研究論文(学術雑誌), Clinical diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is difficult due to various phenotypes. Neuropathologically, PSP is defined by neuronal loss in the basal ganglia and brainstem with widespread occurrence of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and accumulation of phosphorylated tau protein in neurons and glial cells in the brain. We previously identified the point mutation p.Pro3866Ala in the Bassoon (BSN) gene in a Japanese family with PSP‐like syndrome. We newly detected BSN mutations in two autopsied PSP cases carrying p.Thr2542Met and p.Glu2759Gly, respectively. The case with p.Thr2542Met mutation showed neurological symptoms including behavioral abnormalities, cognitive dysfunction, and parkinsonism. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed atrophy of the midbrain tegmentum and hippocampus. Pathologically, moderate to severe loss of neurons with gliosis was also found in the substantia nigra, and there was an almost complete loss of neurons with gliosis in the transitional zone of the cornu ammonis (CA) 1 region to the subiculum. NFTs were observed in the globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, substantia nigra, and CA1. 4R tau‐dominant tauopathy was detected. The case with p.Glu2759Gly mutation showed neurological symptoms, including right‐dominant motor impairment, right limping gait, postural instability, and cognitive dysfunction. Brain MRI showed mild atrophy of the midbrain tegmentum and left‐dominant parietal lobe atrophy. Pathologically, NFTs were detected in the globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, substantia nigra, thalamus, putamen, and brainstem tegmentum. Most neurons were immunopositive for four‐repeat tau, whereas only a few of them harbored three‐repeat tau‐positive NFTs in the hippocampus. We showed the results of a pathological study of PSP cases with BSN mutations; these were two new cases. The clinical phenotypes were similar to the first case in the point of neurological symptoms. Accumulation of four‐repeat tau was dominant. Further autopsies of BSN mutation cases and further elucidation of the molecular biological mechanism are desirable. - 脳炎・肥厚性硬膜炎【WS】免疫沈降法とショットガンプロテオミクスによる自己抗体測定方法の開発

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), POEMS syndrome is often associated with a poor prognosis. Elevated serum vascular endothelial growth factor (sVEGF) is a useful diagnostic marker with high sensitivity and specificity. However, the relationship between sVEGF elevation and polyneuropathy in POEMS syndrome remains controversial. We herein report a case of polyneuropathy without sVEGF elevation at the first admission. However, at 21 months after the onset, the patient tested positive for sVEGF and was diagnosed with POEMS syndrome. Therefore, it is important to repeatedly measure sVEGF levels in patients with polyneuropathy with an atypical course when POEMS syndrome is suspected, even if the initial sVEGF level is normal. - Feasibility of differentiating gait in Parkinson's disease and spinocerebellar degeneration using a pose estimation algorithm in two-dimensional video.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: Although pose estimation algorithms have been used to analyze videos of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) to assess symptoms, their feasibility for differentiating PD from other neurological disorders that cause gait disturbances has not been evaluated yet. We aimed to determine whether it was possible to differentiate between PD and spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) by analyzing video recordings of patient gait using a pose estimation algorithm. METHODS: We videotaped 82 patients with PD and 61 patients with SCD performing the timed up-and-go test. A pose estimation algorithm was used to extract the coordinates of 25 key points of the participants from these videos. A transformer-based deep neural network (DNN) model was trained to predict PD or SCD using the extracted coordinate data. We employed a leave-one-participant-out cross-validation method to evaluate the predictive performance of the trained model using accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. As there were significant differences in age, weight, and body mass index between the PD and SCD groups, propensity score matching was used to perform the same experiment in a population that did not differ in these clinical characteristics. RESULTS: The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the trained model were 0.86, 0.94, and 0.75 for all participants and 0.83, 0.88, and 0.78 for the participants extracted by propensity score matching. CONCLUSION: The differentiation of PD and SCD using key point coordinates extracted from gait videos and the DNN model was feasible and could be used as a collaborative tool in clinical practice and telemedicine. - 血清VEGF値の陽転化で診断に至ったPOEMS症候群の1例

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: Although pure GAA expansion is considered pathogenic in SCA27B, non-GAA repeat motif is mostly mixed into longer repeat sequences. This study aimed to unravel the complete sequencing of FGF14 repeat expansion to elucidate its repeat motifs and pathogenicity. METHODS: We screened FGF14 repeat expansion in a Japanese cohort of 460 molecularly undiagnosed adult-onset cerebellar ataxia patients and 1022 controls, together with 92 non-Japanese controls, and performed nanopore sequencing of FGF14 repeat expansion. RESULTS: In the Japanese population, the GCA motif was predominantly observed as the non-GAA motif, whereas the GGA motif was frequently detected in non-Japanese controls. The 5'-common flanking variant was observed in all Japanese GAA repeat alleles within normal length, demonstrating its meiotic stability against repeat expansion. In both patients and controls, pure GAA repeat was up to 400 units in length, whereas non-pathogenic GAA-GCA repeat was larger, up to 900 units, but they evolved from different haplotypes, as rs534066520, located just upstream of the repeat sequence, completely discriminated them. Both (GAA)≥250 and (GAA)≥200 were enriched in patients, whereas (GAA-GCA)≥200 was similarly observed in patients and controls, suggesting the pathogenic threshold of (GAA)≥200 for cerebellar ataxia. We identified 14 patients with SCA27B (3.0%), but their single-nucleotide polymorphism genotype indicated different founder alleles between Japanese and Caucasians. The low prevalence of SCA27B in Japanese may be due to the lower allele frequency of (GAA)≥250 in the Japanese population than in Caucasians (0.15% vs 0.32%-1.26%). CONCLUSIONS: FGF14 repeat expansion has unique features of pathogenicity and allelic origin, as revealed by a single ethnic study. - Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Complicated by Anti-GABAB Receptor Encephalitis.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A 74-year-old man experienced diplopia, generalized muscle weakness, and acute respiratory failure. He was diagnosed with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) and treated with immunotherapy, but no improvement was observed, and additional symptoms, including central apnea and hallucinations, appeared. Subsequent serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analyses confirmed the presence of GABAB receptor antibodies, indicating the coexistence of autoimmune encephalitis. Although there were no findings of malignancy, it is highly likely that occult small-cell lung carcinoma was present. When atypical symptoms occur in patients with LEMS, it is important to consider the possibility of concomitant autoimmune encephalitis. - Spinocerebellar ataxia type 4 is not detected in a cohort from Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Tauopathy is known to be a major pathognomonic finding in important neurodegenerative diseases such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration. However, the mechanism by which tauopathy is triggered remains to be elucidated. We previously identified the point mutation c.11596C > G, p.Pro3866Ala in the Bassoon gene (BSN) in a Japanese family with PSP-like syndrome. We showed that mutated BSN may have been involved in its own insolubilization and tau accumulation. Furthermore, BSN mutations have also been related to various neurological diseases. In order to further investigate the pathophysiology of BSN mutation in detail, it is essential to study it in mouse models. We generated a mouse model with the mouse Bassoon p.P3882A mutation, which corresponds to the human BSN p.P3866A mutation, knock-in (KI) and we performed systematic behavioral and histological analyses. Behavioral analyses revealed impaired working memory in a Y-maze test at 3 months of age and decreased locomotor activity in the home cage at 3 and 12 months of age in KI mice compared to those in wild-type mice. Although no obvious structural abnormalities were observed at 3 months of age, immunohistochemical studies showed elevation of Bsn immunoreactivity in the hippocampus and neuronal loss without tau accumulation in the substantia nigra at 12 months of age in KI mice. Although our mice model did not show progressive cognitive dysfunction and locomotor disorder like PSP-like syndrome, dopaminergic neuronal loss was observed in the substantia nigra in 12-month-old KI mice. It is possible that BSN mutation may result in dopaminergic neuronal loss without locomotor symptoms due to the early disease stage. Thus, further clinical course can induce cognitive dysfunction and locomotor symptoms. - A retrospective study of autoimmune cerebellar ataxia over a 20-year period in a single institution.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: It is important to differentiate autoimmune cerebellar ataxia (ACA) from neurodegenerative CA, but this is sometimes difficult. We performed a retrospective study in a single institution in Japan over a 20-year period to reveal the clinical features of ACA. METHODS: Patients with CA as the primary neurological symptom were enrolled from those admitted to the Department of Neurology, Hokkaido University Hospital between April 2002 and March 2022. ACA was diagnosed retrospectively according to the following criteria: (1) CA being the predominant symptom; (2) identification of cancer within 2 years of onset; (3) improvement in cerebellar symptoms following immunotherapy; and (4) ruling out alternative causes of CA. Patients fulfilling criteria (1), (2), and (4) were classified as paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD), while those fulfilling (1), (3), and (4) were classified as non-PCD and enrolled as patients with ACA. Neurodegenerative diseases, e.g., multiple system atrophy (MSA), were confirmed retrospectively based on generally used diagnostic criteria and enrolled. Furthermore, the ACA diagnostic criteria proposed by Dalmau and Graus were applied retrospectively to the ACA patients to examine the validity of the diagnoses. RESULTS: Among the 243 patients with CA, 13 were enrolled as ACA; five were PCD and eight were non-PCD. Eight of these cases met the proposed diagnostic criteria by Dalmau and Graus. MSA was the most prevalent disease among CA patients, with 93 cases. The incidence of cerebellar atrophy was significantly lower in ACA (3/13) than in MSA (92/92). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis was significantly more frequent in ACA than in MSA (4/13 vs. 2/55, respectively). However, there was no significant difference in the presence of oligoclonal bands, increased protein in CSF, and laterality differences in ataxia. CONCLUSION: ACA was present in ~ 5% of Japanese CA patients. The absence of cerebellar atrophy, despite the presence of CA, strongly supports ACA over MSA. While CSF pleocytosis was observed more often in ACA, the positivity rate was only ~ 30%. Since ACA is treatable, further studies are needed to identify additional clinical features and accurate diagnostic biomarkers. - Differentiation of speech in Parkinson's disease and spinocerebellar degeneration using deep neural networks.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), INTRODUCTION: Assessing dysarthria features in patients with neurodegenerative diseases helps diagnose underlying pathologies. Although deep neural network (DNN) techniques have been widely adopted in various audio processing tasks, few studies have tested whether DNNs can help differentiate neurodegenerative diseases using patients' speech data. This study evaluated whether a DNN model using a transformer architecture could differentiate patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) from patients with spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) using speech data. METHODS: Speech data were obtained from 251 and 101 patients with PD and SCD, respectively, while they read a passage. We fine-tuned a pre-trained DNN model using log-mel spectrograms generated from speech data. The DNN model was trained to predict whether the input spectrogram was generated from patients with PD or SCD. We used fivefold cross-validation to evaluate the predictive performance using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. RESULTS: Average ± standard deviation of the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the trained model for the fivefold cross-validation were 0.93 ± 0.04, 0.87 ± 0.03, 0.83 ± 0.05, and 0.89 ± 0.05, respectively. CONCLUSION: The DNN model can differentiate speech data of patients with PD from that of patients with SCD with relatively high accuracy and AUC. The proposed method can be used as a non-invasive, easy-to-perform screening method to differentiate PD from SCD using patient speech and is expected to be applied to telemedicine. - Case series: Downbeat nystagmus in SCA27B.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) 27B, first reported in late 2022, is caused by the abnormal expansion of GAA repeats in the first intron of the FGF14 gene, which encodes the fibroblast growth factor 14. CASE PRESENTATION: We present two late-onset cases, each manifesting mild cerebellar ataxia accompanied by omnidirectional downbeat nystagmus, which was enhanced in a suspended head position. None of the patients exhibited impaired head impulse or caloric tests. Repeat-primed PCR and targeted long-read nanopore sequence analysis of the FGF14 GAA repeat site identified more than 250 repeats, leading to the diagnosis of SCA27B. DISCUSSION: Downbeat nystagmus is reported to be associated with disturbances in the suppression of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). Our patients with SCA27B demonstrated downbeat nystagmus, likely due to a disruption of the VOR at the level of the cerebellar cortex, a potentially characteristic clinical feature of SCA27B. We have included video footages of eye movements recorded using Frenzel goggles for these cases. CONCLUSIONS: Omnidirectional downbeat nystagmus may be a distinctive clinical feature of SCA27B. - 視神経乳頭炎で発症し,髄膜脳炎症状が軽微であった自己免疫性GFAPアストロサイトパチー(GFAP-A)の1例

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In Japan, approximately 30% of spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) is hereditary, and more than 90% of hereditary SCD is autosomal dominant SCD (AD-SCD). We have previously reported the types of AD-SCD in Hokkaido, twice. In this study, we investigated the status of AD-SCD mainly due to repeat expansions, covering the period since the last report. We performed genetic analysis for 312 patients with a clinical diagnosis of SCD, except for multiple system atrophy at medical institutions in Hokkaido between January 2007 and December 2020. The median age at the time of analysis was 58 (1-86) years. Pathogenic variants causing AD-SCD due to repeat expansion were found in 61.5% (192 cases). Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) 6 was the most common type in 25.3% (79 cases), followed by Machado-Joseph disease (MJD)/SCA3 in 13.8% (43), SCA1 in 6.4% (20), SCA2 in 5.1% (16), SCA31 in 4.8% (15), dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy in 4.8% (15), SCA7 in 0.6% (2), and SCA8 in 0.6% (2). SCA17, 27B, 36, and 37 were not found. Compared to previous reports, this study found a higher prevalence of SCA6 and a lower prevalence of MJD/SCA3. An increasing number of cases identified by genetic testing, including cases with no apparent family history, accurately revealed the distribution of disease types in Hokkaido. - Gait video-based prediction of unified Parkinson's disease rating scale score: a retrospective study.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and evaluation of its symptoms require in-person clinical examination. Remote evaluation of PD symptoms is desirable, especially during a pandemic such as the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. One potential method to remotely evaluate PD motor impairments is video-based analysis. In this study, we aimed to assess the feasibility of predicting the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) score from gait videos using a convolutional neural network (CNN) model. METHODS: We retrospectively obtained 737 consecutive gait videos of 74 patients with PD and their corresponding neurologist-rated UPDRS scores. We utilized a CNN model for predicting the total UPDRS part III score and four subscores of axial symptoms (items 27, 28, 29, and 30), bradykinesia (items 23, 24, 25, 26, and 31), rigidity (item 22) and tremor (items 20 and 21). We trained the model on 80% of the gait videos and used 10% of the videos as a validation dataset. We evaluated the predictive performance of the trained model by comparing the model-predicted score with the neurologist-rated score for the remaining 10% of videos (test dataset). We calculated the coefficient of determination (R2) between those scores to evaluate the model's goodness of fit. RESULTS: In the test dataset, the R2 values between the model-predicted and neurologist-rated values for the total UPDRS part III score and subscores of axial symptoms, bradykinesia, rigidity, and tremor were 0.59, 0.77, 0.56, 0.46, and 0.0, respectively. The performance was relatively low for videos from patients with severe symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the low predictive performance of the model for the total UPDRS part III score, it demonstrated relatively high performance in predicting subscores of axial symptoms. The model approximately predicted the total UPDRS part III scores of patients with moderate symptoms, but the performance was low for patients with severe symptoms owing to limited data. A larger dataset is needed to improve the model's performance in clinical settings. - 中枢神経感染症の診断と治療に対する髄液多項目核酸検査の効果

日本語, 74歳男。50歳頃に起立性低血圧や便秘などの自律神経症状が出現した。63歳時に静止的振戦と筋強剛が出現し、パーキンソン病と診断した。その後、認知機能障害と幻視が出現した。経過中にS状結腸捻転を繰り返し、今回、腹腔鏡下S状結腸切除術を施行され、切除標本の病理組織検査で神経叢にα-synucleinの沈着を認められた。本例の経験とこれまでの知見から、消化管神経叢におけるα-synucleinの沈着は、非運動症状を伴うパーキンソン病の進展と関連があることが示唆された。 - 肥厚性硬膜炎加療中に両下肢麻痺と進行性意識障害を呈した髄膜脳脊髄炎の1例

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Objective Hereditary ATTR (ATTRv) amyloidosis was once an incurable disease; however, in recent years, disease-modifying therapies, such as tafamidis and patisiran, have become available. We herein report the medical care situation in an ATTRv amyloidosis non-endemic area of Japan. Methods We confirmed the information in the medical records of our department and analyzed the data retrospectively. Patients Patients with ATTRv amyloidosis who were treated in our department between 2010 and 2021 were included. Results A total of 15 ATTRv amyloidosis cases (8 men and 7 women) were treated in our department during the study period; 9 patients had a family history, and the transthyretin V30M (p.V50M) gene mutation was present in 66% of cases. The average age of the onset was 57 years old, with 73% of the initial symptoms being dysesthesia and 13% being autonomic dysfunction. Ten patients were treated with tafamidis and nine with patisiran. Although it took a long time to start treatment among our experienced cases, there were some cases in which treatment could be introduced relatively early. Conclusion ATTRv amyloidosis is treatable and should be included in the differential diagnosis of neuropathy so that it can be diagnosed early and introduced into treatment. In the near future, the presymptomatic diagnosis of ATTRv amyloidosis and genetic counseling will become more important. - 抗ミトコンドリアM2抗体陽性筋炎17例の臨床的特徴

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), OBJECTIVE: In 2012, a large number of myositis cases with anti-mitochondrial M2 (AMA-M2) antibody, which had well been known as the serological hallmark for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), were reported in Japan. Recently, some case series from Japan, France, America, China and India have shown that approximately 2.5% to 19.5% of patients with myositis have AMA-M2 antibody. The objective of this study was to clarify the prevalence, clinical features, treatment outcome, and severity determinants of AMA-M2 positive myositis. METHODS: This study was a multicenter observational study. We enrolled patients who were diagnosed with myositis during a ten-year period between 2012 and 2021. RESULTS: Of the total of 185 patients with inflammatory myopathy, 17 patients were positive for AMA-M2 antibody. The typical symptoms were weakness mainly involving paravertebral muscles, weight loss, respiratory failure, and cardiac complications. Thirteen of the 17 patients had cardiac complications. A strong correlation was found between respiratory failure and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score. A strong correlation was also found between respiratory failure and body weight, indicating that weight loss can be an indicator of potential progression of respiratory failure. Six of the 17 patients were complicated by malignancy. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed significant correlations between % vital capacity (VC), body mass index (BMI), and mRS score in patients with AMA-M2-positive myositis. Immunotherapy often improved CK level and respiratory dysfunction. We therefore propose that %VC and BMI should be monitored as disease indicators in treatment of AMA-M2-positive myositis. - 胸腺腫摘除術後に発症した重症筋無力症の1例

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The identification of true substrates of an E3 ligase is biologically important but biochemically difficult. In recent years, several techniques for identifying substrates have been developed, but these approaches cannot exclude indirect ubiquitination or have other limitations. Here we develop an E3 ligase substrate-trapping strategy by fusing a tandem ubiquitin-binding entity (TUBE) with an anti-ubiquitin remnant antibody to effectively identify ubiquitinated substrates. We apply this method to one of the RBR-type ligases, Parkin, and to one of the RING-type ligases, TRIM28, and identify previously unknown substrates for TRIM28 including cyclin A2 and TFIIB. Furthermore, we find that TRIM28 promotes cyclin A2 ubiquitination and degradation at the G1/S phase and suppresses premature entry into S phase. Taken together, the results indicate that this method is a powerful tool for comprehensively identifying substrates of E3 ligases. - Relations of clinical symptoms with dopamine transporter imaging in drug-naïve Parkinson's disease.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to determine the relations of clinical symptoms with nigrostriatal neuron loss in drug-naïve patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). We examined the severity of motor symptoms and freezing of gait (FOG), falls and overactive bladder (OAB) in PD patients and their relations with striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) binding. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty-two untreated PD patients (14 men and 18 women with a mean age of 71.4 ± 7.2 years) were included in this study. Clinical assessments were performed by using Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS), and striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) binding was measured by123I-FP-CIT SPECT. RESULTS: The results showed that striatal DAT availability was significantly lower in the high UPDRS motor score group, high akinetic-rigid score group, FOG group, and OAB group than in the low UPDRS motor score group, low akinetic-rigid score group, non-FOG group, and non-OAB group. However, the results also showed that there was no significant difference in striatal DAT availability between the high tremor score group and low tremor score group or between the faller group and non-faller group. CONCLUSIONS: The severity of bradykinesia and axial symptoms and the existence of FOG and OAB in untreated PD patients are related to a decrease in striatal DAT availability. Severity of tremors and occurrence of falls are not related to a decrease in striatal DAT availability. The mechanisms underlying the clinical symptoms of PD involve not only dopaminergic pathways but also non-dopaminergic pathways. - Relationships of drooling with motor symptoms and dopamine transporter imaging in drug-naïve Parkinson's disease.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to determine the relationships of drooling with motor symptoms and nigrostriatal neuron loss in drug-naïve patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). We therefore examined the relationships of drooling with motor symptoms and striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) binding measured by [123-Iodine]-fluoropropyl-2beta-carbomethoxy-3beta-(4-iodophenylnortropane) dopamine transporter single-photon emission computed tomography(123I-FP-CIT SPECT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty-five untreated PD patients (14 men and 21 women with a mean age of 71.9 ± 7.2 years) were included in this study. The patients were divided into a drooler group and non-drooler group. They underwent clinical assessments and 123I-FP-CIT SPECT imaging. Motor symptoms were assessed using Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). RESULTS: The results showed that UPDRS motor score (p = 0.002) and akinetic-rigid score (p = 0.008) were higher and that striatal DAT availability (p = 0.03) was lower in the drooler group than in the non-drooler group. However, tremor score, age, and duration of PD showed no significant differences between the drooler group and non-drooler group. CONCLUSIONS: Drooling in untreated PD is related to an increase in motor symptoms (especially bradykinesia and axial symptoms) and to reduction of striatal DAT availability. - Incidence of anti-NMDAR encephalitis in patients undergoing resection of ovarian teratoma in a single institution

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), To explore non-motor comorbidities of myasthenia gravis (MG), we present two cases of thymoma-associated MG patients. Alopecia, pure red cell aplasia, and thymoma- associated multiorgan autoimmunity were observed in Case 1, and alopecia, thrombocytopenia, hypogammaglobulinemia and nephrotic syndrome were observed in Case 2. In both cases, autoreactive T lymphocytes inappropriately stimulated by thymus tissue may have played key roles in generating the various autoimmune-associated symptoms. Consequently, systemic immunological involvement due to the thymoma-associated breakdown of immunoregulations in both motor and non-motor systems should be considered in MG patients. - Mutations in COA7 cause spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Several genes related to mitochondrial functions have been identified as causative genes of neuropathy or ataxia. Cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor 7 (COA7) may have a role in assembling mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes that function in oxidative phosphorylation. Here we identified four unrelated patients with recessive mutations in COA7 among a Japanese case series of 1396 patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) or other inherited peripheral neuropathies, including complex forms of CMT. We also found that all four patients had characteristic neurological features of peripheral neuropathy and ataxia with cerebellar atrophy, and some patients showed leukoencephalopathy or spinal cord atrophy on MRI scans. Validated mutations were located at highly conserved residues among different species and segregated with the disease in each family. Nerve conduction studies showed axonal sensorimotor neuropathy. Sural nerve biopsies showed chronic axonal degeneration with a marked loss of large and medium myelinated fibres. An immunohistochemical assay with an anti-COA7 antibody in the sural nerve from the control patient showed the positive expression of COA7 in the cytoplasm of Schwann cells. We also observed mildly elevated serum creatine kinase levels in all patients and the presence of a few ragged-red fibres and some cytochrome c oxidase-negative fibres in a muscle biopsy obtained from one patient, which was suggestive of subclinical mitochondrial myopathy. Mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme assay in skin fibroblasts from the three patients showed a definitive decrease in complex I or complex IV. Immunocytochemical analysis of subcellular localization in HeLa cells indicated that mutant COA7 proteins as well as wild-type COA7 were localized in mitochondria, which suggests that mutant COA7 does not affect the mitochondrial recruitment and may affect the stability or localization of COA7 interaction partners in the mitochondria. In addition, Drosophila COA7 (dCOA7) knockdown models showed rough eye phenotype, reduced lifespan, impaired locomotive ability and shortened synaptic branches of motor neurons. Our results suggest that loss-of-function COA7 mutation is responsible for the phenotype of the presented patients, and this new entity of disease would be referred to as spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy type 3. - Relation of overactive bladder with motor symptoms and dopamine transporter imaging in drug-naïve Parkinson's disease.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Objectives: The aim of the present study was to determine the relation of urinary dysfunction with motor symptoms and nigrostriatal neuron loss in drug-naïve patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). We therefore examined the relation of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms with motor symptoms and striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) binding measured by [123-Iodine]-fluoropropyl-2beta-carbomethoxy-3beta-(4-iodophenylnortropane) dopamine transporter single-photon emission computed tomography (123I-FP-CIT SPECT). Patients and methods: Thirty-one untreated PD patients (12 men and 19 women with a mean age of 71.2 ± 6.7 years) were included in this study. Patients were evaluated with overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) and divided into an OAB group and Non-OAB group. They underwent clinical assessments and 123I-FP-CIT SPECT imaging. Motor symptoms were assessed using Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Results: The results showed that UPDRS motor score (p = 0.01) and akinetic-rigid score (p = 0.002) were higher and that striatal DAT availability (p = 0.01) was lower in the OAB group than in the Non-OAB group. However, tremor score, age, and duration of PD showed no significant differences between the OAB group and Non-OAB group. Conclusions: Urinary dysfunction in untreated PD is related with increase in motor symptoms (especially bradykinesia and axial symptoms) and reduction of striatal DAT availability. - Anti-Sez6l2 antibody detected in a patient with immune-mediated cerebellar ataxia inhibits complex formation of GluR1 and Sez6l2

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Clinical diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is sometimes difficult because various phenotypes have been identified. Here, we report a mutation in the bassoon (BSN) gene in a family with PSP-like syndrome. Their clinical features resembled not only those of PSP patients but also those of individuals with multiple system atrophy and Alzheimer's disease. The neuropathological findings showed a novel three + four repeat tauopathy with pallido-luysio-nigral degeneration and hippocampal sclerosis. Whole-exome analysis of this family identified a novel missense mutation in BSN. Within the pedigree, the detected BSN mutation was found only in affected individuals. Further genetic analyses were conducted in probands from four other pedigrees with PSP-like syndrome and in 41 sporadic cases. Three missense mutations in BSN that are very rarely listed in databases of healthy subjects were found in four sporadic cases. Western blot analysis of tau following the overexpression of wild-type or mutated BSN revealed the possibility that wild-type BSN reduced tau accumulation, while mutated BSN lost this function. An association between BSN and neurological diseases has not been previously reported. Our results revealed that the neurodegenerative disorder associated with the original proband's pedigree is a novel tauopathy, differing from known dementia and parkinsonism syndromes, including PSP. - Possible combined central and peripheral demyelination presenting as optic neuritis, cervical myelitis, and demyelinating polyneuropathy with marked nerve hypertrophy

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A 27-year-old woman with optic neuritis and cervical myelitis developed hypertrophic demyelinating polyneuropathy. It was hypothesized that the diagnosis was combined central and peripheral demyelination. A hypertrophic nerve was observed subcutaneously, and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated marked hypertrophy of the nerve roots. The patient was negative for anti-aquaporin 4 antibodies. Her anti-neurofascin 155 antibody levels was slightly elevated, but it was not definitely positive. Pulsed steroid therapy and the administration of immunoglobulin ameliorated her symptoms. Molecules in both the peripheral and central nervous systems might be target antigens, but further investigations will be needed to clarify the precise pathogenic mechanisms. - Fatal meningoencephalomyelitis due to the tick-borne encephalitis virus: The first detailed neurological observation in a Japanese patient from the central part of Hokkaido Island

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), To date, the only instance of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in Japan was reported from the southern part of Hokkaido Island in 1993
no other cases have been reported since then. We herein report the first case of TBE reported in the central part of Hokkaido Island, and describe the fatal clinical course of a patient who presented with meningoencephalomyelitis, which partly involved the nerve root. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the patient’s cranium and spine revealed characteristic central nervous system involvement. Our case report is extremely relevant to efforts to protect public health and for precautions against TBE pandemics. - A case of vogt-koyanagi-harada disease with multiple recurrences of meningitis

研究論文(学術雑誌), Purpose : To report a rare case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease with recurrent meningitis. Cases: A 16-year-old male presented with a 1-week history of conjunctival hyperemia and decreased vision in both eyes. He had been treated with the diagnosis of aseptic meningitis by a local neurologist one month before the presentation. Findings and Clinical Course: Ophthalmic examination showed iridocyclitis and optic disc hyperemia and swelling in both eyes. The diagnosis of incomplete VKH disease was made according to the additional examinations including fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and cerebrospinal fluid examination. High-dose corticosteroid therapy was initiated and tapered, which led to the improvement of uveitis. However, two times of recurrent meningitis without iridocyclitis were observed while the corticosteroid was tapered. Then he was treated with pulsed corticosteroid therapy, which led to the remission of meningitis and uveitis. Conclusion: We assumed that one of the reasons for the recurrent meningitis without definite uveitis may be the rapid tapering of corticosteroid. Another reason may be that the amount of corticosteroid to suppress the inflammation may be larger for the meningitis than that for the uveitis in this VKH patient. - Sez6l2 regulates phosphorylation of ADD and neuritogenesis

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Increasing evidence shows that immune-mediated mechanisms may contribute to the pathogenesis of central nervous system disorders including cerebellar ataxias, as indicated by the aberrant production of neuronal surface antibodies. We previously reported a patient with cerebellar ataxia associated with production of a new anti-neuronal antibody, anti-seizure-related 6 homolog like 2 (Sez6l2). Sez6l2 is a type 1 membrane protein that is highly expressed in the hippocampus and cerebellar cortex and mice lacking Sez6l2 protein family members develop ataxia. Here we used a proteomics-based approach to show that serum derived from this patient recognizes the extracellular domain of Sez6l2 and that Sez6l2 protein binds to both adducin (ADD) and glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1). Our results indicate that Sez6l2 is one of the auxiliary subunits of the AMPA receptor and acts as a scaffolding protein to link GluR1 to ADD. Furthermore, Sez6l2 overexpression upregulates ADD phosphorylation, whereas siRNA-mediated downregulation of Sez6l2 prevents ADD phosphorylation, suggesting that Sez6l2 modulates AMPAADD signal transduction.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), The patient was a woman without hypertension who had previously experienced intracranial hemorrhage twice at 48 and 56 years of age. At 59 years of age, she was diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) based on the presence of a brain stem lesion and the detection of anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibodies. After 5 months of continuous treatment with prednisolone (15 mg/day), she presented with optic neuritis and intracranial bleeding. A recurrent attack of NMOSD and intracranial hemorrhage were concurrently diagnosed. We herein report a case of NMOSD with recurrent intracranial hemorrhage, which indicates an association between NMOSD and cerebellar vascular dysfunction. - Urinary dysfunction and motor symptoms in untreated Parkinson's disease

We therefore examined the association between the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) and Unified Parlcinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Patients and methods: Thirty-one untreated PD patients without dementia (12 men and 19 women with a mean age of 72.0 +/- 6.7 years) were included in this study. Their urinary tract dysfunctions were rated using the OABSS. The motor symptoms of all patients were also assessed using UPDRS. Results: OABSS had significant correlations with UPDRS motor score (Spearman's rho = 0.39, p = 0.03) and akinetic-rigid score (Spearman's rho = 0.47, p = 0.01). However, OABSS showed no significant correlation with tremor score, age, or duration of PD. Conclusions: Higher OABSS was consistently associated with increase in severity of motor disorders, especially akineticrigid score, in the study participants. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), In rare instances, recipients of organ transplants from human T-lymphotropic virus type I- (HTLV-I-) positive donors reportedly developed neurologic symptoms due to HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (HAM). We present herein two cases of HAM associated with renal transplantation from HTLV-I seropositive living-donors. The first patient was a 42-year-old woman with chronic renal failure for twelve years and seronegative for HTLV-I. She underwent renal transplantation with her HTLV-I seropositive mother as the donor, and she developed HAM three years after the transplantation. The second patient was a 65-year-old man who had been suffering from diabetic nephropathy. He was seronegative for HTLV-I and underwent renal transplantation one year previously, with his HTLV-I seropositive wife as the donor. He developed HAM eight months after renal transplantation. Both cases showed neurological improvements after the immunomodulating therapies. We tried to shed some light on the understanding of immunological mechanisms of transplantation-associated HAM, focusing on therapeutic strategies based on the immunopathogenesis of the condition. - Importance of T1-MRI enhanced pyramidal tracts in differential diagnosis as to paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Objective Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory disease that affects the optic nerve and spinal cord. Optic neuritis and longitudinally extensive myelitis associated with systemic autoimmune disease have been recently defined as NMO spectrum disorder (NMOSD). In this study, we report the efficacy of intravenous cyclophosphamide (IVCY) therapy for NMOSD. Methods Four patients diagnosed with NMOSD were enrolled in this study. The expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score was used to evaluate the degree of severity. All of the patients received intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP
1 g/day for three days), and two patients also received plasmapheresis (PP). All of the patients were administered IVCY treatment. Results Anti-AQP4 antibodies were present in the sera of all patients. All patients exhibited longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM). Only one patient who fulfilled the criteria for a diagnosis of NMO exhibited optic neuritis. Two patients developed relapse under treatment with low-dose prednisolone (PSL) before the administration of IVCY. The patients in this study exhibited a median improvement in the EDSS score following IVCY treatment from 8.0 to 5. 75. Adverse effects were observed in only one patient. Conclusion This study, despite its retrospective design, demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of IVCY for NMOSD in both the acute and chronic phases of the disease and determined the IVCY dosage for Japanese women with NMOSD. Additionally, this study provided evidence that for NMOSD patients with severe disabilities, IVCY added to IVMP and PP may be a useful therapeutic modality. © 2013 The Japanese Society of Internal Medicine. - Pathological study of subacute autoimmune encephalopathy with anti-AQP4 antibodies in a pregnant woman

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A pregnant woman with extensive brain lesions on magnetic resonance imaging was tested positive for anti-aquaporin4 (AQP4) antibodies. An open biopsy of the left temporal lobe showed pathological changes in both the white and gray matter. Hematoxylin and eosin, Kluver-Barrera, and myelin basic protein staining results were indicative of demyelination in the white matter. Loss of AQP4 and glial fibrillary acidic protein was observed in the white matter, and this finding is consistent with the neuropathological findings of neuromyelitis optica spinal lesions. Moreover, loss of AQP4 was observed in the gray matter. The presence of anti-AQP4 antibodies, and the pathology, led to the diagnosis of anti-AQP4 antibodies-related encephalopathy. - Decreased interferon-α production in response to CpG DNA dysregulates cytokine responses in patients with multiple sclerosis.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Type I interferons (IFNs), represented by IFN-alpha and beta, activate immune effector cells belonging to the innate and adaptive immune systems. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) produce IFN-alpha in response to CpG DNA. We aimed to examine the impact of pDC-produced IFN-alpha on the adaptive immune system in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Our results demonstrated that CpG DNA-induced IFN-alpha production was significantly decreased in PBMCs from MS patients. Decreased levels of IL-12 p70, IFN-gamma, and IL-17 and increased level of IL-10 were found in CpG DNA-treated PBMCs of healthy subjects unlike in those from MS patients. In samples pre-treated with IFN-alpha and IFN-beta, decreased levels of IL-12 p70, IFN-gamma, and IL-17 and increased level of IL-10 were detected in PBMCs from MS patients. These results suggest that CpG DNA-induced decreased IEN-alpha production causes pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, and either IFN-alpha or IFN-beta induces anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion in the adaptive immune system in MS.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Tripartite motif (TRIM)-containing proteins, which are defined by the presence of a common domain structure composed of a RING finger, one or two B-box motifs and a coiled-coil motif, are involved in many biological processes including innate immunity, viral infection, carcinogenesis, and development. Here we show that TRIM67, which has a TRIM motif, an FN3 domain and a SPRY domain, is highly expressed in the cerebellum and that TRIM67 interacts with PRG-1 and 80K-H, which is involved in the Ras-mediated signaling pathway. Ectopic expression of TRIM67 results in degradation of endogenous 80K-H and attenuation of cell proliferation and enhances neuritogenesis in the neuroblastoma cell line N1E-115. Furthermore, morphological and biological changes caused by knockdown of 80K-H are similar to those observed by overexpression of TRIM67. These findings suggest that TRIM67 regulates Ras signaling via degradation of 80K-H, leading to neural differentiation including neuritogenesis. - Genetic analysis of two Japanese families with progressive external ophthalmoplegia and parkinsonism

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Mutations in the progressive external ophthalmoplegia 1 (PEO1), adenine nucleotide translocator 1 (ANT1) and DNA polymerase gamma (POLG) genes were reported in patients with progressive external ophthalmoplegia and parkinsonism. However, the genotype-phenotype correlation and pathophysiology of these syndromes are still unknown. In order to define the molecular basis of progressive external ophthalmoplegia and parkinsonism, we screened for mutations in PEO1, ANT1, POLG genes and the whole mitochondrial genome in two families. In results, we identified a compound heterozygous POLG substitutions, c.830A > T (p.H277L) and c.2827C > T (p.R943C) in one of the families. These two mutations in the coding region of POLG alter conserved amino acids in the exonuclease and polymerase domains, respectively, of the POLG protein. Neither of these substitutions was found in the 100 chromosomes of ethnically matched control subjects. In the other family, no mutations were detected in any of the three genes and the whole mitochondrial genome in the blood sample, although mitochondrial DNA deletions were observed in the muscle biopsy sample. Progressive external ophthalmoplegia and parkinsonism are genetically heterogenous disorders, and part of this syndrome may be caused by mutations in other, unknown genes. - MRI and pathological findings of rheumatoid meningitis

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Rheumatoid meningitis (RM) is one of the most severe complications of rheumatoid arthritis. The mortality rate of RM is relatively high and diagnosis can be difficult. We present an 80-year-old woman who was diagnosed with microscopic findings of RM after analysis of biopsy specimens taken from a brain lesion. MRI scanning revealed meningeal enhancement in the brain, and the pathological findings were those of meningeal lymphocytic infiltration, vasculitis and rheumatoid nodules. RM is a treatable disease and in this patient RM was diagnosed on the basis of biopsy findings. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

英語, Background : Myoclonic epilepsy with ragged-red fibres (MERRF) and mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) are established phenotypes of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. The m.8356T>C transition in the mitochondrial tRNALys gene is a pathogenic mutations of MERRF. The m.3243A>G transition in the mitochondrial tRNALeu gene is detected in most MELAS patients. Although previous analyses of double mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were useful for discussing their nature, many unsolved questions remain.Objective : To describe the clinical and genetic features of a family with the above mtDNA double-point mutations and discuss the role of double mtDNA mutations in diverse clinical features in the family.Patients and methods : The proband was a 23-year-old woman with MERRF harbouring m.8356T>C and m.3243A>G transitions in mitochondrial tRNA genes. We assessed clinical aspects of her and those of her three relatives and performed mutation analyses on their mtDNA.Results : Phenotypes of the four patients were MERRF, MERRF/MELAS overlap syndrome and asymptomatic carrier. We hypothesise that the course of the phenotype of this family begins with MERRF and is followed by MELAS. This double mutation was heteroplasmic in blood of all four patients but with different rates in each patient, while m.8356T>C appeared homoplasmic and m.3243A>G was heteroplasmic in muscle of the two examined cases. No other mutations were detected in the total mtDNA sequence in this family.Conclusions : This is the first reported case of a double-point mutation in mtDNA, both of which were heteroplasmic and pathogenic for the established phenotypes. - Symptomatic Narcolepsy in Patients With Neuromyelitis Optica and Multiple Sclerosis New Neurochemical and Immunological Implications

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Objective: To characterize factors that contribute to symptomatic narcolepsy and excessive daytime sleepiness in neuromyelitis optica and multiple sclerosis.
Setting: Japanese university hospitals.
Design: Case study.
Patients: Seven Japanese patients whose initial diagnoses were multiple sclerosis and who were exhibiting excessive daytime sleepiness.
Main Outcome Measures: Lesions on magnetic resonance imaging, cerebrospinal fluid hypocretin-1 levels, and serum anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody titer.
Results: Bilateral and symmetrical hypothalamic lesions associated with marked or moderate hypocretin deficiency were found in all 7 cases. Four of these patients met the International Classification of Sleep Disorders 2 narcolepsy criteria. Three patients, including 2 patients with narcolepsy, were seropositive for anti-AQP4 antibody and diagnosed as having neuromyelitis optica-related disorder.
Conclusion: Since AQP4 is highly expressed in the hypothalamic periventricular regions, an immune attack on AQP4 may be partially responsible for the bilateral and hypothalamic lesions and hypocretin deficiency in narcolepsy/excessive daytime sleepiness associated with autoimmune demyelinating diseases. - Clinical characterization and successful treatment of 6 patients with Churg-Strauss syndrome-associated neuropathy

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Objective: To confirm the reported findings and clarify unknown clinical features of Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS)-associated neuropathy and design appropriate treatment.
Patients and methods: We assessed the clinical features of 6 patients with CSS-associated neuropathy.
Results: Mononeuritis multiplex was present in 4 cases and polyneuropathy in the remaining cases. Both groups progressed to sensori-motor polyneuropathy in an acute or subacute course. All cases showed bronchial asthma and eosinophilia. Two cases with serum antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies to myeloperoxidase (MPO-ANCA) had an acute clinical course and severe symptoms. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) of these 2 cases revealed conduction blocks at the initial stage, although NCS finally indicated sensori-motor axonopathy at the involved extremities. For treatment, high-dose corticosteroid therapy for 4 cases, and cyclophosphamide combined with corticosteroids for 1 case, were effective. For the remaining case, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) at the chronic phase resulted in a slow improvement of neuropathy in the symptomatic aspect. There was no relapse of neuropathy with low-dose corticosteroid treatment for 14-24 months after the initial treatment, except 1 case. There was also no relapse in the other case that was treated with moderate-dose steroids.
Conclusion: Our study showed that CSS-associated neuropathy is a treatable disorder and that the first choice therapy is high-dose corticosteroid. In cases where corticosteroids are ineffective or for severe cases, immunosuppressive therapy (cyclophosphamide) with steroids should be considered. and IVIg might be a treatment option.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare multisystem autoimmune disease. Though meningitis in RP is not common, some cases with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis of the lymphocyte cells have been reported. Of the 18 previously reported cases, two cases demonstrated pleocytosis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) in the CSF. In addition, cases with a decreased glucose level in the CSF were also seen. Our case also demonstrated pleocytosis of PMN in CSF mimicking bacterial meningitis. In the clinical field, as it is not possible to obtain a culture of CSF on admission day, the glucose level and cellular fraction are considered important. Therefore, meningitis in RP should be considered as a differential diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. - Transient subacute cerebellar ataxia in a patient with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome after intracranial aneurysm surgery

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Several reports have presented patients with subacute cerebellar ataxia (CA) and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS). Some clinical features of those patients have been described in the previous reports, manifestation of subacute CA prior to LEMS or a co-existence of both diseases, a high incidence of malignancy, and less efficacy of the treatment for subacute CA compared with that for LEMS. Cerebellar ataxia in some patients with LEMS has been suggested to be caused by antibodies to P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). We report herein a patient with subacute CA and LEMS. Cerebellar ataxia appeared 15 months after the occurrence of LEMS, and the onset of CA was thought to be due to serum anti-P/Q-type VGCC antibodies. The clinical course of this patient was atypical, as follows: (1) LEMS preceded subacute CA, which developed after intracranial aneurysm surgery, (2) no malignancy was detected when both diseases co-existed, (3) symptoms of LEMS did not progress with the onset of CA, and (4) there was a definite improvement in symptoms of CA and (123)I-IMP SPECT imaging findings after steroid administration. In addition, it is remarkable that LEMS became aggravated in electrophysiologic examinations, in contrast to subacute CA. We suggest that these atypical features of subacute CA and the changes in LEMS may be associated with a balance between the amount of serum anti-P/Q-type VGCC antibodies and the susceptibility of the cerebellum and presynaptic nerve terminals to the antibodies. More cases are needed to investigate the mechanisms involved. The subacute CA and LEMS in this patient have remained comparatively silent after the withdrawal of steroids, and we are continuing to observe her condition. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Objective This study was to clarify the neuropathological findings of acute encephalomyelopathy with Sjogren's syndrome.
Methods We examined an autopsied case of acute encephalomyelopathy with Sjogren's syndrome.
Case Report A 40-year-old woman developed acute myelopathy and brainstem dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed high-intensity lesions on T2-weighted axial images (T2WI) in the medulla oblongata and cervical spinal cord. We established a diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome (SjS) according to the European Community criteria. The patient was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone (500 mg/day) for three days, followed by oral prednisolone. Although her neurological symptoms improved, her general condition deteriorated after the onset of acute colonic pseudo-obstruction and she died of multiple organ failure associated with hemophagocytosis.
Results Autopsy showed atrophy of the secretory glands and an accumulation of lymphocytes around the ducts, confirming the diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome. Neuropathological examination revealed multifocal lesions in the cervical spinal cord and medulla, along with scattered perivascular lymphocytic infiltration. In addition, there was demyelination, spongy change and axonal swelling in the white matter, but no remarkable vasculitic changes were seen in the central nervous system.
Conclusion Although the steroid therapy may have had a significant influence, the main pathological finding in this case was not vasculitis, but rather axonal degeneration with spongy change and axonal swelling. - [Successful treatment of a Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome patient with 3,4-diaminopyridine].

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), A 23-year-old man complained of weakness of the right arm that he first noted six years prior to his visit. Neurological examination revealed atrophy and weakness of the triceps and serratus anterior muscle on the right side, which resulted in scapular winging on that side. MRI with neck flexion revealed compression of the cervical cord enabling a diagnosis of flexion myelopathy. Proximal muscle weakness and atrophy in flexion myelopathies including Hirayama disease are extremely rare. Here, we report a case of unilateral, proximal upper limb atrophy with scapular winging, attributed to middle cervical flexion myelopathy. - Dropped head sign as the only symptom of myasthenia gravis

英語, 研究論文(学術雑誌), Neck extensor muscle weakness and the dropped head sign are associated with various neuromuscular disorders. However, these symptoms are comparatively rare in myasthenia gravis (MG). We report a MG case that presented with dropped head sign as the main symptom. A 55-year-old man developed subacute weakness of the neck extensor muscle and presented with dropped head. We established a diagnosis of MG based on the results of an edrophonium test and a voluntary single fiber electromyogram (vSFEMG), and a high serum antiacetylcholine receptor antibody level. This patient was treated with pyridostigmine and his neurological symptoms improved. There are reported cases of dropped head sign as the first symptom of MG, however, in those cases, other muscles showed weakness during the first few months after onset. In the present case, throughout the clinical course no other symptoms outside of dropped head sign were seen. - A case of acute urinary retention caused by periaqueductal grey lesion

A 48-year-old man was admitted to Tomakomai City Hospital, Tomakomai, Japan, because of intractable hiccups and nausea, and orthostatic hypotension.Brain magnetic resonance imaging findings showed a dorsal medullary lesion. Respiratory failure occurred, and he underwent tracheotomy and mechanical ventilationwhen magnetic resonance imaging showed subarachnoid hemorrhage in addition to enlarged medullary lesions. Serum anti-aquaporin-4 antibody was positiveand the cerebrospinal fluid was bloody. We diagnosed meuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders complicating subarachnoid hemorrhage. He was treated with a steroid. Although extensive white matter lesions occurred transiently, the patient was discharged from the hospital when he became able to walk with the use of the walker on the 52nd day. We suggest that the subarachnoid hemorrhage and transient white matter lesions were associated with vascular damage associated with the meuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders., Wiley, 英語 - 中枢神経原発血管炎5例の臨床像の検討

神経疾患において自己抗体(抗神経抗体)が注目されている。適切な診断と治療のために、自己免疫性小脳失調症の概念と診断方法の確立が必要である。申請者は、平成25年度に科研費(研究活動スタート支援)を拝受し研究を進め、既知の神経抗体が陰性である免疫介在性小脳失調症患者血清より2014年に新規自己抗体の抗Sez6l2抗体を同定した(Yaguchi et al. J Neurol 2014)。2018年には申請者は抗Sez6l2抗体の病原性を分子生物学的に証明した(Yaguchi et al. BBRC 2018, Yaguchi et al. J Neurol 2018)。2019年にはドイツから我々の実験データを基として抗Sez6l2抗体陽性の小脳失調症例が追加報告され(Borsche et al. J Neurol. 2019)その重要性が確認された。なお、2021年には欧州の世界最大の抗神経抗体研究グループ(Darumauら)から、免疫が関与する小脳性運動失調症95例中4例(4.2%)が抗Sez6l2抗体による小脳性運動失調症(Landa J et al. Neurol Neuroimmunol Neuroinflamm. 2020)であることを報告され、Sez6l2 Autoimmunityという概念が提示されていることより、日本国内でもcell-based assay (CBA)により複数例の検討が必要である。
本研究では第一に『多数例で抗Sez6l2抗体を測定することで抗Sez6l2抗体陽性者の疾患概念を確立』することが目標である。現時点では、①他施設との共同研究により検体の収集が終了している。さらに、②FLAG-Sez6l2をHEK293Tに過剰発現させ、患者血清と抗FLAG抗体(M5)を用いて、二重染色することで抗体陽性を診断するCBAも確立しており、現在その検討を当教室で施行し、診断精度の微調整を行っている最中である。

われわれは先行研究において、一部のタウオパチー発症に神経終末アクティブゾーンに存在するbassoon蛋白を翻訳するbassoon(BSN)遺伝子の変化を見出した。そのタウオパチーは3リピート(3R)と4リピート(4R)のタウ蛋白質が蓄積する新しい病態であることも示した。さらに、今までPSPと臨床診断していた患者を対象に遺伝子解析を実施したところ、その約10%にBSN遺伝子変化を同定した。このメカニズムとして分子生物学的手法を用いて、BSN遺伝子変異がタウタンパク質を不溶性分画に移行させる病原性があることを解明した。その結果、われわれの論文を引用し、Bassoon proteinopathyという疾患概念が提唱され、BSNタンパク質やBSN遺伝子と多発性硬化症、ハンチントン病、若年性パーキンソン病などの重要な神経疾患との関連が近年相次いで報告されている(Montenegro-Venegas C, et al. Autophagy 2020, Huang TT, et al. Acta Neuropathol Commun 2020, Hoffmann-Conaway S et al. Elife 2020)。当教室では現在このBSN遺伝子変化のPSPを始めとする神経難病への関与についてさらに検討を進めている。具体的には今回の研究では、①モデル動物と細胞株においてBSN遺伝子変異がタウオパチーを惹起する病態機序と同変異が治療標的となり得る可能性、②過去の研究報告からBSNが病態に関与している可能性がある認知症関連疾患、パーキンソン症候群、多系統萎縮症、多発性硬化症などの多様な神経疾患におけるBSN遺伝子変異関与の可能性、③血漿や髄液検体を用いてBSNタンパク質を測定し、BSNタンパク質量が診断および重症度バイオマーカーになり得る可能性、の3課題を中心に研究を遂行している。

本研究で小脳失調患者血清はSez6l2の細胞外ドメインを認識した。またSez6l2は質量分析を用いた検討からADDと結合することがわかった。ADDはAMPA受容体の下流シグナル伝達の可能性が他論文で示唆されており、またSez6l2と同様のドメインを持つタンパク質群はグルタミン酸レセプターの補助サブユニットの可能性が報告されている。そのためSez6l2とGluR1との結合を検討したところ、細胞外ドメイン同士で直接結合することを発見した。さらに興味深いことに患者血清はこのリコンビナントタンパク同士の結合を阻害した。以上より、患者血清はAMPAからADDのシグナル経路を阻害する可能性が考えられた。
