). The patients with MS had a higher risk for either of ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke (HR=2.63 and 2.93, respectively), whereas those with NMOSD had a higher risk for ischaemic stroke (HR=1.60) with marginal statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS The risk of stroke is increased in patients with MS and NMOSD and seemed comparable between the two conditions. This is the first study that estimates the risk of stroke in patients with MS and NMOSD within the same population.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS), Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and Myelin-Oligodendrocyte-Glycoprotein antibody associated disorder (MOGAD) are demyelinating disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) of autoimmune origin. Here, we summarize general considerations on sex-specific differences in the immunopathogenesis and hormonal influences as well as key clinical and epidemiological elements. Gender-specific issues are widely neglected starting with the lacking separation of sex as a biological variable and gender comprising the sociocultural components. As for other autoimmune diseases, female preponderance is common in MS and NMOSD. However, sex distribution in MOGAD seems equal. As in MS, immunotherapy in NMOSD and MOGAD is crucial to prevent further disease activity. Therefore, we assessed data on sex differences of the currently licensed disease-modifying treatments for efficacy and safety. This topic seems widely neglected with only fragmented information resulting from post-hoc analyses of clinical trials or real-world post-marketing studies afflicted with lacking power and/or inherent sources of bias. In summary, biological hypotheses of sex differences including genetic factors, the constitution of the immune system and hormonal influences are based upon human and preclinical data, especially for the paradigmatic disease of MS whereas specific data for NMOSD and MOGAD are widely lacking. Epidemiological and clinical differences between men and women are well described for MS and to some extent for NMOSD, yet, with remaining contradictory findings. MOGAD needs further detailed investigation. Sex-specific analyses of safety and efficacy of long-term immunotherapies need to be addressed in future studies designed and powered to answer the pressing questions and to optimize and individualize treatment.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Patients with optic neuritis (ON) have significant individual differences in their response to high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone (HIMP) therapy. This study aims to evaluate the association between gene polymorphisms and the efficacy of HIMP therapy in Chinese Han patients with ON mediated by aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G antibody (AQP4-IgG) -positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) or multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS Chinese Han patients with AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD-ON or MS-ON were genotyped for four candidate genes: ABCB1 (rs1045642, rs1128503, rs2032582), NR3C1 (rs41423247), TBX21 (rs9910408, rs16947078) and VDR (rs731236, rs1544410, rs7975232, rs2228570). Patients were divided into glucocorticoid resistance (GR) and glucocorticoid sensitivity (GS) groups based on vision acuity (VA) improvement after HIMP treatment. Intergroup comparisons were performed on clinical characteristics, allele and genotype frequencies and haplotype distributions. RESULTS A total of 267 patients completed the follow-up, including 120 patients with AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD-ON and 147 patients with MS-ON. We observed a significant association between the ABCB1 G2677T/A (rs2032582) polymorphism and glucocorticoid response in AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD-ON patients. Changes in VA scores in patients with the GG genotype were significantly lower than those in patients with the T/A T/A genotype (1.07 ± 1.20 vs. 1.77 ± 1.31, p = 0.026). In the GS group, the G allele had a lower frequency than the T/A allele (32.03% vs. 60.16%, p = 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the G2677T/A GG and G T/A genotypes could increase the GR risk 3.53 and 2.67 times compared with the T/A T/A genotype, respectively (OR = 3.534, 95% CI: 1.186-10.527, p = 0.023; OR = 2.675, 95% CI: 1.005-7.123, p = 0.049). In addition, haplotype analysis showed that AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD-ON patients with the TAT/TTT haplotype (ABCB1 C3435T-G2677T/A-C1236T) were only 0.54 times more likely to develop GR than those with other haplotypes (OR = 0.542, 95% CI: 0.315-0.932, p = 0.026). However, we did not observe intergroup differences in the MS-ON population. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the G > T/A polymorphism of ABCB1 G2677T/A and the TAT/TTT haplotype played a protective role in HIMP treatment of AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD-ON but not MS-ON.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Population-based studies estimating the incidence of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSDs) in Asia are limited, and the relationship between latitude and incidence has been scarcely investigated. We aimed to estimate the incidence of NMOSDs in Chinese adults and explore their relationship to latitude. DESIGN Cohort study based on data from the Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance in China. PARTICIPANTS 177 million people were followed from 2016 to 2017 in 20 provinces. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES The incidence rate was estimated by Poisson distribution and reported as age-adjusted and sex-adjusted rates using the standard population. RESULTS There were 1313 incident NMOSD cases, with an overall incidence of 0.41 (95% CIs: 0.39 to 0.43) per 100 000 person-years. The incidence in females was higher, with a female-to-male IRR of 4.52. The incidence increased with age, peaking at 55-64 years in females and 65-74 years in males and then decreasing thereafter. The female-to-male IRRs were higher in those <55 years. The association between latitude and incidence was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of NMOSD in Chinese adults was 0.41 per 100 000 person-years. There is no latitude gradient observed. Sex and age influence the risk of NMOSD, suggesting the role of genetic, hormonal and other related factors in the pathophysiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, no specific scales have been developed to explore the impact of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD)-related disability on quality of life (QoL). The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and the EuroQol 5-dimensions (EQ-5D) have been used to assess disability and QoL, respectively, in patients with NMOSD. However, there is limited evidence surrounding their use in this condition. We compared EDSS and EQ-5D data across two clinical trials to quantify the relationship between disability and QoL in patients with NMOSD. METHODS SAkuraSky (NCT02028884) and SAkuraStar (NCT02073279) were Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, international, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-assignment studies of satralizumab, administered in combination with baseline immunosuppressants (SAkuraSky) or as monotherapy (SAkuraStar). EDSS and EQ-5D were assessed at baseline and at 24-week intervals thereafter. The relationship between disability and QoL was assessed by estimating EQ-5D utilities (UK tariff) for each incremental EDSS category. A repeated-measures linear model was used to regress health utilities on EDSS score-derived health states. RESULTS Overall, 176 patients underwent at least one EDSS assessment and completed an EQ-5D survey and were included in this analysis. There was a clear association between mean EQ-5D score and EDSS score, with decreases in QoL being observed at each incremental increase in disability. The relationship between EDSS and EQ-5D score remained consistent across the different treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS These results, generated from high-quality clinical trial data, demonstrated a strong and consistent relationship between disability and QoL in patients with NMOSD.

Abstract
Objectives: Multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) predominantly affect women of reproductive age. During the last few decades many disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) have been approved. It is therefore important to provide epidemiological structures for the collection of safety information on exposed pregnancies. Data on disease activity after withdrawal of DMTs are in high demand especially as severe relapses have been described after ceasing highly effective DMTs. Although breastfeeding is recommended, it is still unclear if the early reintroduction, especially of highly effective DMTs, has a beneficial effect on postpartum relapse risk or a combination of both, however safety data are lacking. Methods: The German MS and Pregnancy Registry (DMSKW) is a nationwide, observational, cohort study of pregnant women with MS or NMOSD, founded in 2006. As the study procedure has undergone important adaptation in recent years, described here is the updated methodology including data source and acquisition as well as variables collected within the DMSKW. Results: As of December 2020, the DMSKW database comprises 2579 pregnancies, 2568 with MS and 11 with NMOSD. Women are enrolled at a median gestational week of 11 (range: 0.02–42.1), have a median postpartum follow up of 1.2 years (range: 0–9.2) with 76% of all pregnancies being exposed to a DMT, mostly in the first trimester. Spontaneous abortion and preterm birth occurred in 7% and 10%, respectively; 19% of all women suffered from at least one relapse during pregnancy, with a minimum of 6% during the third trimester of pregnancy. Conclusion: The DMSKW is a valuable structure in providing safety data on drug exposure during pregnancy and lactation in combination with information on disease activity up to 6 years postpartum. This article will be the reference for describing the methods of future publications from the DMSKW.

Abstract
Idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating diseases (IIDDs) of the central nervous system (CNS) are rare but serious neurological complications of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). However, the risk factors and a method to predict the prognosis of post-transplantation CNS IIDDs are not available. This retrospective study first reviewed data from 4532 patients who received haplo-HSCT during 2008-2019 in our center, and 184 patients (4.1%) with IIDDs after haplo-HSCT were identified. Grades II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) (p < 0.001) and chronic GVHD (cGVHD) (p = 0.009) were identified as risk factors for developing IIDDs after haplo-HSCT. We then divided the 184 IIDD patients into a derivation cohort and validation cohort due to transplantation time to develop and validate a model for predicting the prognosis of IIDDs. In the multivariate analysis of the derivation cohort, four candidate predictors were entered into the final prognostic model: cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, IgG synthesis (IgG-syn) and spinal cord lesions. The prognostic model had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.864 (95% CI: 0.803-0.925) in the internal validation cohort and 0.871 (95% CI: 0.806-0.931) in the external validation cohort. The calibration plots showed a high agreement between the predicted and observed outcomes. Decision curve analysis indicated that IIDD patients could benefit from the clinical application of the prognostic model. The identification of IIDD patients after allo-HSCT who have a poor prognosis might allow timely treatment and improve patient survival and outcomes.

Physical, Emotional, Medical, and Socioeconomic Status of Patients With NMOSD: A Cross-Sectional Survey of 123 Cases From a Single Center in North China. Front Neurol 2021; 12:737564. [PMID: 34566879 PMCID: PMC8455822 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.737564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to assess the physical, emotional, medical, and socioeconomic conditions of patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in North China. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of patients with NMOSD was performed, based on an established questionnaire from the Multiple Sclerosis Patient Survival Report 2018. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to define the significant determinants of certain physical or emotional characteristics of patients. A total of 123 patients were included. Results: A total of 63.4% of participants were initially diagnosed with conditions other than NMOSD, with a median delay of 6 months for accurate diagnosis. An aggregate of 72.2% of patients had one or more relapses, corresponding to an annual relapse rate of 0.8. Paresthesia was the most frequent physical symptom among patients both at disease onset (53.7%) and throughout the duration of the disease (86.2%). Onset in elderly (>50 years) patients was associated with an annual Expanded Disability Status Scale increase ≥1, compared with onset in younger (<30 years) patients (P = 0.001, OR = 7.83). A total of 76.4% of patients had received attack-prevention treatments in the remission phase, and 31.7 and 10.6% of patients had ever been administered rituximab and traditional Chinese medicine, respectively. Additionally, 63.4 and 43.1% of patients reported participating in few or no social activities and being out of work because of the disease. To be noted, 76.4% of patients reported suffering from negative emotions, with the most frequent being worry (60.2%), with 20.3% of patients experiencing suicidal thoughts. The inability to work and participating in few or no social activities due to NMOSD were two determinants of experiencing negative emotions (Pwork = 0.03, ORwork = 3.34; Psocialactivities = 0.02, ORsocialactivities = 3.19). Conclusion: This study reported patient perspectives on NMOSD in North China, whereby demonstrating that the inability to work and participating in few or no social activities due to NMOSD rather than the physical impairment caused by the disease, was directly associated with patients experiencing negative emotions. This insight offers potential ways to manage patients' negative emotions by enhancing family and social support and facilitating active employment.

Yan H, Guo R, Chen W, Xi X, Wang L, Ma J, Li B. Associations of IRAK1 Gene Polymorphisms and mRNA Expression With NMOSD Risk in the Northern Chinese Han Population. Front Neurol 2021; 12:661791. [PMID: 34531808 PMCID: PMC8438328 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.661791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2021] [Accepted: 06/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: Interleukin (IL)-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) is a very important immunomodulatory gene for autoimmune diseases located on the X chromosome. However, there was little study about the correlation of IRAK1 functional single nucleotide polymorphisms with mRNA expression in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) patients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the plausible association of IRAK1 polymorphism, IRAK1 mRNA expression, and NMOSD risk in the northern Chinese Han population. Methods: Four loci of IRAK1 gene (rs1059702, rs7061789, rs1059703, and rs3027898) were genotyped using multiplex SNaPshot technique in 102 NMOSD patients and 213 healthy subjects. Allele, genotype, and haplotype frequencies were compared. Stratified analyses were conducted by age, sex, AQP4 status, and age of onset. IRAK1 mRNA levels in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 30 NMOSD patients (of active phase) and 15 healthy control subjects were detected using qPCR. The correlations between the SNP polymorphisms and mRNA expression levels of genes were tested using non-parametric tests. Results: The minor allele frequencies (MAF) of these four locis were significantly lower in NMOSD cases than that of the controls. The frequencies of rs1059703G/G genotype, rs1059702A/A genotype, rs3027898 C/C genotype, and rs7061789G/G genotype were higher in the case group than that of the control group. Haplotype analysis revealed that the major haplotype "G-A-C-G" (alleles in the order of SNPs rs1059703, rs1059702, rs3027898, and rs7061789), containing the risk alleles, conferred an adverse effect on NMOSD. The level of IRAK1mRNA was markedly higher in NMOSD when compared to the healthy control groups. The IRAK1mRNA levels of female patients with the major haplotype were significantly higher compared to those with other haplotypes and to the male patients with the same genotype. Conclusion: IRAK1 polymorphisms were highly correlated with NMOSD susceptibility. Its haplotype G-A-C-G (rs1059703-rs1059702-rs3027898-rs7061789) confers increasing the risk of NMOSD in female patients. The IRAK1 risk haplotype G-A-C-G upregulated IRAK1 mRNA expression in female NMOSD patients. Our study provides a novel insight into the molecular mechanism of the pathogenesis of NMOSD and reveals that IRAK1 is the potential mechanism-specific druggable target in NMOSD disease.

Abstract
Background and Objectives To determine optic nerve and retinal damage in aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4-IgG)-seropositive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) in a large international cohort after previous studies have been limited by small and heterogeneous cohorts. Methods The cross-sectional Collaborative Retrospective Study on retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) in neuromyelitis optica collected retrospective data from 22 centers. Of 653 screened participants, we included 283 AQP4-IgG–seropositive patients with NMOSD and 72 healthy controls (HCs). Participants underwent OCT with central reading including quality control and intraretinal segmentation. The primary outcome was thickness of combined ganglion cell and inner plexiform (GCIP) layer; secondary outcomes were thickness of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and visual acuity (VA). Results Eyes with ON (NMOSD-ON, N = 260) or without ON (NMOSD-NON, N = 241) were assessed compared with HCs (N = 136). In NMOSD-ON, GCIP layer (57.4 ± 12.2 μm) was reduced compared with HC (GCIP layer: 81.4 ± 5.7 μm, p < 0.001). GCIP layer loss (−22.7 μm) after the first ON was higher than after the next (−3.5 μm) and subsequent episodes. pRNFL observations were similar. NMOSD-NON exhibited reduced GCIP layer but not pRNFL compared with HC. VA was greatly reduced in NMOSD-ON compared with HC eyes, but did not differ between NMOSD-NON and HC. Discussion Our results emphasize that attack prevention is key to avoid severe neuroaxonal damage and vision loss caused by ON in NMOSD. Therapies ameliorating attack-related damage, especially during a first attack, are an unmet clinical need. Mild signs of neuroaxonal changes without apparent vision loss in ON-unaffected eyes might be solely due to contralateral ON attacks and do not suggest clinically relevant progression but need further investigation.

Th17-Related Cytokines as Potential Discriminatory Markers between Neuromyelitis Optica (Devic's Disease) and Multiple Sclerosis-A Review. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22168946. [PMID: 34445668 PMCID: PMC8396435 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22168946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Revised: 08/15/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) and Devic’s disease (NMO; neuromyelitis optica) are autoimmune, inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), the etiology of which remains unclear. It is a serious limitation in the treatment of these diseases. The resemblance of the clinical pictures of these two conditions generates a partial possibility of introducing similar treatment, but on the other hand, a high risk of misdiagnosis. Therefore, a better understanding and comparative characterization of the immunopathogenic mechanisms of each of these diseases are essential to improve their discriminatory diagnosis and more effective treatment. In this review, special attention is given to Th17 cells and Th17-related cytokines in the context of their potential usefulness as discriminatory markers for MS and NMO. The discussed results emphasize the role of Th17 immune response in both MS and NMO pathogenesis, which, however, cannot be considered without taking into account the broader perspective of immune response mechanisms.

Population-based head-to-head comparison of the clinical characteristics and epidemiology of AQP4 antibody-positive NMOSD between two European countries. Mult Scler Relat Disord 2021; 51:102879. [PMID: 33714126 DOI: 10.1016/j.msard.2021.102879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Revised: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 03/01/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Population-based clinical studies in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and epidemiological and clinical comparisons of White ethnicities are missing. In a large population-based international cohort, we extensively characterized aquaporin-4 antibody seropositive (AQP4-Ab+) NMOSD, and also compared the clinical, radiological and epidemiological features between two European populations residing in different areas. METHODS Between self-reported Danish and Hungarian ethnicities, we compared the population-based clinical features, disability outcomes, and death of 134 AQP4-Ab+ NMOSD cases fulfilling the 2015 International Panel for NMO Diagnosis (IPND) criteria. For precise comparison of epidemiology, we conducted a population-based head-to-head comparative study of the age-standardized prevalence (January 1, 2014) and incidence (2007-2013) of AQP4-Ab+ NMO/NMOSD among adults (≥16 years) in Denmark (4.6 million) and Hungary (6.4 million) by applying 2015 IPND (NMOSD) criteria and 2006 Wingerchuk (NMO). RESULTS Danes were more likely to present with transverse myelitis and were more affected by spinal cord damage on long-term disability. Hungarians presented most often with optic neuritis, although visual outcome was similar in the groups. No differences were observed in sex, disease course, relapse rate, autoimmune comorbidity, mortality, brain MRI, and treatment strategies. The age-standardized prevalence estimates of AQP4-Ab+ NMOSD (2015 IPND criteria) in Denmark vs. Hungary were 0.66 vs. 1.43 (/100,000) while incidence rates were 0.04 vs. 0.11 (/100,000 person-years); similar differences were found based on the 2006 NMO criteria. CONCLUSIONS This head-to-head comparative study indicates different disease characteristics and epidemiology among White populations in Europe, and substantiates the need for population-based genetic and environmental studies in NMOSD.

Abstract
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoantibody-triggered neuro-inflammatory disease which preferentially attacks the spinal cord and optic nerve. Its defining autoantibody is specific for the water channel protein, aquaporin-4 (AQP4), which primarily is localized at the end-feet of astrocytes. Histopathology studies of early NMO lesions demonstrated prominent activation of microglia, the resident immune sentinels of the central nervous system (CNS). Significant microglial reactivity is also observed in NMO animal models induced by introducing AQP4-IgG into the CNS. Here we review the potential roles for microglial activation in human NMO patients as well as different animal models of NMO. We will focus primarily on the molecular mechanisms underlying microglial function and microglia-astrocyte interaction in NMO pathogenesis. Understanding the role of microglia in NMO pathology may yield novel therapeutic approaches for this disease.

Worldwide Incidence and Prevalence of Neuromyelitis Optica: A Systematic Review. Neurology 2020; 96:59-77. [PMID: 33310876 PMCID: PMC7905781 DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000011153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 72] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2020] [Accepted: 09/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Since the last epidemiologic review of neuromyelitis optica/neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMO/NMOSD), 22 additional studies have been conducted. We systematically review the worldwide prevalence, incidence, and basic demographic characteristics of NMOSD and provide a critical overview of studies. Methods PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Embase using Medical Subject Headings and keyword search terms and reference lists of retrieved articles were searched from 1999 until August 2019. We collected data on the country; region; methods of case assessment and aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4-Ab) test; study period; limitations; incidence (per 100,000 person-years); prevalence (per 100,000 persons); and age-, sex-, and ethnic group–specific incidence or prevalence. Results We identified 33 relevant articles. The results indicated the highest estimates of incidence and prevalence of NMOSD in Afro-Caribbean region (0.73/100 000 person-years [95% CI: 0.45–1.01] and 10/100 000 persons [95% CI: 6.8–13.2]). The lowest incidence and prevalence of NMOSD were found in Australia and New Zealand (0.037/100 000 person-years [95% CI: 0.036–0.038] and 0.7/100,000 persons [95% CI: 0.66–0.74]). There was prominent female predominance in adults and the AQP4-Ab–seropositive subpopulation. The incidence and prevalence peaked in middle-aged adults. African ethnicity had the highest incidence and prevalence of NMOSD, whereas White ethnicity had the lowest. No remarkable trend of incidence was described over time. Conclusion NMOSD is a rare disease worldwide. Variations in prevalence and incidence have been described among different geographic areas and ethnicities. These are only partially explained by different study methods and NMO/NMOSD definitions, highlighting the need for specifically designed epidemiologic studies to identify genetic effects and etiologic factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical data on male neuromyelitis optica spectrum (NMO) patients remain limited to date. OBJECTIVE To analyze clinical characteristics, therapeutic responses, and outcomes in Chinese male NMOSD patients. METHODS We retrospectively assessed clinical, demographic, treatment, and outcome data of male patients with NMOSD. RESULTS We identified 52 male patients among 471 NMOSD patients. Male patients had more frequent optic neuritis (ON) attacks and less frequent myelitis than female patients. No-remission rates of high-dose intravenous steroid therapy were higher in male patients than in female patients. CONCLUSION Male NMOSD patients had different clinical characteristics and worse response to high-dose intravenous steroid therapy than female patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Optical coherence tomography (OCT) captures retinal damage in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). Previous studies investigating OCT in NMOSD have been limited by the rareness and heterogeneity of the disease. The goal of this study was to establish an image repository platform, which will facilitate neuroimaging studies in NMOSD. Here we summarise the profile of the Collaborative OCT in NMOSD repository as the initial effort in establishing this platform. This repository should prove invaluable for studies using OCT to investigate NMOSD. PARTICIPANTS The current cohort includes data from 539 patients with NMOSD and 114 healthy controls. These were collected at 22 participating centres from North and South America, Asia and Europe. The dataset consists of demographic details, diagnosis, antibody status, clinical disability, visual function, history of optic neuritis and other NMOSD defining attacks, and OCT source data from three different OCT devices. FINDINGS TO DATE The cohort informs similar demographic and clinical characteristics as those of previously published NMOSD cohorts. The image repository platform and centre network continue to be available for future prospective neuroimaging studies in NMOSD. For the conduct of the study, we have refined OCT image quality criteria and developed a cross-device intraretinal segmentation pipeline. FUTURE PLANS We are pursuing several scientific projects based on the repository, such as analysing retinal layer thickness measurements, in this cohort in an attempt to identify differences between distinct disease phenotypes, demographics and ethnicities. The dataset will be available for further projects to interested, qualified parties, such as those using specialised image analysis or artificial intelligence applications.

Abstract
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO; also known as Devic syndrome) is a clinical syndrome characterized by attacks of acute optic neuritis and transverse myelitis. In most patients, NMO is caused by pathogenetic serum IgG autoantibodies to aquaporin 4 (AQP4), the most abundant water-channel protein in the central nervous system. In a subset of patients negative for AQP4-IgG, pathogenetic serum IgG antibodies to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, an antigen in the outer myelin sheath of central nervous system neurons, are present. Other causes of NMO (such as paraneoplastic disorders and neurosarcoidosis) are rare. NMO was previously associated with a poor prognosis; however, treatment with steroids and plasma exchange for acute attacks and with immunosuppressants (in particular, B cell-depleting agents) for attack prevention has greatly improved the long-term outcomes. Recently, a number of randomized controlled trials have been completed and the first drugs, all therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, have been approved for the treatment of AQP4-IgG-positive NMO and its formes frustes.

Abstract
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), autoimmune encephalitis (AE), myasthenia gravis (MG) and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) are antibody-mediated neurological diseases. They have mostly female predominance, affecting many women during childbearing age. Interactions between the underlying disease (or necessary treatment) and pregnancy can occur in every of these illnesses. Herein, we present the characteristics of NMOSD, AE, MG and LEMS in general, and review published data regarding the influence of the different diseases on fertility, pregnancy, puerperium, treatment strategy during pregnancy and post-partum period, and menopause but also male factors. We summarise key elements that should be borne in mind when confronted with such cases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence-based treatment options for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) patients are beginning to enter the market. Where previously, there was only the exclusive use of empiric and off-label immunosuppressants in this rare and devastating central nervous system autoimmune disease. AREAS COVERED In accordance to expanding pathogenetic insights, drugs in phase II and III clinical trials are presented in the context of the current treatment situation for acute attacks and immunopreventative strategies in NMOSD. Some such drugs are the 2019-approved complement inhibitor eculizumab, other compounds in late development include its modified successor ravulizumab, IL-6 receptor antibody satralizumab, CD19 targeting antibody inebilizumab and the TACI-Fc fusion protein telitacicept. EXPERT OPINION Moving from broad immunosuppression to tailored treatment strategies, the prospects for efficient NMOSD therapy are positive. For the first time in this disease, class I treatment evidence is available, but long-term data will be necessary to confirm the overall promising study results of the compounds close to approval. While drug development still centers around AQP4 antibody seropositive patients, current and future research requires consideration of possible diverging treatment demands for the smaller group of seronegative patients and patients with presence of MOG antibodies.

Is Fertility Affected in Women of Childbearing Age with Multiple Sclerosis or Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder? J Mol Neurosci 2020; 70:1829-1835.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic immune-mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which is more prevalent among women of childbearing age. Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a severe autoimmune disease of the CNS with similar prevalence features to MS and has recently been considered a different entity from MS. Measuring ovarian reserve is one way of evaluating fertility. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a peptide hormone produced by ovarian granulosa cells of early follicles and is considered to be a marker for ovarian reserve. With MS and NMOSD predominance in young women, the present study aimed to address the possibility of these diseases affecting fertility by measuring AMH levels in MS and NMOSD patients and comparing it with healthy controls. The present study included 23 relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients, 23 seronegative NMOSD patients, and 23 healthy age-matched controls between 18 and 45 years of age. Serum samples of the three groups were collected, and the AMH levels were measured with AMH Gen II Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay, Beckman Coulter kit. In the present study, the AMH levels did not differ significantly between the groups (p = 0.996). The mean AMH in the RRMS group was 3.59 ± 0.55 ng/ml compared with the mean of 3.60 ± 0.50 ng/ml in healthy controls. The mean AMH levels in the NMOSD group were 3.66 ± 0.61 ng/ml. Lower levels of AMH were found to be negatively associated with annualized relapse rate (in both groups of patients) and MS severity score. However, the difference was not significant. In NMOSD patients, the serum levels of AMH were negatively associated with disease duration (r = - 0.42, p = 0.023). There had been a significant negative correlation between mean AMH serum levels with Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) at the time of diagnosis and at the time of study in the NMOSD group (r = - 0.402, p = 0.03 and r = - 0.457, p = 0.014, respectively). There was not a significant difference in mean serum AMH levels between RRMS and NMOSD patients compared with that of healthy controls. Further studies with larger sample sizes should be conducted, which take more variables affecting fertility in women with either RRMS or NMOSD into account to put an end to the controversial issue of fertility in this area.

Abstract
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are a type of neurological autoimmune disease characterized by attacks of CNS inflammation that are often severe and predominantly affect the spinal cord and optic nerve. The majority of individuals with NMOSD are women, many of whom are of childbearing age. Although NMOSD are rare, several small retrospective studies and case reports have indicated that pregnancy can worsen disease activity and might contribute to disease onset. NMOSD disease activity seems to negatively affect pregnancy outcomes. Moreover, some of the current NMOSD treatments are known to pose risks to the developing fetus and only limited safety data are available for others. Here, we review published studies regarding the relationship between pregnancy outcomes and NMOSD disease activity. We also assess the risks associated with using disease-modifying therapies for NMOSD during the course of pregnancy and breastfeeding. On the basis of the available evidence, we offer recommendations regarding the use of these therapies in the course of pregnancy planning in individuals with NMOSD.

Abstract
The review is devoted to up-to-date data on epidemiology, aspects of the pathogenesis of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). The authors consider a role of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein immunoglobulin G (MOG-IgG) in the syndromes phenotypically similar to NMO and NMOSD. Special attention is drawn to the methods of MOG-IgG antibodies detection and indications for testing. The approaches and management for treatment and prevention of NMO relapses, risks of complications during pregnancy and immediately after delivery, as well as methods for their prevention and treatment, are described.

Abstract
Physiologic changes occurring in pregnancy and postpartum can have secondary effects on the maternal nervous system. While most alterations to neurologic function during pregnancy are transient, there is an elevated risk for more serious complication in the peripartum period, such as cerebrovascular events or exacerbation of preexisting neurologic conditions. Due to the morbidity and mortality associated with these neurologic manifestations in some cases, timely diagnostic evaluation is essential. In the pregnant population, the use of diagnostic techniques such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), commonly employed to evaluate emergent neurologic abnormalities, requires special consideration of the potential risks associated with prenatal exposure. This review discusses several neurologic conditions affecting women during pregnancy for which diagnostic imaging may be warranted. Concerns relating to CT and MRI procedures, radiation exposure in utero, and exposure to intravenous contrast by placental transfer and breastfeeding are also reviewed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and radiological characteristics of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) patients from the Arabian Gulf relative to anti-aquaporin 4 antibody serostatus. METHODS Retrospective multicentre study of hospital records of patients diagnosed with NMOSD based on 2015 International Panel on NMOSD Diagnosis (IPND) consensus criteria. RESULTS One hundred forty four patients were evaluated, 64.3% were anti-AQP4 antibody positive. Mean age at onset and disease duration were 31±12 and 7 ± 6 years respectively. Patients were predominantly female (4.7:1). Overall; relapsing course (80%) was more common than monophasic (20%). Optic neuritis was the most frequent presentation (48.6%), regardless of serostatus. The proportion of patients (54.3%) with visual acuity of ≤ 0.1 was higher in the seropositive group (p = 0.018). Primary presenting symptoms of transverse myelitis (TM) were observed in 29% of patients, and were the most significant correlate of hospitalization (p<0.001). Relative to anti-APQ4 serostatus, there were no significant differences in terms of age of onset, course, relapse rates or efficacy outcomes except for oligoclonal bands (OCB), which were more often present in seronegative patients (40% vs.22.5%; p = 0.054). Irrespective of serostatus, several disease modifying therapies were instituted including steroids or immunosuppressives, mostly, rituximab and azathioprine in the cohort irrespective of serostatus. The use of rituximab resulted in reduction in disease activity. CONCLUSION This is the first descriptive NMOSD cohort in the Arabian Gulf region. Seropositive patients were more prevalent with female predominance. Relapsing course was more common than monophasic. However, anti-AQP4 serostatus did not impact disease duration, relapse rate or therapeutic effectiveness. These findings offer new insights into natural history of NMOSD in patients of the Arabian Gulf and allow comparison with patient populations in different World regions.

Abstract
Objective To develop a resource of systematically collected, longitudinal clinical data and biospecimens for assisting in the investigation into neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) epidemiology, pathogenesis, and treatment. Methods To illustrate its research-enabling purpose, epidemiologic patterns and disease phenotypes were assessed among enrolled subjects, including age at disease onset, annualized relapse rate (ARR), and time between the first and second attacks. Results As of December 2017, the Collaborative International Research in Clinical and Longitudinal Experience Study (CIRCLES) had enrolled more than 1,000 participants, of whom 77.5% of the NMOSD cases and 71.7% of the controls continue in active follow-up. Consanguineous relatives of patients with NMOSD represented 43.6% of the control cohort. Of the 599 active cases with complete data, 84% were female, and 76% were anti-AQP4 seropositive. The majority were white/Caucasian (52.6%), whereas blacks/African Americans accounted for 23.5%, Hispanics/Latinos 12.4%, and Asians accounted for 9.0%. The median age at disease onset was 38.4 years, with a median ARR of 0.5. Seropositive cases were older at disease onset, more likely to be black/African American or Hispanic/Latino, and more likely to be female. Conclusions Collectively, the CIRCLES experience to date demonstrates this study to be a useful and readily accessible resource to facilitate accelerating solutions for patients with NMOSD.

Different Characteristics of Aquaporin-4 and Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-Seropositive Male Optic Neuritis in China. J Ophthalmol 2019; 2019:4015075. [PMID: 31061727 PMCID: PMC6466870 DOI: 10.1155/2019/4015075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2018] [Revised: 01/23/2019] [Accepted: 02/13/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose 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. Method 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). Results 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 (p < 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 (p=0.040, p=0.016, and p=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 (p < 0.001). The ratio of this steroid-dependent condition is higher in MOG-ON patients than the AQP4-ON group (p < 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 (p=0.012). MOG-ON patients had thicker average peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layers and macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform than AQP4-ON patients (p=0.008 and p=0.012, respectively). Orbital MRI revealed more AQP4-ON patients had chiasmal involvement than MOG-ON patients (p < 0.001). Conclusion 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.

Abstract
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody disease is a rare autoimmune disorder with antibodies against the MOG predominantly involving the optic nerve and spinal cord leading to vision loss and paralysis. When MOG antibody disease involves the brain, the phenotype is similar to acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). In this review, we discuss MOG-positive cases presenting with encephalitis, encephalopathy, or ADEM-like presentation based on recently published series.

Radiomics in multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. Eur Radiol 2019; 29:4670-4677.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate an individual radiomics nomogram for differential diagnosis between multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). METHODS We retrospectively collected 67 MS and 68 NMOSD with spinal cord lesions as a primary cohort and prospectively recruited 28 MS and 26 NMOSD patients as a validation cohort. Radiomic features were extracted from the spinal cord lesions. A prediction model for differentiating MS and NMOSD was built by combining the radiomic features with several clinical and routine MRI measurements. The performance of the model was assessed with respect to its calibration plot and clinical discrimination in the primary and validation cohorts. RESULTS Nine radiomics features extracted from an initial set of 485, predominantly reflecting lesion heterogeneity, combined with lesion length, patient sex, and EDSS, were selected to build the model for differentiating MS and NMOSD. The areas under the ROC curves (AUC) for differentiating the two diseases were 0.8808 and 0.7115, for the primary and validation cohort, respectively. This model demonstrated good calibration (C-index was 0.906 and 0.802 in primary and validation cohort). CONCLUSIONS A validated nomogram that incorporates the radiomic signature of spinal cord lesions, as well as cord lesion length, sex, and EDSS score, can usefully differentiate MS and NMOSD. KEY POINTS • Radiomic features of spinal cord lesions in MS and NMOSD were different. • Radiomic signatures can capture pathological alterations and help differentiate MS and NMOSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 2015 criteria for diagnosing neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) have encouraged several groups across the world to report on their patients using these criteria. The disease typically manifests with severe relapses of optic neuritis, longitudinally extensive myelitis and/or brainstem syndromes, often leading to severe disability. Some patients are seropositive for antibodies against aquaporin-4 (AQP4), others are positive for anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), while a few are negative for both biomarkers. The disease is complex, and only now are specific therapeutic clinical trials being carried out. The present study adds to the literature through detailed clinical data from 153 medical records of Brazilian patients. METHODS Retrospective assessment of medical records from nine specialized units in Brazil. RESULTS NMOSD was more prevalent in females (4.1:1), who had significantly fewer relapses than males (p = 0.007) but presented similar levels of disability over time. African ancestry was associated with higher levels of disability throughout the disease course (p < 0.001), although the number of relapses was similar to that observed in white patients. Concomitant autoimmune diseases were relatively rare in this population (6.5%). Positivity for anti-AQP4 antibodies was identified in 62% of the patients tested, while 3% presented anti-MOG antibodies. Anti-AQP4 antibodies were not associated to worse disease course. The last medical record showed that six patients had died and 13 were wheelchair-bound. Seventy percent of the patients did not respond to first-line therapy (azathioprine and/or corticosteroids), and five patients continued to relapse even after four different courses of treatment. CONCLUSION The present study adds to the reports from other countries presenting original data on Brazilian patients diagnosed with NMOSD according to the 2015 criteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system that was previously thought to be a subtype of multiple sclerosis (MS). Epidemiology studies of NMOSD are rare in both Middle East and North African countries. To our knowledge, there are no such studies in Egypt. Herein, we describe a case series of NMOSD patients from North Egyptian Nile Delta region and compare them to NMOSD in other parts in the Middle East and the world. METHODS This is a case series study of NMOSD patients who were seen at the neuroimmunology clinic, Elhadara Hospital, University of Alexandria, Egypt, from January 2017 to January 2018. We describe their clinical, serological and radiological features. RESULTS Our study identified twenty Egyptian patients, all of who fulfilled the 2015 international NMOSD diagnostic criteria. Ten tested positive for AQP4 antibodies in the serum while the other ten were seronegative. The mean age at onset was 27.8 years with an average disease duration of 6.8 years. There was a strong female predominance with a ratio of 5.6:1. We identified clinical features of the cohort that differ from those reported in other worldwide studies. INTERPRETATION This is the first NMOSD case series in Egypt. Despite some limitation in testing and access to care, there are features of our NMOSD cases that appear to be different from other worldwide cohorts reported in the literature.

Abstract
Stronger adaptive immune responses in females can be observed in different mammals, resulting in better control of infections compared to males. However, this presumably evolutionary difference likely also drives higher incidence of autoimmune diseases observed in humans. Here, we summarize sex differences in the most common autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) and discuss recent advances in the understanding of possible underlying immunological and CNS intrinsic mechanisms. In multiple sclerosis (MS), the most common inflammatory disease of the CNS, but also in rarer conditions, such as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) or neuronal autoantibody-mediated autoimmune encephalitis (AE), sex is one of the top risk factors, with women being more often affected than men. Immunological mechanisms driving the sex bias in autoimmune CNS diseases are complex and include hormonal as well as genetic and epigenetic effects, which could also be exerted indirectly via modulation of the microbiome. Furthermore, CNS intrinsic differences could underlie the sex bias in autoimmunity by differential responses to injury. The strong effects of sex on incidence and possibly also activity and progression of autoimmune CNS disorders suggest that treatments need to be tailored to each sex to optimize efficacy. To date, however, due to a lack of systematic studies on treatment responses in males versus females, evidence in this area is still sparse. We argue that studies taking sex differences into account could pave the way for sex-specific and therefore personalized treatment.

Abstract
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are autoantibody mediated chronic inflammatory diseases. Serum antibodies (Abs) against the aquaporin-4 water channel lead to recurrent attacks of optic neuritis, myelitis and/or brainstem syndromes. In some patients with symptoms of NMOSD, no AQP4-Abs but Abs against myelin-oligodendrocyte-glycoprotein (MOG) are detectable. These clinical syndromes are now frequently referred to as "MOG-encephalomyelitis" (MOG-EM). Here we give an overview on current recommendations concerning diagnosis of NMOSD and MOG-EM. These include antibody and further laboratory testing, MR imaging and optical coherence tomography. We discuss therapeutic options of acute attacks as well as longterm immunosuppressive treatment, including azathioprine, rituximab, and immunoglobulins.

Abstract
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are autoimmune inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system that predominately affect women. Some of these patients are of childbearing age at NMOSD onset. This study reviews, on the one hand, the role NMOSD play in fertility, pregnancy complications and pregnancy outcome, and on the other, the effect of pregnancy on NMOSD disease course and treatment options available during pregnancy. Animal studies show lower fertility rates in NMOSD; however, investigations into fertility in NMOSD patients are lacking. Pregnancies in NMOSD patients are associated with increased disease activity and more severe disability postpartum. Some studies found higher risks of pregnancy complications, e.g., miscarriages and preeclampsia. Acute relapses during pregnancy can be treated with methylprednisolone and/or plasma exchange/immunoadsorption. A decision to either stop or continue immunosuppressive therapy with azathioprine or rituximab during pregnancy should be evaluated carefully and factor in the patient's history of disease activity. To this end, involving neuroimmunological specialist centers in the treatment and care of pregnant NMOSD patients is recommended, particularly in specific situations like pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gender issues and the female preponderance in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) have been investigated before, yet the interplay between NMOSD and menstrual characteristics has remained unknown. Thus, the aim was to compare menstrual cycle patterns and their symptoms in NMOSD patients and healthy women. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted during 2015-2016 in Isfahan, Iran, and included female patients aged>14years with a diagnosis of NMOSD and healthy subjects as controls. Data regarding age at menarche, menstrual characteristics, history of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and possible perimenstrual symptoms were collected. Also, NMOSD patients were asked to report changes in their menstrual cycles after onset of the disorder. RESULTS The final study population included 32 NMOSD and 33 healthy controls. These groups did not differ regarding their demographics (P>0.05), and age at menarche in the NMOSD and control groups was 13.31±1.49 years and 13.48±1.44 years, respectively (P=0.637). The controls experienced PMS more frequently (78.8% vs. 40.6% in the NMOSD patients; P=0.03), with no significant differences in other menstrual features between groups (P>0.05). However, changes in menstruation after NMOSD onset were reported by 43.8% of patients, with an increase in menstrual irregularities from 15.6% to 43.7% (P=0.012); other menstrual characteristics did not differ after disease onset (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Menstruation do not differ between healthy controls and NMOSD patients before the onset of disease whereas, after its onset, those affected experienced more irregularities in their menstrual cycles. This may be an effect of NMOSD and its underlying disorders on menstruation and suggests that further interventions may be required for affected women.

Abstract
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a neuroinflammatory disease. The majority of NMOSD patients is seropositive for aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibodies. AQP4 is the main water channel protein in the central nervous system, but has also been identified in the female reproductive system. Fertility issues and ovarian reserve has not yet been studied in females with NMOSD. The purpose of this study was to measure serum Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in females with NMOSD compared to healthy controls (HC), in combination with other lifestyle and reproduction parameters. AMH is independent from the menstrual cycle and a reliable indicator of both ovarian reserve and ovarian function. We included a total of 32 reproductive-age females, 18 HC and 14 with NMOSD. We used an enzymatically amplified two-site immunoassay to determine serum AMH level. In comparison to HC, mean AMH value was reduced in NMOSD. Apart from that significantly more women with NMOSD showed low AMH levels (< 0.8 ng/ml). Low AMH was associated with disease activity. In contrast, none of the immunotherapies for NMOSD, neither any reproductive life style parameter was associated with a decreased AMH. Our results contribute to understanding of hindered fertility in females with NMOSD and enables neurologists to better counsel female patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to every fourth woman with multiple sclerosis (MS) or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) suffers a clinically relevant relapse during pregnancy. High doses of steroids bear some serious risks, especially within the first trimester of pregnancy. Immunoadsorption (IA) is an effective and more selective treatment option in disabling MS relapse than plasma exchange. Data on the use of IA during pregnancy and breastfeeding are scarce. METHODS In this retrospective multicenter study, we analyzed the safety and efficacy of IA treatment in acute relapses during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The primary outcome parameter - change of acute relapse-related disability after IA - was assessed using Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and visual acuity (VA) measurements for patients with optic neuritis (ON). RESULTS A total of 24 patients were analyzed, 23 with relapsing-remitting MS, and 1 with NMOSD. Twenty patients were treated with IA during pregnancy. Four patients received IA postnatally during the breastfeeding period. Treatment was started at a mean 22.5 [standard deviation (SD) 13.9] days after onset of relapse. Patients were treated with a series of 5.8 (mean, SD 0.7) IA treatments within 7-10 days. Sixteen patients received IA because of steroid-refractory relapse, eight were treated without preceding steroid pulse therapy. EDSS improved clinically relevant from 3.5 [median, interquartile range (IQR) 2] before IA to 2.5 (median, IQR 1.1) after IA, p < 0.001. In patients with ON, VA improved in four out of five patients. Altogether, in 83% of patients, a rapid and marked improvement of relapse-related symptoms was observed after IA with either a decrease of ⩾1 EDSS grade or improvement in VA ⩾20%. No clinically relevant side effect was reported in 138 IA treatments. CONCLUSIONS Tryptophan-IA was found to be effective and well tolerated in MS/NMOSD relapses, both as an escalation option after insufficient response to steroid pulse therapy and as first-line relapse treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Abstract
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are mostly relapsing inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). Optic neuritis (ON) is the first NMOSD-related clinical event in 55% of the patients, which causes damage to the optic nerve and leads to visual impairment. Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) has emerged as a promising method for diagnosis of NMOSD and potential individual monitoring of disease course and severity. OCT not only detects damage to the afferent visual system caused by ON but potentially also NMOSD-specific intraretinal pathology, i.e. astrocytopathy. This article summarizes retinal involvement in NMOSD and reviews OCT methods that could be used now and in the future, for differential diagnosis, for monitoring of disease course, and in clinical trials.
