Dual-Targeted Autoimmune Sword in Fatal Epilepsy: Patient's glutamate receptor AMPA GluR3B peptide autoimmune antibodies bind, induce Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in, and kill both human neural cells and T cells.
Levite M, Zelig D, Friedman A, Ilouz N, Eilam R, Bromberg Z, Ramadhan Lasu AA, Arbel-Alon S, Edvardson S, Tarshish M, Riek LP, Lako RL, Reubinoff B, Lebendiker M, Yaish D, Stavsky A, Galun E. Levite M, et al. J Autoimmun. 2020 Aug;112:102462. doi: 10.1016/j.jaut.2020.102462. Epub 2020 Apr 10. J Autoimmun. 2020. PMID: 32561150
Autoimmune epilepsy: some epilepsy patients harbor autoantibodies to glutamate receptors and dsDNA on both sides of the blood-brain barrier, which may kill neurons and decrease in brain fluids after hemispherotomy.
Ganor Y, Goldberg-Stern H, Amrom D, Lerman-Sagie T, Teichberg VI, Pelled D, Futerman AH, Zeev BB, Freilinger M, Verheulpen D, Van Bogaert P, Levite M. Ganor Y, et al. Among authors: levite m. Clin Dev Immunol. 2004 Sep-Dec;11(3-4):241-52. doi: 10.1080/17402520400001736. Clin Dev Immunol. 2004. PMID: 15559370 Free PMC article.
Glutamate receptor antibodies in neurological diseases: anti-AMPA-GluR3 antibodies, anti-NMDA-NR1 antibodies, anti-NMDA-NR2A/B antibodies, anti-mGluR1 antibodies or anti-mGluR5 antibodies are present in subpopulations of patients with either: epilepsy, encephalitis, cerebellar ataxia, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and neuropsychiatric SLE, Sjogren's syndrome, schizophrenia, mania or stroke. These autoimmune anti-glutamate receptor antibodies can bind neurons in few brain regions, activate glutamate receptors, decrease glutamate receptor's expression, impair glutamate-induced signaling and function, activate blood brain barrier endothelial cells, kill neurons, damage the brain, induce behavioral/psychiatric/cognitive abnormalities and ataxia in animal models, and can be removed or silenced in some patients by immunotherapy.
