Mass spectrometry-based analysis on the impact of whole blood donation on the global plasma proteome

Iris C. Kreft et al.

Summary: This study used unbiased mass spectrometry to evaluate longitudinal changes in the global plasma proteome after whole blood donation for new and regular donors. The results showed limited changes in the plasma proteome after donation, and certain proteins were associated with platelets, red blood cells, and neutrophils.

Emerging role of extracellular vesicles in multiple sclerosis: From cellular surrogates to pathogenic mediators and beyond

Paola Loreto Palacio et al.

Summary: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Treatment options for relapsing forms of MS have improved, but there is still a need for better therapies for individuals with progressive MS. This review focuses on the potential role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their bioactive cargo in MS pathogenesis, advances and challenges in isolating and characterizing EVs for translational studies, and future perspectives in this field.

Epstein-Barr virus as a cause of multiple sclerosis: opportunities for prevention and therapy

Francesca Aloisi et al.

Summary: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that is influenced by genetics and environmental factors, with the Epstein-Barr virus playing a pivotal role in its development. Understanding the mechanisms linking EBV to the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis is crucial for translating this knowledge into actionable information. Ongoing research is exploring whether EBV causes neuroinflammation through autoimmunity or antiviral immunity, and how EBV interacts with genetic susceptibility to promote immune dysfunction in susceptible individuals. Targeting EBV and developing anti-EBV vaccines in clinical trials bring hope for future treatments and preventive interventions for multiple sclerosis.

Dual role of peripheral B cells in multiple sclerosis: emerging remote players in demyelination and novel diagnostic biomarkers

Gabriel Torres Iglesias et al.

Summary: Using a prospective, observational, and single-center study, we found that extracellular vesicles can mediate the delivery of autoantibodies from peripheral B cells, resulting in demyelination in multiple sclerosis. Additionally, we identified that these myelin antibodies in extracellular vesicles could serve as a diagnostic biomarker for multiple sclerosis.

Clonally expanded B cells in multiple sclerosis bind EBV EBNA1 and GlialCAM

Tobias Lanz et al.

Summary: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease where autoreactive lymphocytes attack the central nervous system. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection has been linked to MS, with molecular mimicry between EBV nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) and central nervous system protein GlialCAM. EBNA1 immunization exacerbates disease in MS mouse models and anti-EBNA1 and anti-GlialCAM antibodies are prevalent in MS patients, providing a mechanistic link between MS and EBV and guiding the development of new MS therapies.

Antibodies from Multiple Sclerosis Brain Identified Epstein-Barr Virus Nuclear Antigen 1 & 2 Epitopes which Are Recognized by Oligoclonal Bands

Zhe Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that EBV nuclear antigens are associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), and MS patients have significantly higher binding of intrathecal IgG to the EBNA1 epitope compared to EBNA2. This further confirms the potential role of EBV in the etiology of MS.
