Abstract

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multifactorial, multisystem pro-inflammatory neuromuscular disorder. Activation of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), and its ligands, programmed cell death-ligand 1 and 2 (PD-L1/L2), leads to immune suppression. Serum soluble forms of these proteins, sPD-1/sPD-L1/sPD-L2, inhibit this suppression and promote pro-inflammatory responses. The purpose of this study was to determine if sPD-1, sPD-L1, and sPD-L2 were increased in sera of patients with ALS. sPD-1 and sPD-L2 were elevated in sera of patients and accurately reflected patients’ disease burdens. Increased sera levels of programmed cell death proteins reinforce the concept that peripheral pro-inflammatory responses contribute to systemic inflammation in patients with ALS.
