Recently a new category of treatment-responsive encephalitis has been proposed associated with antibodies against neuronal cell membrane antigens, including VGKC, NMDA receptor (NMDAR) and AMPA receptor. Anti-NMDAR encephalitis is caused by the antibodies, which bind to extracellular conformal epitope in the NR1/NR2 heteromers of the NMDAR. The antibodies are usually detected in CSF/serum of young women with ovarian teratoma (OT), who typically developed schizophrenia-like psychiatric symptoms. Most patients developed seizures, followed by unresponsive/catatonic state, central hypoventilation, and bizarre orofacial-limb dyskinesias. Based on symptomatology and current NMDAR hypofunction hypothesis in schizophrenia, we speculated that the antibodies might cause inhibition of NMDAR in presynaptic GABAergic interneurons, causing a reduction of release of GABA. This results in disinhibition of postsynaptic glutamatergic transmission, excessive release of glutamate in the prefrontal/subcortical structures, and glutamate/dopamine dysregulation. Recent studies demonstrated that the antibodies cause reversible reduction in the numbers of cell-surface NMDAR and NMDAR clusters in postsynaptic dendrites, suggesting antibodies-mediated decreased function of NMDAR. Early tumor resection with immunotherapy is recommended in OT-positive cases but not in OT-negative cases. However, exploratory laparotomy may increase the chance to identify microscopic teratoma and improve the outcome if patients who were refractory to immunotherapy had anti-NMDAR antibodies and ovarian cyst.

一連の抗神経細胞表面抗原抗体の発見により,脳炎自体の疾患概念も10年で大きく変化し,「自己免疫性脳炎(autoimmune encephalitis; AE)の診断に対する臨床的アプローチ」が提唱された.現在では,脳炎・脱髄重複症候群,てんかん,精神症状,異常運動,単純ヘルペス後脳炎,stiff-person症候群あるいは睡眠行動異常症の一部にもこれらの抗体が関与していることが示され,疾患の既成概念や画像所見にとらわれることなく,早期診断・早期治療することが求められる時代になった.AEの診断・治療上,本邦においては解決すべき課題は沢山あるが,本稿では,橋本脳症や新規発症難治性てんかん重積も含め,実臨床に関連のある話題に焦点を絞って述べる.

After the discovery of new class of autoantibodies against neuronal cell surface antigens and synaptic proteins (NSA–antibodies), the concept of encephalitis has dramatically changed. Encephalitis can be divided into infectious and autoimmune (non–infectious) groups. Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) may have autoantibodies against intracellular onconeuronal antigens (e.g. Hu, Yo, Ri, CV2/CRMP5, Ma2, amphiphysin) or NSA (e.g. NMDAR, AMAPAR, GABAaR, GABAbR, DPPX). Most of the former antibodies are not pathogenic but are used as a biomarker of classical paraneoplastic neurological syndromes, whereas IgG NSA–antibodies are more likely pathogenic, and the presence of the antibodies implies that patients may respond to immunotherapy. With infectious etiologies in mind previous diagnostic criteria for encephalitis has been made based on fever, mental status changes, inflammatory CSF, and brain MRI and EEG abnormalities ; however, these abnormalities may not be present in patients with NSA antibody–positive AE. Although early initiation of immunotherapy is often emphasized in AE, antibody testing is not readily accessible in most situation, thus initiation of immunotherapy may be delayed. Therefore, in 2016, a practical diagnostic approach to AE was proposed to achieve prompt immunotherapy at 3 levels of evidence for AE (possible, probable, and definite) with several new diagnostic criteria. A recent study showed that diffuse brain atrophy in anti–NMDAR encephalitis can be reversible and does not imply a poor clinical outcome. In contrast, cerebellar atrophy was irreversible and associated with a poor outcome. First–line immunotherapy can be started depending on the severity of patients with possible AE at early stage while excluding alternative diagnosis, but the second–line immunotherapy should be carefully used after confirming the NMDAR–antibodies in CSF with appropriate testing.In this lecture, I focus on anti–NMDAR encephalitis and talk about a potential pitfall in clinical diagnosis of the disease.

After the discovery of new class of autoantibodies against neuronal cell surface antigens or synaptic proteins (NSA), the concept of acute encephalitis has dramatically changed. Encephalitis can be divided into infectious and autoimmune encephalitis (AE). AE may have autoantibodies against intracellular onconeuronal antigens (e.g. Hu, Yo, Ri, CRMP5, Ma2), intracellular synaptic proteins (e.g. amphiphysin, GAD65) or NSA (e.g. NMDAR, AMAPAR, GABAaR, GABAbR, LGI1, Caspr2, DPPX).Most of the classic paraneoplastic anti–neuronal antibodies are less likely pathogenic but IgG NSA antibodies are more likely pathogenic, and the presence of the NSA antibodies implies that patients may respond to immunotherapy. Although early initiation of immunotherapy is often emphasized in AE, antibody testing is not readily accessible in most situation, thus initiation of immunotherapy may be delayed. In 2016, a practical diagnostic approach to AE was published as a position paper in Lancet Neurology to achieve prompt immunotherapy at 3 levels of evidence for AE (possible, probable, and definite) with several new diagnostic criteria including possible AE, probable AE, probable and definite anti–NMDAR encephalitis, autoimmune limbic encephalitis, ADEM, and Hashimoto encephalopathy.In this lecture, I focus on recent progress in antibody–mediated encephalitis, stiff–person spectrum disorder, and cryptogenic new–onset refractory status epilepticus (C–NORSE) with development of a clinically–based score that predicts C–NORSE.

It has been demonstrated that neuronal surface (NS) antibodies play an important role in the pathophysiology of various neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, including non–infectious/post–infectious encephalitis, first–episode psychosis, epileptic and non–epileptic seizures, atypical demyelinating syndrome, post–partum psychosis, progressive dementia, involuntary movements (orofacial–limb dyskinesias, faciobrachial dystonic seizures, catatonia, rigidity, stiffness, tremors, myoclonus, chorea, stereotypies, oculomotor abnormalities), and non–REM/REM sleep disorder. IgG NS antibodies are considered more likely to be pathogenic, accordingly the presence of NS antibodies supports early initiation of immunotherapy. In 2016, a practical diagnostic approach to autoimmune encephalitis (AE) was proposed to achieve prompt immunotherapy at 3 levels of evidence for AE (possible, probable, and definite) with diagnostic criteria for possible AE, probable AE, probable and definite anti–NMDAR encephalitis, autoimmune limbic encephalitis, ADEM, and Hashimoto encephalopathy. Identification of autoantibodies against NS or intracellular antigens is crucial in making a diagnosis ; however, the antibody testing results should be carefully assessed especially when measured with commercial assay alone.In this lecture, I focus on recent progress in AE, and its related disorder including cryptogenic new–onset refractory status epilepticus.

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is a new category of treatment-responsive encephalitis associated with "anti-NMDAR antibodies," which bind to extracellular conformal epitope in the NR1/NR2 heteromers of the NMDAR. The antibodies are usually detected in CSF/serum of young women with ovarian teratoma, who typically developed schizophrenia-like psychiatric symptoms, usually preceded by viral infection-like illness. Most cases developed seizures, followed by unresponsive/catatonic state, decreased level of consciousness, central hypoventilation, orofacial-limb dyskinesias, and autonomic symptoms. Brain MRI is often unremarkable. CSF reveals nonspecific changes. EEG shows diffuse delta slowing. The pathogenesis remains unknown, however this disorder is considered as an antibodies-mediated encephalitis. The prodromal"viral-like"disorder by itself or in combination with a teratoma sets off the autoimmune response. The antibodies bind to the common autoantigens expressed on the cell membrane of the neurons in the forebrain/hippocampus. Based on the current NMDAR hypofunction hypothesis of schizophrenia, we speculate that the antibodies may cause inhibition of NMDAR, rather than stimulation, in presynaptic GABAergic interneurons, causing a reduction of release of GABA. This results in disinhibition of postsynaptic glutamatergic transmission, excessive release of glutamate in the prefrontal/subcortical structures, and glutamate and dopamine dysregulation that might contribute to development of schizophrenia-like psychosis and bizarre dyskinesias.
