摘要
Stiff person syndrome with auto-antibodies against amphiphysin is characterized by muscular stiffness, spasms, and anxiety which is a less appreciated core symptom. Here, we report that intrathecal application of purified immunoglobulin G-antibodies against amphiphysin from one patient induce anxiety behavior in rats. Immunostaining demonstrated binding of anti-amphiphysin antibodies to brain structures which are associated with anxiety disorders, such as the amygdala. We propose that antibody-mediated amphiphysin deficiency may account for anxiety behavior in stiff person syndrome via presynaptic dysregulation of GABAergic pathways.
