Abstract
Immune-mediated neuropathy (IMN) is a group of heterogenous neuropathies caused by intricate autoimmune responses. For now, known mechanisms of different IMN subtypes involve the production of autoantibodies, complement activation, enhanced inflammation and subsequent axonal/demyelinating nerve damages. Recent therapeutic studies mainly focus on specific antibodies and small molecule inhibitors previously approved in rheumatoid diseases. Initial strategies based on the pathophysiologic features of IMN should be explored. Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) refers to the emerging immunotherapies in which circulating immunocytes are collected from peripheral blood and modified with killing and immunomodulatory capacities. It consists of chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy, T cell receptor-engineered T cell, CAR-Natural killer cell therapy, and others. In the last decade, ACT has demonstrated extraordinary potentials in treating cancers, infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. Versatile combinations of targets, chimeric domains and effector cells greatly empower ACT to treat complicated immune disorders. In this review, we summarized the advances of ACT and envisioned suitable strategies for different IMN subtypes.
