مستخلص: | Objective: Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis results in chronic epilepsy and permanent cognitive impairment. One of the possible causes of cognitive impairment in anti-NMDAR could be aberrant neurogenesis, an established contributor to memory loss in idiopathic drug-resistant epilepsy. We developed a mouse model of anti-NMDAR encephalitis and showed that mice exposed to patient anti-NMDAR antibodies for 2 weeks developed seizures and memory loss. In the present study, we assessed the delayed effects of patient-derived antibodies on cognitive phenotype and examined the corresponding changes in hippocampal neurogenesis. Methods: Monoclonal anti-NMDAR antibodies or control antibodies were continuously infused into the lateral ventricle of male C56BL/6J mice (8-12 weeks) via osmotic minipumps for 2 weeks. The motor and anxiety phenotypes were assessed using the open field paradigm, and hippocampal memory and learning were assessed using the object location, Y maze, and Barnes maze paradigms during weeks 1 and 3-4 of antibody washout. The numbers of newly matured granule neurons (Prox-1+) and immature progenitor cells (DCX+) as well as their spatial distribution within the hippocampus were assessed at these time points. Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU, 50 mg/kg, i.p., daily) was injected on days 2-12 of the infusion, and proliferating cell immunoreactivity was compared in antibody-treated mice and control mice during week 4 of the washout. Results: Mice infused with anti-NMDAR antibodies demonstrated spatial memory impairment during week 1 of antibody washout (p = 0.02, t-test; n = 9-11). Histological analysis of hippocampal sections from these mice revealed an increased ectopic displacement of Prox-1+ cells in the dentate hilus compared to the control-antibody-treated mice (p = 0.01; t-test). Mice exposed to anti-NMDAR antibodies also had an impairment of spatial memory and learning during weeks 3-4 of antibody washout (object location: p = 0.009; t-test; Y maze: p = 0.006, t-test; Barnes maze: p = 0.008, ANOVA; n = 8-10). These mice showed increased ratios of the low proliferating (bright) to fast proliferating (faint) BrdU+ cell counts and decreased number of DCX+ cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (p = 0.006 and p = 0.04, respectively; t-tests) suggesting ectopic migration and delayed cell proliferation. Significance: These findings suggest that memory and learning impairments induced by patient anti-NMDAR antibodies are sustained upon removal of antibodies and are accompanied by aberrant hippocampal neurogenesis. Interventions directed at the manipulation of neuronal plasticity in patients with encephalitis and cognitive loss may be protective and therapeutically relevant.
