Autoreactive T cells are found in the blood of NT1 patients, and mouse models demonstrate their migratory capacity and contribution in the selective destruction of hypocretin-producing neurons. However, direct evidence for their role in human NT1 pathophysiology remains elusive. In complementing these findings, hypothesis-generating approaches—including multiparametric immune profiling, transcriptomic sequencing and large-scale proteomic of blood and cerebrospinal fluid—have uncovered promising new avenues into the immune system’s involvement in NT1.

The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has revolutionised cancer therapy, and patients who were previously incurable can now have excellent responses. These therapies work by blocking inhibitory immune pathways, like cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), its ligand PD-L1, and lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3); which leads to increased anti-tumour immune responses. However, their use can lead to the development of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which may result in severe disability, interruption of cancer therapy, and even death. Neurological autoimmune sequelae occur in 1–10 % of patients treated with ICIs and can be fatal. They encompass a broad spectrum of diseases, may affect the central and the peripheral nervous system, and include syndromes like encephalitis, cerebellitis, neuropathy, and myositis. In some cases, neurological irAEs can be associated with autoantibodies recognising neuronal or glial targets. In this review, we first describe the key targets in ICI therapy, followed by a formulation of irAEs and their clinical presentations, where we focus on neurological syndromes. We comprehensively formulate the current literature evaluating cell surface and intracellular autoantibodies, cytokines, chemokines, leukocyte patterns, other blood derived biomarkers, and immunogenetic profiles; and highlight their impact on our understanding of the pathogenesis of neurological irAEs. Finally, we describe therapeutic pathways and patient outcomes, and provide an overview on future aspects of ICI cancer therapy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49546,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Immunology","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 101956"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach is challenging to maintain in real-world settings and in food allergy carries the risk of life-threatening anaphylaxis. Despite their distinct pathogenesis, both disorders are driven by maladaptive responses to dietary proteins, creating opportunities for shared treatment strategies. In food allergy, desensitisation therapies such as oral, sublingual, and epicutaneous immunotherapy are well-established, complemented by biologics like omalizumab and dupilumab. However, the induction of sustained tolerance remains challenging. In contrast, therapeutic advancements for coeliac disease are still in their early stages. Current efforts focus on gluten detoxification or modification, immune blockade or modulation, tolerogenic approaches, and barrier restoration. Emerging therapies, including JAK and BTK inhibitors and microbiome-targeted interventions, support further targeted treatment options for both conditions. Biomarkers tracking gluten-specific T cells have emerged as valuable tools for immunomonitoring and symptom assessment in coeliac disease, although standardisation of patient-reported outcome measures and gluten challenge protocols is still needed. Food allergy trials are reliant on double-blind placebo-controlled food challenges to measure allergen reactivity, but these are time-consuming, carry risks, and underscore the need for surrogate biomarkers. The successful development of immune-targeted therapies will require building an immune toolset to optimally assess systemic responses to antigens in both conditions. Clinically, this could lead to better outcomes for patients who might otherwise remain undiagnosed or untreated due to the absence of significant enteropathy or allergen-specific symptoms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49546,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Immunology","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 101960"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143864235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
