B cells play a central role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis, and BTK inhibitors may serve as a non-cell-depleting alternative for B cell modulation. This review discusses the structure, signaling, and roles of BTK, along with the various inhibitors assessed in animal models and clinical trials.
B cells play a central role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), as demonstrated through the success of various B cell-depleting monoclonal antibodies. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a critical molecule in intracellular signaling from the receptor of B cells and receptors expressed in the cells of the innate immune system. BTK inhibitors may be a non-cell-depleting alternative to B cell modulation. In this review, the structure, signaling, and roles of BTK are reviewed among the different inhibitors assayed in animal models of MS and clinical trials.
