  1. Therapeutic Targets in MS

  2. MOAs for Interferon Beta • Inhibits antigen presentation and downregulates major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and costimulatory molecules1-4 • Inhibits T-cell (and other cell) stimulation and proliferation1 • Restores normal suppressor function1 • Shifts cytokines • Downregulates proinflammatory cytokines (eg, IL-2,IL-12, IL-13, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha) and inhibits their production1-3,5,6 • Promotes Th2 cytokines (eg, IL-4, IL-10)1,2,5

  3. MOAs for Interferon Beta • Stabilizes blood-brain barrier • May alter adhesion molecule expression and T-cell adhesion to blood-brain barrier3,4,7 • Inhibits matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) production and MMP’s effects on blood-brain barrier permeability1,2,4,8 • Upregulates CD73 on endothelial cells, which inhibits CD4+ cell transmigration into parenchyma9

  4. MOAs for Glatiramer Acetate • Binds to class I and II MHC10-12 • Competes with and displaces antigen, eg, myelin basic protein (MBP), from MHC11,13 • May be T-cell receptor antagonist of MBP (controversial)14 • Inhibits MBP reactivity at level of cytokine secretion15 but not proliferation16,17 (frequency of this is not certain) • Shifts cytokines • Modulates antigen-presenting cells, which influences T-cells toward Th218,19 • Promotes Th1 to Th2 shift in periphery19-21 • Promotes Th2 cells that secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines and neurotrophic factors in CNS13

  5. MOAs for Glatiramer Acetate • Modulates other functions of monocytes13 • Upregulates CD8+ cells (Tregs)12,22 • Restores Treg cell function, including CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Tregs19 • Promotes secretion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and other growth factors and cytokines13,23 • Downregulates chemokine receptors that help draw Th1 cells to sites of inflammation24 • Induces clonal anergy and/or clonal deletion via apoptosis of CD4+ T-cells25-27 • Induces antiglatiramer antibodies that may promote remyelination and do not diminish glatiramer efficacy28

  6. MOAs for Natalizumab • Binds to a4b1and a4b7integrins expressed on leukocytes29 • Inhibits binding to ligands (VCAM-1 and MAdCAM-1) on vascular endothelial cells, reducing migration of these cells into CNS29 • Preferentially inhibits effector T-cells, not Tregs30 • Inhibits leukocyte inflammatory activity and recruitment of activated immune cells, as a result of inhibiting integrin/CAM binding29 • Affects B-cell production or migration30 • Has downstream effects on gene regulation31

  7. MOAs for Mitoxantrone • Intercalates into DNA through hydrogen binding causing crosslinks and strand breaks32 • Interferes with RNA32 • Inhibits topoisomerase II (which uncoils and repairs damaged DNA)32 • Has cytocidal effects on proliferating and nonproliferating cells32 • Decreases proliferation and functions of T-cells, B-cells, and macrophages, including proinflammatory cytokine secretion32,33 • Induces apoptosis of antigen-presenting cells33 • Inhibits macrophage-mediated myelin degradation34 • Decreases CXCR235 • Increases number of naive CD8+ cells36

  8. MOAs for Rituximab • Targets anti-CD20 surface molecule onB-cells and some immature B-cells (not on plasma cells)37 • Reduces B-cell numbers in periphery and CSF37 • May eventually reduce plasma cells38 and Ig39 • Inhibition of B-cell functions unrelated to function of plasmablasts and plasma cells40 • Antigen presentation • Cytokine secretion • Apparent effect on blood-brain barrier

  9. MOAs of Investigational Therapies in MS • Cladribine: antimetabolite; reduces number ofT-cells; some preferential effect on CD4+ cells41 • Laquinimod: uncertain, but some effect on Th1to Th2 shift42 • Teriflunomide: antimetabolite; inhibits pyrimidine synthesis43 • Fingolimod: agonist and perhaps indirect antagonist of S1P1 and related receptors on inflammatory cells44 • Prevents emigration from secondary lymphoid organs44 • Receptors are also on neurons, glia, and vascular cells44

  10. MOAs of Investigational Monoclonal Antibodies • Alemtuzumab • Binds to CD52 surface molecule on T-cells, B-cells, monocytes, and eosinophils37 • Induces cell death37 • Daclizumab • Binds to IL-2RaCD25)which is upregulated on activated and autoreactive T-cells37 but also highly expressed on Tregs (eg, CD4+CD25+FoxP3+Tregs) • Increases CD56 NK cells (which have immunoregulatory functions)37
