Immunotherapies in Huntington's disease and α-Synucleinopathies

Abstract: Modulation of immune activation using immunotherapy has attracted considerable attention for many years as a potential therapeutic intervention for several inflammation-associated neurodegenerative diseases. However, the efficacy of single-target immunotherapy intervention has shown limited or no efficacy in alleviating disease burden and restoring functional capacity. Marked immune system activation and neuroinflammation are important features and prodromal signs in polyQ repeat disorders and α-synucleinopath… Show more

“…This data is suggestive that, at least for neuropathology, the immune system plays a large role in the loss of medium spiny neurons and striatal atrophy. This data would be supportive of the preclinical and clinical development of immune targeting molecules, [39][40][41][42] and while the SIG-NAL and LEGATO-HD trials have mixed clinical outcomes, targeting the neuroinflammation associated with disease onset and progression may result in clinically meaningful outcomes.…”

“…Na DH ocorre desregulação de mecanismos imunes, gerando ativação microglial e elevação de citocinas inflamatórias, até mesmo antes da fase sintomática. 3,4,5 Os imunoterápicos destinados a restaurar a função normal dessas vias deveriam, em teoria, ter o potencial para desacelerar a doença e melhorar as características. Alguns deles mostraram resultados promissores em modelos animais na DH, mas não conseguiram reproduzir eficácia equivalente em ensaios clínicos.…”

“…A imunoterapia constitui um tratamento promissor para a DH, pela importante atuação sobre o processo inflamatório envolvido na patogênese da doença 3 . O tratamento combinado permite uma ação sinérgica sobre os mecanismos relacionados aos diferentes estágios e a progressão da doença, porém, está associado a toxicidade 5 .…”
