抄録

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by severe myelitis and optic neuritis. Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) is involved in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus. However, its role in NMOSD remains unclear. In this study, the concentration of dsDNA in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was quantified in 23 patients with NMOSD and 16 patients with other neurological diseases (ONDs). CSF dsDNA levels in patients with NMOSD (median: 0.03 ng/µL) were significantly higher than those in patients with ONDs (median: 0.01 ng/μl). CSF dsDNA levels showed no significant difference before and after treatment. Elevation of CSF dsDNA levels may suggest its essential role in the augmentation of CNS inflammation in patients with NMOSD.
