Journal: HERV Dysregulation in a Case of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Multiple Sclerosis Responsive to Rituximab. (Pubmed Central) - May 28, 2025 Limitations of the study include sub-optimal frequency of magnetic resonance imaging to monitor lesion progression, and similarly for reassessment of HERV profiles after rituximab. Overall, the coincidence of HERV alterations and the impactful response to rituximab presents the possibility of additional, more specific, therapeutic targets encoded by other HERV elements yet to be discovered.

GNK-301 a therapeutic antibody neutralizing HERV-K ENV for precision medicine in sporadic ALS (Poster Hall at the Palais de Congres Montreal; 517b/c) - Nov 7, 2024 - Abstract #ALSMND2024ALS_MND_526; Combining our therapeutic and diagnostic tools for clinical trials in sporadic ALS with principles of precision medicine is expected to allow identifying patients who could benefit from this targeted treatment and to avoid the now debated heterogeneity of ALS subtypes. However, this may also reinforce the need for using such diagnostic tests for an early detection and treatment in patients whose clinical deficits may not be reversible after a certain period and an extended loss of motoneurons.

Review, Journal: Mycobacterium paratuberculosis: A HERV Turn-On for Autoimmunity, Neurodegeneration, and Cancer? (Pubmed Central) - Sep 29, 2024 This article further points to MAP infection as a contributor to autoimmunity, neurodegenerative disease and cancer via the un-silencing of HERV. We examine the link between the ever-increasing number of MAP-associated diseases and the MAP/HERV intersection with these diverse medical conditions, and propose treatment opportunities based upon this association.

Journal: CancerHERVdb: Human Endogenous Retrovirus (HERV) Expression Database for Human Cancer Accelerates Studies of the Retrovirome and Predictions for HERV-Based Therapies. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 3, 2023 In our report, we provide examples of potential uses of the CancerHERVdb, such as identification of cancers suitable for off-target treatment with the multiple sclerosis-associated retrovirus (MSRV)-Env-targeting antibody GNbAC1 (now named temelimab) currently in phase 2b clinical trials for multiple sclerosis or the discovery of cancers overexpressing HERV-H long terminal repeat-associating 2 (HHLA2), a newly emerging immune checkpoint...Therefore, the CancerHERVdb database can aid in the identification of prognostic and risk markers, drivers of cancer, tumor-specific targets, multicancer spanning signals, and targets for immune therapies. Consequently, the CancerHERVdb database is of direct relevance for clinical as well as basic research.

Review, Journal: Promising role of temelimab in multiple sclerosis treatment. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 9, 2022 Our analysis showed statistically non-significant Risk Ratio (RR) of Adverse events in Temelimab group than that in placebo group (1.01 [0.70,1.46]; p-value = 0.94; I = 0%) . Considering the effect of Temelimab on brain lesions, pooled result showed statistically significant Risk Ratio (RR) of brain lesions in placebo group than that in Temelimab group (0.75 [0.69,0.81), p-value < 0.00001, I = 0% Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the trials assessing the safety and efficacy of Temelimab demonstrate that the drug is safe as well as favourable for use in MS patients.

Journal: HERV-W Envelope Triggers Abnormal Dopaminergic Neuron Process through DRD2/PP2A/AKT1/GSK3 for Schizophrenia Risk. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 1, 2022 In conclusion, we uncovered a relationship between HERV-W ENV and the dopaminergic system in the DA neurons. Considering that GNbAC1, a selective monoclonal antibody to the MSRV-specific epitope, has been promised as a therapy for treating type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis (MS) in clinical trials, understanding the precise function of HERV-W ENV in the dopaminergic system may provide new insights into the treatment of schizophrenia.
