Molecular disease mechanisms of human antineuronal monoclonal autoantibodies

Sophie L. Duong et al.

Summary: Autoantibodies targeting brain antigens can cause a wide range of neurological symptoms, and the study on disease mechanisms has been limited due to lack of human material and disease-specific autoantibodies. The emerging patient-derived monoclonal autoantibodies (mAbs) offer a new platform for detailed characterization of immunobiology and autoantibody pathogenicity. This review discusses the recent advances in mAb generation and their potential applications in high-resolution imaging, target identification, structural analysis, and immunotherapy development.

In utero exposure to maternal anti-aquaporin-4 antibodies alters brain vasculature and neural dynamics in male mouse offspring

Simone Mader et al.

Summary: The exposure of the fetal brain to maternal IgG before the formation of an effective blood-brain barrier can have consequences on brain development. In this study, the researchers found that exposure to an antibody against AQP4 protein in the fetal brain led to abnormal cortical vasculature, impaired WNT signaling, increased blood flow, and leakiness of the blood-brain barrier in adult mice. These mice also exhibited behavioral impairments and disturbances in the grid cell system within the entorhinal cortex.

Maternal immune activation and neuroinflammation in human neurodevelopmental disorders

Velda X. Han et al.

Summary: Maternal inflammation during pregnancy can impact fetal neurodevelopment, increasing the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring. In addition to inflammation, epigenetic factors are also recognized to play a role in NDD pathogenesis.

Autoantibodies in neurological disease

Harald Pruess

Summary: The realization of the impact of autoantibodies on brain function has led to a paradigm shift in neurological diseases, providing new insights into central nervous system autoimmunity and driving clinical and experimental research. While specific autoantibodies have been identified, the search for more continues with promising results.

Placental transfer of NMDAR antibodies causes reversible alterations in mice

Anna Garcia-Serra et al.

Summary: The transfer of maternal antibodies through the placenta to the fetal brain resulted in severe but reversible synaptic and neurodevelopmental alterations. Offspring exposed to patient antibodies in utero showed various behavioral and neurodevelopmental abnormalities during the prenatal period, which gradually improved over time during follow-up, eventually becoming similar to control animals.
