Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Epilepsy is increasingly associated with immune dysregulation and inflammation. The T cell receptor (TCR), a key mediator of adaptive immunity, shows repertoire alterations in various immune‐mediated diseases. The unique TCR sequence serves as a molecular barcode for T cells, and clonal expansion accompanied by reduced overall TCR ...

Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Early‐Onset Versus Late‐Onset LGI1‐Antibody Encephalitis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Leucine‐rich glioma‐inactivated 1 antibody (LGI1‐Ab) encephalitis predominantly affected older individuals, but has also been reported in younger patients. However, the demographic, clinical, and prognostic characteristics of early‐onset LGI1‐Ab encephalitis have yet to be systematically elucidated. This study aims to systematically

Whole tumor RNA-sequencing and deconvolution reveal a clinically-prognostic PTEN/PI3K-regulated glioma transcriptional signature [PDF]
, 2017 The concept that solid tumors are maintained by a productive interplay between neoplastic and non-neoplastic elements has gained traction with the demonstration that stromal fibroblasts and immune system cells dictate cancer development and progression ...

Insights Into the Antigenic Repertoire of Unclassified Synaptic Antibodies
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective We sought to characterize the sixth most common finding in our neuroimmunological laboratory practice (tissue assay‐observed unclassified neural antibodies [UNAs]), combining protein microarray and phage immunoprecipitation sequencing (PhIP‐Seq). Methods Patient specimens (258; 133 serums; 125 CSF) meeting UNA criteria were profiled;

Proapoptotic and antiinvasive activity of Rac1 small molecule inhibitors on malignant glioma cells [PDF]
, 2014 Malignant gliomas are characterized by an intrinsic ability to invade diffusely throughout the normal brain tissue. This feature contributes mainly to the failure of existing therapies. Deregulation of small GTPases signaling, in particular Rac1 activity,

Increased Blood Levels of NfL, GFAP, and Placental Growth Factor After Radiotherapy to the Brain
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this study, we analyzed biomarkers of neuronal, glial, and vascular injury in longitudinal paired samples of blood and cerebrospinal fluid after prophylactic cranial irradiation in patients with small cell lung cancer. Neurofilament light chain protein (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) increased in serum and cerebrospinal ...

Glioma through the looking GLASS: molecular evolution of diffuse gliomas and the Glioma Longitudinal Analysis Consortium. [PDF]
, 2018 Adult diffuse gliomas are a diverse group of brain neoplasms that inflict a high emotional toll on patients and their families. The Cancer Genome Atlas and similar projects have provided a comprehensive understanding of the somatic alterations and ...

Radiation therapy combined with intracerebral administration of carboplatin for the treatment of brain tumors [PDF]
, 2014 Background: In this study we determined if treatment combining radiation therapy (RT) with intracerebral (i.c.) administration of carboplatin to F98 glioma bearing rats could improve survival over that previously reported by us with a 15 Gy dose (5 Gy ...
