Abstract Introduction Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is caused by autoantibodies attacking neuronal cell surface antigens and/or synaptic antigens. We previously demonstrated that S100A6 was hypomethylated in patients with AE and it promoted B lymphocyte infiltration through the simulated blood–brain barrier (BBB). In this study, we focused on epigenetic regulation of , process which affects infiltration, therapeutic potential antibodies. Methods enrolled collected serum from 10 healthy control (HC) subjects. Promoter methylation 5‐azacytidine treatment assays were conducted to observe . The effect lymphocytes analyzed using an adhesion assay leukocyte transendothelial migration (LTEM) assay. A LTEM also used compare effects HCs, patients, recombinant protein, antibodies lymphocytes. Result promoter confirmed regulated DNA methylation. study addition enhanced between a BBB endothelial line concentration‐dependent manner. showed as well S100A6, could be attenuated Conclusion clarified under helped adhere infiltrate layer, counteracted Therefore, profile marker activity AE, countering may target for AE.
