MS and NMOSD are autoimmune disorders of the central nervous system, and ≥ 50% of patients with these disorders experience chronic neuropathic pain. The currently available medications for the management of neuropathic pain have limited effectiveness in patients with MS and NMOSD, and there is an unmet medical need to identify novel therapies for the management of chronic neuropathic pain in these patients. In this review article, we summarize the role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the pathogenesis of MS and NMOSD and the ameliorative effects of anti-IL-6 therapies in mouse models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).</p><p><strong>Main body: </strong>Intraperitoneal injection of MR16-1, an anti-IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) antibody, reduced mechanical allodynia and spontaneous pain in EAE mice, which was attributed to a reduction in microglial activation and inhibition of the descending pain inhibitory system. The effect of anti-IL-6 therapies in ameliorating neuropathic pain in the clinical setting is controversial; a reduction in pain intensity has been reported with an anti-IL-6 antibody in four studies, namely a case report, a pilot study, a retrospective observational study, and a case series. Pain intensity was evaluated using a numerical rating scale (NRS), with a lower score indicating lesser pain. A reduction in the NRS score was reported in all four studies. However, in two randomized controlled trials of another anti-IL-6R antibody, the change in the visual analog scale pain score was not statistically significantly different when compared with placebo.

Lysosome-associated membrane protein type 2A (LAMP2A) is responsible for substrate binding and internalization to lysosomes, and thus, the lysosomal expression level of LAMP2A is a rate-limiting factor for CMA.

Cell therapies, such as mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) and macrophage therapies, have attracted attention as potential strategies for mitigating liver fibrosis. Here, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of HMGB1 peptide synthesized from box A of high mobility group box 1 protein. Liver damage and fibrosis were evaluated using a carbon tetrachloride (CCl<sub>4</sub>)-induced cirrhosis mouse model. The effects of HMGB1 peptide against immune cells were evaluated by single-cell RNA-seq using liver tissues, and those against monocytes/macrophages were further evaluated by in vitro analyses. Administration of HMGB1 peptide did not elicit a rapid response within 36 h, but attenuated liver damage after 1 week and suppressed fibrosis after 2 weeks. Fibrosis regression developed over time, despite continuous liver damage, suggesting that administration of this peptide could induce fibrolysis. In vitro analyses could not confirm a direct effect of HMGB1 peptide against monocyte/macrophages. However, macrophages were the most affected immune cells in the liver, and the number of scar-associated macrophages (Trem2+Cd9+ cells) with anti-inflammatory markers increased in the liver following HMGB1 treatment, suggesting that indirect effects of monocytes/macrophages were important for therapeutic efficacy.
