摘要

Background and Objectives

Autoantibodies to leucine-rich glioma inactivated protein 1 (LGI1) cause an autoimmune limbic encephalitis with frequent focal seizures and anterograde memory dysfunction. LGI1 is a neuronal secreted linker protein with 2 functional domains: the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) and epitempin (EPTP) regions. LGI1 autoantibodies are known to interfere with presynaptic function and neuronal excitability; however, their epitope-specific mechanisms are incompletely understood.

Methods

We used patient-derived monoclonal autoantibodies (mAbs), which target either LRR or EPTP domains of LGI1 to investigate long-term antibody-induced alteration of neuronal function. LRR- and EPTP-specific effects were evaluated by patch-clamp recordings in cultured hippocampal neurons and compared with biophysical neuron modeling. Kv1.1 channel clustering at the axon initial segment (AIS) was quantified by immunocytochemistry and structured illumination microscopy techniques.

Results

Both EPTP and LRR domain-specific mAbs decreased the latency of first somatic action potential firing. However, only the LRR-specific mAbs increased the number of action potential firing together with enhanced initial instantaneous frequency and promoted spike-frequency adaptation, which were less pronounced after the EPTP mAb. This also led to an effective reduction in the slope of ramp-like depolarization in the subthreshold response, suggesting Kv1 channel dysfunction. A biophysical model of a hippocampal neuron corroborated experimental results and suggests that an isolated reduction of the conductance of Kv1-mediated K+ currents largely accounts for the antibody-induced alterations in the initial firing phase and spike-frequency adaptation. Furthermore, Kv1.1 channel density was spatially redistributed from the distal toward the proximal site of AIS under LRR mAb treatment and, to a lesser extant, under EPTP mAb.

Discussion

These findings indicate an epitope-specific pathophysiology of LGI1 autoantibodies. The pronounced neuronal hyperexcitability and SFA together with dropped slope of ramp-like depolarization after LRR-targeted interference suggest disruption of LGI1-dependent clustering of K+ channel complexes. Moreover, considering the effective triggering of action potentials at the distal AIS, the altered spatial distribution of Kv1.1 channel density may contribute to these effects through impairing neuronal control of action potential initiation and synaptic integration.
