Abnormality of multimodal evoked potentials in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP).

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an autoimmune disease of the peripheral nervous system, sometimes including the central nervous system. The aim of the study was the assessment of the prevalence of central sensory impairment and its reliance on peripheral nerve damage in patients with CIDP. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Multimodal (visual-VEP, brainstem auditory-BAEP, somatosensory-SEP) evoked potentials (EPs) were studied in 24 patients diagnosed with CIDP. The results were compared with neurographic parameters of sensory responses. The control group consisted of 35 healthy volunteers selected with respect to age and sex. RESULTS:Mean latency of most components of EP were considerably prolonged in patients compared with the control group. There were no correlations between the P100 VEP latency and the peripheral sensory parameters. Statistically significant negative correlations were obtained between BAEP and SEP responses and the amplitude and sensory conduction velocity of peripheral nerves. The inter-latencies were also longer. CONCLUSIONS:The authors indicated to the possibility of central sensory involvement in patients with CIDP, especially based on the prolonged inter-latency of BAEPs with simultaneously confirmed root affection. The severity of central damage correlates with the degree of peripheral nerve impairment.

Project description:BackgroundHuman endogenous retroviruses HERV-W encode a pro-inflammatory protein, named MSRV-Env from its original identification in Multiple Sclerosis. Though not detected in various neurological controls, MSRV-Env was found in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathies (CIDPs). This study investigated the expression of MSRV in CIDP and evaluated relevant MSRV-Env pathogenic effects.Methods50 CIDP patients, 19 other neurological controls (ONDs) and 65 healthy blood donors (HBDs) were recruited from two different countries. MSRV-env and -pol transcripts, IL6 and CXCL10 levels were quantified from blood samples. MSRV-Env immunohistology was performed in distal sensory nerves from CIDP and neurological controls biopsies. MSRV-Env pathogenic effects and mode of action were assayed in cultured primary human Schwann cells (HSCs).FindingsIn both cohorts, MSRV-env and -pol transcripts, IL6 positivity prevalence and CXCL10 levels were significantly elevated in CIDP patients when compared to HBDs and ONDs (statistically significant in all comparisons). MSRV-Env protein was detected in Schwann cells in 5/7 CIDP biopsies. HSC exposed to or transfected with MSRV-env presented a strong increase of IL6 and CXCL10 transcripts and protein secretion. These pathogenic effects on HSC were inhibited by GNbAC1, a highly specific and neutralizing humanized monoclonal antibody targeting MSRV-Env.InterpretationThe present study showed that MSRV-Env may trigger the release of critical immune mediators proposed as instrumental factors involved in the pathophysiology of CIDP. Significant MSRV-Env expression was detected in a significant proportion of patients with CIDP, in which it may play a role according to its presently observed effects on Schwann cells along with previously known effects on immune cells. Experimental results also suggest that a biomarker-driven therapeutic strategy targeting this protein with a neutralizing antibody such as GNbAC1 may offer new perspectives for treating CIDP patients with positive detection of MSRV-Env expression.FundingGeneuro-Innovation, France.
