Abstract

The clinical category of immune-mediated cerebellar ataxias (IMCAs) has been established after 3 decades of clinical and experimental research. The cerebellum is particularly enriched in antigens (ion channels and related proteins, synaptic adhesion/organizing proteins, transmitter receptors, glial cells) and is vulnerable to immune attacks. IMCAs include various disorders, including gluten ataxia (GA), post-infectious cerebellitis (PIC), Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS), paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD), opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome (OMS), and anti-GAD ataxia. Other disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), Behçet disease, and collagen vascular disorders may also present with cerebellar symptoms when lesions are localized to cerebellar pathways. The triggers of autoimmunity are established in GA (gluten sensitivity), PIC and MFS (infections), PCD (malignancy), and OMS (infections or malignant tumors). Patients whose clinical profiles do not match those of classic types of IMCAs are now included in the spectrum of primary autoimmune cerebellar ataxia (PACA). Recent remarkable progress has clarified various characteristics of these etiologies and therapeutic strategies in terms of immunotherapies. However, it still remains to be elucidated as to how immune tolerance is broken, leading to autoimmune insults of the cerebellum, and the consecutive sequence of events occurring during cerebellar damage caused by antibody- or cell-mediated mechanisms. Antibodies may specifically target the cerebellar circuitry and impair synaptic mechanisms (synaptopathies). The present Special Issue aims to illuminate what is solved and what is unsolved in clinical practice and the pathophysiology of IMCAs. Immune ataxias now represent a genuine category of immune insults to the central nervous system (CNS).

摘要

经过30年的临床和实验研究,免疫介导性小脑共济失调(IMCAs)的临床分类已确立。小脑富含多种抗原(离子通道及相关蛋白、突触黏附/组织蛋白、递质受体、神经胶质细胞),易受免疫攻击。IMCAs包括多种疾病,如麸质共济失调(GA)、感染后小脑炎(PIC)、米勒·费希尔综合征(MFS)、副肿瘤性小脑变性(PCD)、眼阵挛肌阵挛综合征(OMS)以及抗谷氨酸脱羧酶共济失调。其他疾病,如多发性硬化(MS)、急性播散性脑脊髓炎(ADEM)、白塞病和胶原血管疾病,当病变局限于小脑传导通路时也可能出现小脑症状。自身免疫的触发因素在GA(麸质敏感性)、PIC和MFS(感染)、PCD(恶性肿瘤)以及OMS(感染或恶性肿瘤)中已明确。临床特征与经典IMCAs类型不相符的患者现在被纳入原发性自身免疫性小脑共济失调(PACA)范畴。最近的显著进展已阐明了这些病因的各种特征以及免疫治疗方面的治疗策略。然而,免疫耐受是如何被打破从而导致小脑的自身免疫性损伤,以及在抗体或细胞介导机制引起的小脑损伤过程中发生的连续事件序列仍有待阐明。抗体可能特异性靶向小脑回路并损害突触机制(突触病)。本期特刊旨在阐明在IMCAs的临床实践和病理生理学中已解决的问题和未解决的问题。免疫性共济失调现在代表了一类对中枢神经系统(CNS)真正的免疫损伤。
