The Gut–CNS Axis in Multiple Sclerosis
Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells in Multiple Sclerosis: The Jury is Still Out
TLDR
The current knowledge on MAIT cell biology in health and disease is described, the possible mechanisms behind their role in MS are discussed, and the specific features of this new non-conventional T cell subset make it an interesting candidate as a biomarker or as the target of immune-mediated intervention.
Multiple Sclerosis and T Lymphocytes: An Entangled Story
TLDR
The migration of activated T lymphocytes from the periphery into the CNS has been identified as a crucial step in the formation of MS lesions and several factors promote such T cell extravasation including: molecules implicated in the T cell-blood brain barrier interaction, and chemokines produced by neural cells.
Environmental Factors and Their Regulation of Immunity in Multiple Sclerosis
[Autoimmune Diseases of the Nervous System: Problem Statement and Prospects].
TLDR
The scientists of the biggest Russian neurological centre, Research Centre of Neurology (Moscow), developed a <<vaccine>> for immunotherapy of multiple sclerosis, studied pathomorphosis of Guillain-Barre syndrome, specified the components of its pathogenesis and improved the programs of pathogenetic therapy.
Corrigendum to ‘Multiple sclerosis: New insights and trends’
Does the Gut Microbiota Influence Immunity and Inflammation in Multiple Sclerosis Pathophysiology?
TLDR
EAE, as an animal model of MS, indicates a strong influence of the gut microbiota on the immune system and shows that disturbances in gut physiology may contribute to the development of MS.
Multiple sclerosis: New insights and trends
T cell responses in the central nervous system
TLDR
The main mechanisms that are involved in the priming and CNS recruitment of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cell and regulatory T cells are highlighted and the plasticity of T cell responses in the CNS is considered, with a focus on viral infection and autoimmunity.

Remote control-triggering of brain autoimmune disease in the gut.
TLDR
Findings may pave the way to new strategies to treat MS and other human autoimmune diseases, and commend a reevaluation of dietary approaches.
New immunopathologic insights into multiple sclerosis
TLDR
The role of the immune system for the manifestation and evolution of MS is reviewed, different pathogenetic concepts are discussed and an outlook on future strategies to identify the cause is concluded.
Commensal gut flora and brain autoimmunity: a love or hate affair?
TLDR
This review will address the influence of intestinal microbiota on immune homeostasis and on the development of autoimmune responses at sites distal to the intestine with a particular emphasis placed on a discussion about CNS autoimmunity.
Commensal microbiota and myelin autoantigen cooperate to trigger autoimmune demyelination
TLDR
It is shown that the commensal gut flora—in the absence of pathogenic agents—is essential in triggering immune processes, leading to a relapsing–remitting autoimmune disease driven by myelin-specific CD4+ T cells.
Revisiting the old link between infection and autoimmune disease with commensals and T helper 17 cells
TLDR
Current views on how microbes, TH17 cells, and autoimmunity are connected are considered and it is speculated on how the intricate relationships among commensal, pathogen, and the host might ultimately determine susceptibility to autoimmune disease.
Molecular Mimicry, Bystander Activation, or Viral Persistence: Infections and Autoimmune Disease
TLDR
Mechanisms used to explain the association of autoimmunity and virus infection are molecular mimicry, bystander activation, and viral persistance, which are discussed in the context of multiple sclerosis, myocarditis, and diabetes.
Proinflammatory T-cell responses to gut microbiota promote experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
TLDR
It is revealed that the intestinal microbiota profoundly impacts the balance between pro- and antiinflammatory immune responses during EAE and suggest that modulation of gut bacteria may provide therapeutic targets for extraintestinal inflammatory diseases such as MS.
TLR-dependent T cell activation in autoimmunity

TLDR
Exogenous PAMPs and endogenous danger signals from necrotic cells bind to pattern recognition receptors (including Toll-like receptors) and activate signalling pathways in innate immune cells and in T cells, leading to pro-inflammatory cytokine production and T cell activation, which are now considered to be major factors in the development of autoimmunity.
Experimental models of spontaneous autoimmune disease in the central nervous system
TLDR
The aim of this review is to compile models that exhibit spontaneous organ-specific autoimmunity and explore their use for studying MS.
Proinflammatory Bacterial Peptidoglycan as a Cofactor for the Development of Central Nervous System Autoimmune Disease
TLDR
Staphylococcus aureus PGN as a single component can support the induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice, an animal model for MS, and indicates that PGN-mediated interactions result in proinflammatory stimulation of Ag-specific effector functions, which are important in the development of EAE.
