Abstract:
Abs against myelin basic protein/MBP present with the proteolytic-activity (Ab-proteases with functionality) of higher value to observe demyelination to show the evolution of multiple sclerosis (MS). Anti-MBP auto-Abs from MS patients and mice with EAE exhibited particular proteolytic cleavage of MBP which, in turn, markedly vary between: 1. MS patients and healthy controls; 2. Different clinical MS courses; 3. EDSS scales of demyelination to correspond with the disability of MS patients to predict the transformation prior to the changes of clinical course. Ab-mediated proteolysis of MBP was shown to be sequence-specific while exhibiting 5 sites of preferential proteolysis to be located within the immunodominant regions of MBP and to fall inside into 5 sequences fixed. Some of the latter (with the highest encephalitogenic properties) were evident to act as a specific inducer of EAE and to be attacked by the MBP-targeted Ab-proteases in MS patients with the most severe (pro-gradient) clinical courses. The other ones whilst being less immunogenic happened to be EAE inducers very rare but were shown to be attacked by Ab-proteases in MS patients with moderate (remission-type) clinical courses. The activity of Ab-proteases was initially registered at the subclinical stages 1-2 years prior to the clinical illness. About 24 percent of the direct MS-related relatives were sero-positive for low active Ab-proteases from which 22 percent of the seropositive relatives established were being monitored for 2 years while demonstrating a stable growth of Ab-associated proteolytic activity. Moreover, some of the low-active Ab-proteases in persons at MS-related risks (at subclinical stages of MS) and primary clinical and MRT manifestations observed were coincided with the activity to have its mid-level reached. Registration in the evolution of highly immunogenic Ab-proteases would illustrate either risks of transformation of subclinical stages into clinical ones, or risks of exacerbations to develop. The activity of Ab-proteases in joining with particular sequence would confirm an increase subclinical and predictive (translational) value of the tools as applicable for personalized monitoring protocols. Ab-proteases can be programmed and re-programmed to suit the needs of the body metabolism or could be designed for the development of principally new catalysts with no natural counterparts. Future studies on targeted Ab-mediated proteolysis could yield a translational tool for predicting demyelination and thus the disability of the MS patients.
