技术领域technical field

本发明涉及人群中新发现的导致颞叶癫痫(TLE)的一个新的LGI1基因突变,该基因突变的纯合模型小鼠表现出致死性癫痫,杂合小鼠脑电图可记录到癫痫波形,行为学显示共病抑郁,可作为癫痫共病抑郁的新动物模型,用于癫痫发病、癫痫共病抑郁的机制研究以及抗癫痫合并抑郁药物的研发。The present invention relates to a new LGI1 gene mutation newly discovered in the population that leads to temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Homozygous model mice with this gene mutation exhibit lethal epilepsy, and the EEG of heterozygous mice can record epileptic waveforms , Behavioral studies show comorbid depression, which can be used as a new animal model for epilepsy comorbid depression, for research on the mechanism of epilepsy and epilepsy comorbid depression, and for the development of antiepileptic drugs combined with depression.

背景技术Background technique

颞叶癫痫(TLE)是最常见的局灶性癫痫综合症,常伴有海马硬化、神经元丢失、胶质细胞增生和苔藓纤维发芽等病理异常异常癫痫放电起源于大脑颞叶,属于部分性发作癫痫的一种。颞叶癫痫根据致痫灶部位的不同,又分为外侧颞叶癫痫(Lateral temporallobeepilepsy,L17LE)和内侧颞叶癫痫(medial temporallobe epilepsy,MTLE)【1】。外侧颞叶癫痫指致痫灶位于颞叶外侧新皮层,包括颞上回、颞中回、颞下回、梭状回;内侧颞叶癫痫指致痫灶位于颞叶内侧结构,包括海马,杏仁核以及海马旁回。Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common focal epilepsy syndrome, often accompanied by pathological abnormalities such as hippocampal sclerosis, neuron loss, glial cell proliferation, and mossy fiber sprouting Abnormal epileptic discharges originate in the temporal lobe of the brain and are partial A type of epilepsy. Temporal lobe epilepsy is divided into lateral temporal lobe epilepsy (L17LE) and medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) according to the location of the epileptogenic focus [1]. Lateral temporal lobe epilepsy refers to the epileptogenic foci located in the neocortex of the lateral temporal lobe, including the superior temporal gyrus, middle temporal gyrus, inferior temporal gyrus, and fusiform gyrus; medial temporal lobe epilepsy refers to the epileptogenic foci located in the medial temporal lobe structures, including the hippocampus and amygdala nucleus and parahippocampal gyrus.

临床研究发现约三分之一癫痫患者合并情绪障碍,称为癫痫共患病,上世纪70年代Trimble and Reynolds首次提出了抗癫痫药和情绪认知障碍等行为学表现的关系【2】。近期一项meta分析的结果显示二者的相关性达到23.1%【3】。临床报道颞叶癫痫患者中高达55%比例的患者深受合并的抑郁症困扰,且伴随抑郁症的颞叶癫痫患者自杀死亡率比普通癫痫患者高25倍【4】。癫痫共患病患者除癫痫发作带来的痛苦之外,异常的精神状态也使患者承受了巨大的压力。Clinical studies have found that about one-third of epilepsy patients have emotional disorders, which are called epilepsy comorbidities. In the 1970s, Trimble and Reynolds first proposed the relationship between antiepileptic drugs and behavioral manifestations such as emotional cognitive impairment [2]. The results of a recent meta-analysis showed that the correlation between the two reached 23.1% [3]. According to clinical reports, up to 55% of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy suffer from comorbid depression, and the suicide mortality rate of temporal lobe epilepsy patients with depression is 25 times higher than that of ordinary epilepsy patients [4]. In addition to the pain caused by epileptic seizures, the abnormal mental state of patients with epilepsy comorbidities also puts patients under tremendous pressure.

癫痫相关的抑郁受到越来越多的关注,但临床诊断或者治疗仍没有统一标准。抑郁症状的多样性导致了癫痫共病抑郁诊断困难。Kanner等发现难治性癫痫共患抑郁患者,只有29%的患者的抑郁症状符合精神障碍诊断与统计IV(Diagnostic and StatisticalManual of Mental Disorders,DSM)诊断标准,抑郁症的诊断需要专业的心理量表的评定,而目前还没有专门用于评定癫痫相关抑郁的评定方法。加之服用抗癫痫药物副作用的干扰,癫痫患者的抑郁常无法明确,在控制癫痫发作的主要目标前,改善抑郁症状成了被忽视的需求。因此研究颞叶癫痫共患抑郁的发病机制及诊断治疗就具有特别重要的临床意义。Epilepsy-related depression has received increasing attention, but there is still no uniform standard for clinical diagnosis or treatment. The diversity of depressive symptoms makes the diagnosis of epilepsy comorbid depression difficult. Kanner et al. found that in treatment-resistant epilepsy patients with depression, only 29% of the patients had depressive symptoms that met the diagnostic criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), and the diagnosis of depression requires professional psychological scales However, there is currently no specific assessment method for the assessment of epilepsy-related depression. Coupled with the interference of side effects of antiepileptic drugs, the depression of epilepsy patients is often unclear. Before the main goal of controlling epileptic seizures, improving depressive symptoms has become a neglected demand. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to study the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of depression with temporal lobe epilepsy.

一些临床研究经过长期观察证实癫痫发作后抑郁增加【5】,而另外一方面的研究则表明抑郁个体有发展成癫痫患者的风险【6】。这种双向相关关系支持癫痫和抑郁存在重叠机制的假设,并且可能是由遗传易感性介导的。所以遗传因素在癫痫发作中的作用需要进一步深入研究。Some clinical studies have confirmed the increase in depression after epileptic seizures through long-term observation [5], while studies on the other hand have shown that depressed individuals are at risk of developing epilepsy [6]. This bidirectional correlation supports the hypothesis that epilepsy and depression have overlapping mechanisms and may be mediated by genetic predisposition. Therefore, the role of genetic factors in epileptic seizures needs further in-depth study.

到目前为止,只有一个基因对TLE的遗传易感性有重要影响——富含亮氨酸的胶质瘤失活1基因(LGI1)。LGI1的突变在有听觉功能的常染色体显性部分癫痫(ADPEAF)家族中被鉴定为大约50%,其外显率约为67%【7】。截止到2019年,在ADTLE患病家族中被报道的LGI1突变位点共有42个【8】。ADTLE是一种特发性局灶性癫痫综合征,以听觉症状或接受性相作为主要的黄疸表现。这些症状强烈提示颞叶外侧的位置,因此该综合征也被称为颞叶外侧癫痫。一个有LGI1两种突变位点的ADPEAF家族报告中显示其中LGI1c.431+1G>A突变家族第二代有三人存在抑郁和自杀在内的精神症状【9】。So far, only one gene has a significant impact on genetic susceptibility to TLE - the leucine-rich glioma inactivation 1 gene (LGI1). Mutations in LGI1 have been identified in approximately 50% of families with auditory autosomal dominant partial epilepsy (ADPEAF), with a penetrance of approximately 67% [7]. As of 2019, a total of 42 LGI1 mutation sites have been reported in ADTLE affected families [8]. ADTLE is an idiopathic focal epilepsy syndrome with auditory symptoms or a receptive phase as the predominant icteric manifestation. These symptoms strongly suggest a location in the lateral temporal lobe, so the syndrome is also known as lateral temporal lobe epilepsy. A report of an ADPEAF family with two LGI1 mutation sites showed that in the second generation of the LGI1c.431+1G>A mutation family, three people had mental symptoms including depression and suicide [9].

颞叶癫痫是神经系统的一类重要疾病,需要开发有效的抗痫药物。在设计和开发抗癫痫新药时,必须利用动物癫痫模型。实验性癫痫动物模型与人类癫痫发作存在有相似性,其机理也接近人类发作时的病理生理状态。利用电刺激或化学致痫剂复制动物模型时,一般使用当时已知的临床有效的抗癫痫药物来证明模型的有效价值,然后再用这些模型来评价新抗痫药物,因此选择合适的动物模型很关键。具有理想的颞叶癫痫模型应具备以下条件:①在症状学上,海马、杏仁核和其它边缘结构占有中心地位;②病理上,特异的海马损伤与颞叶癫痫的海马硬化相关;③有自发抽搐;④与人类颞叶癫痫一样,对大部分抗癫痫药物耐受。理想的颞叶癫痫模型为研究癫痫共病抑郁相关的神经生物学机制提供了极佳的前提条件。截至目前尚无特异遗传动物模型广泛用于研究颞叶癫痫共病。所以研究lgi1基因在癫痫共病抑郁发生发展过程的作用就具有特别重要的临床意义,对于癫痫共病抑郁的药物研发也提供了新的模型工具。Temporal lobe epilepsy is an important class of diseases of the nervous system, and it is necessary to develop effective antiepileptic drugs. When designing and developing new antiepileptic drugs, animal epilepsy models must be used. Experimental animal models of epilepsy are similar to human epilepsy, and its mechanism is also close to the pathophysiological state of human seizures. When using electrical stimulation or chemical epilepsy agents to replicate animal models, generally known clinically effective antiepileptic drugs at that time are used to prove the effective value of the model, and then these models are used to evaluate new antiepileptic drugs, so appropriate animal models are selected very critical. An ideal temporal lobe epilepsy model should meet the following conditions: ① Symptomatically, the hippocampus, amygdala and other limbic structures occupy a central position; ② Pathologically, specific hippocampal damage is related to hippocampal sclerosis in temporal lobe epilepsy; ③ There is spontaneous Convulsions; ④ Like human temporal lobe epilepsy, it is resistant to most antiepileptic drugs. The ideal temporal lobe epilepsy model provides an excellent prerequisite for studying the neurobiological mechanisms related to epilepsy comorbidity and depression. To date, no specific genetic animal model has been widely used to study comorbidities of temporal lobe epilepsy. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to study the role of lgi1 gene in the occurrence and development of epilepsy comorbid depression, and it also provides a new model tool for the drug development of epilepsy comorbid depression.

二、小鼠癫痫检测2. Detection of epilepsy in mice

所有小鼠记录出生时间,测序鉴定及基因型并分笼后持续观察并记录小鼠死亡时间及癫痫发作特点。癫痫发作强度采用Racine分级标准(0级:无反应;1级:面肌抽动,节律性咀嚼;3级:节律性点头;4级:双侧前肢阵挛伴站立;5级:跌倒,全身强直阵挛发作)。麻醉后固定于立体定位仪(512600,Stoelting,USA)。在腹侧海马CA3区(AP.-2.9mm;L.-3.0mm;V.-3.0mm)植入电极用于脑电记录。另外,在感觉运动皮层上方颅骨旋入一枚不锈钢螺丝并连接电极用于记录皮层脑电,在小脑上方颅骨旋入两枚螺丝作为脑电记录时的参考和接地。电极外端焊接于微型插座上,并用牙科水泥固定于颅骨。所有定位坐标均以前囟为原点进行测量,参考Franklin和Paxinos所发表的脑图谱。行为学实验结束后,所有老鼠均需要确认电极植入位置,只有电极位置正确的小鼠才能用于结果分析。用PowerLab系统(ADInstruments)记录自由活动小鼠的脑电,采样率为1kHz,每天记录8小时(早上9:00.下午5:00),连续记录三天作为基线。脑电记录结束后,用PowerLab系统中的LabChart 7软件对记录到的EEG信号进行离线分析。根据之前的报道,癫痫样脑电被定义为:持续时N>20s,尖峰频率≥2Hz,振幅之3倍EEG基线的规律性尖峰放电簇。同时2次脑电发作至少间隔10s。在本实验中,统计每天记录的8小时脑电中自发癫痫波。The time of birth, sequencing identification and genotype of all mice were recorded, and the death time and seizure characteristics of the mice were continuously observed and recorded after they were separated into cages. Seizure intensity was graded according to the Racine scale (grade 0: no response; grade 1: facial muscle twitching, rhythmic chewing; grade 3: rhythmic nodding; grade 4: bilateral forelimb clonus with standing; grade 5: fall, general rigidity clonic seizures). After anesthesia, they were fixed in a stereotaxic apparatus (512600, Stoelting, USA). Electrodes were implanted in the CA3 region of the ventral hippocampus (AP.-2.9mm; L.-3.0mm; V.-3.0mm) for EEG recording. In addition, a stainless steel screw was screwed into the skull above the sensorimotor cortex and connected to electrodes for recording cortical EEG, and two screws were screwed into the skull above the cerebellum as reference and grounding for EEG recording. The outer ends of the electrodes are welded to micro-sockets and fixed to the skull with dental cement. All positioning coordinates were measured from the bregma as the origin, referring to the brain atlas published by Franklin and Paxinos. After the behavioral experiment, all mice need to confirm the electrode implantation position, and only the mice with the correct electrode position can be used for the result analysis. The EEG of freely moving mice was recorded with the PowerLab system (ADInstruments) at a sampling rate of 1 kHz for 8 hours a day (9:00 am to 5:00 pm), and recorded for three consecutive days as a baseline. After the EEG recording was completed, the recorded EEG signals were analyzed offline with the LabChart 7 software in the PowerLab system. According to previous reports, epileptiform EEG is defined as regular spike discharge clusters with duration N>20s, spike frequency ≥2Hz, and amplitude 3 times the EEG baseline. At least 10 seconds between two EEG attacks at the same time. In this experiment, the spontaneous epileptic waves in the 8-hour EEG recorded every day were counted.

Elevated plus maze: The elevated plus maze consists of two parts: the plus maze part and the pillar part. The cross part is composed of two open arms, two closed arms and a central platform connecting the open arms and closed arms. On the side connected to the central platform, the other three sides have opaque wooden boards with a height of 15cm to create a dark area. The pillars supporting the cross section are 38.5cm high. During the experiment, the elevated cross was placed on the flat ground, and the camera for monitoring the movement of the mice was placed vertically above the elevated cross so that the head of the mouse faced one of the open arms, and the camera was used to track and record the activities of the mice on the elevated cross. Each mouse was observed for 5 minutes, and the number of times of entering the arm was used to calculate: number of open arms/(number of open arms+number of closed arms). The calculated results were used for statistical analysis.

2.旷场实验:实验环境要求密闭安静,最好实验室隔音,这样可以避免外界环境和声音的影响。本实验室用于开场实验的开场箱大小是(50cm×50cm×20cm)长×宽×高,开场箱中间是20cm×20cm的中心区域。中央区域每条边都离箱子边缘10cm。摄像系统垂直放在开场箱上方。实验时,将小鼠轻轻放在开场箱中心,然后打开软件,收集小鼠运动轨迹20min,记录小鼠进入开场中央的次数以及停留的时间。每只小鼠实验结束后都要用75%乙醇擦拭去除其残留气味防止对下只小鼠产生影响。2. Open-field experiment: The experimental environment is required to be closed and quiet, and it is best to make the laboratory soundproof, so as to avoid the influence of the external environment and sound. The size of the opening box used for the opening experiment in this laboratory is (50cm×50cm×20cm) length×width×height, and the middle of the opening box is the central area of 20cm×20cm. The central area is 10 cm from the edge of the box on each side. The camera system is placed vertically above the opening box. During the experiment, the mice were gently placed in the center of the opening box, and then the software was turned on to collect the mouse movement trajectory for 20 minutes, and the number of times the mice entered the center of the opening box and the time of staying were recorded. After the end of the experiment, each mouse was wiped with 75% ethanol to remove its residual odor to prevent it from affecting the next mouse.

四、统计方法4. Statistical methods

采用SPSS19.0进行统计分析,统计学意义的水平设定为P≤0.05,采用均数±标准差(mean±SD),用Leven’s test方法检验正态性和方差齐性。如果符合正态性和方差齐性,用T检验(T-test)进行统计分析;如果不符合正态性和方差不齐,则用Kruskal-Wallis检验。如果Kruskal-Wallis检验有统计学意义(P<0.05)则用Dunnett’s Test(非参数方法)进行比较分析。评价时考虑统计学差异和生物学意义。SPSS 19.0 was used for statistical analysis, and the level of statistical significance was set at P≤0.05. The mean ± standard deviation (mean ± SD) was used, and the normality and homogeneity of variance were tested by Leven's test method. If normality and homogeneity of variances were met, T-test was used for statistical analysis; if normality and variances were not met, Kruskal-Wallis test was used. If the Kruskal-Wallis test was statistically significant (P<0.05), Dunnett's Test (non-parametric method) was used for comparative analysis. Statistical differences and biological significance were considered in the evaluation.

All homozygous mice with Lgi1 gene mutations developed epileptic seizures within 3-5 weeks, and the peak of the onset was around 4 weeks (see Figure 1). Seconds or so, he jumped, then fell down and had tonic convulsions all over his body, and the intensity of the attack reached level 5. The average interval between the first onset and death is about 8 hours, and the frequency of attacks is shortened from 3 hours to 10 minutes. The number of onsets from the first onset to death is 3-5 times, accompanied by sudden death after the last onset, and limb spasm after death state (see Figure 2). A total of 7 heterozygous mice died during the recording period, and the death time ranged from 50 days to 344 days. Among them, one mouse was observed to have seizures when changing cages (see Figure 3), and the remaining dead mice were not observed to die Before the epileptic seizure, but the limbs were in a state of tonic spasm, it can be determined that the death was due to epileptic seizures.
