Neuromyelitis spectrum disease (NMOSD) is an immune-mediated inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. The breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), as an important link in the pathogenesis of NMOSD, has an important impact on the occurrence, development and prognosis of the disease. It is generally believed that the aquaporin 4 antibody produced in the peripheral circulation crosses the BBB cause damage to the central nervous system, and there are components involved in the destruction of BBB in the occurrence and development of NMOSD disease. At present, little is known about the molecular mechanism of BBB destruction in NMOSD lesions and there is still a lack of systematic theory. Further research and exploration of the regulatory mechanism of BBB permeability and the manifestation of barrier destruction in NMOSD diseases are of great significance for understanding the pathogenesis of NMOSD, so as to achieve early diagnosis and discover new therapeutic and preventive targets.
