Seizures exacerbate excitatory‐inhibitory imbalance and tau seeding effects in 5XFAD mice

چکیده

Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) neuropathology is largely driven by two pathological proteins, tau, and ß-amyloid, both of which induce neuronal hyperexcitability are thought to play a role in the high comorbidity between AD epilepsy. Central progression spread tau along networks likely via activity. Our previous work suggests bidirectional relationship epilepsy with seizures inducing pathology vice versa (Gourmaud et al. Brain, 2021; awab268). Additionally, there evidence excitatory-inhibitory (E:I) imbalance reminiscent E:I imbalances involved epileptogenesis. Thus, we hypothesized that can exacerbate models this enhanced promotes propagation tau. Method We utilized Five times familial (5XFAD) model an established pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) kindling method these WT littermates. To seen AD, cohort animals also underwent intracerebral injection human AD-derived (AD-tau) into hippocampus overlying cortex prior seizure induction. Western blots were performed for Cl− transporters, K+- Cl−cotransporter 2 (KCC2) Na+-K+-Cl− cotransporter 1 (NKCC1), α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) subunits, GluA2 GluA1, GABAAR subunits α1 α3, given their roles balance. AD-tau injected mice examined western blot phospho-tau AT8 [Ser202; Thr205] AT180 [Thr231] sites proximal (hippocampus) distal (frontal cortex) site determine effects on propagation. Result PTZ-kindling dysregulation Cl- NKCC1 KCC2 (p<0.05, n = 12-19) GluA2/GluA1 ratios 5XFAD mice, while showed decreased GABAARα1 12-19). No significant changes nor AT180, but induction elevated levels frontal across genotypes 5-9). Conclusion data suggest mice. drugs targeting mechanisms balance or controlling antiseizure medication shows therapeutic efficacy patients comorbid seizures.

Antisense reduction of tau in adult mice protects against seizures.

Tau, a microtubule-associated protein, is implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in regard to both neurofibrillary tangle formation and neuronal network hyperexcitability. The genetic ablation of tau substantially reduces hyperexcitability in AD mouse lines, induced seizure models, and genetic in vivo models of epilepsy. These data demonstrate that tau is an important regula...

Proteopathic tau seeding predicts tauopathy in vivo.

Transcellular propagation of protein aggregates, or proteopathic seeds, may drive the progression of neurodegenerative diseases in a prion-like manner. In tauopathies such as Alzheimer's disease, this model predicts that tau seeds propagate pathology through the brain via cell-cell transfer in neural networks. The critical role of tau seeding activity is untested, however. It is unknown whether...

Evaluation of Anticonvulsant Effects of Nimodipine and Ascorbic Acid on Pentylenetetrazole- Induced Seizures in Mice

Introduction: The mechanisms underlying the vulnerability of the brain to seizures remains unknown. Calcium ions influx and oxidative stress have been implicated in a variety of acute and chronic epileptogenic conditions. The present study was aimed at investigating the effects of nimodipine and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) alone and in combination on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) - induced seizures ...

Arsenic and Oxidative Stress in Pentylenetetrazole-induced Seizures in Mice

Background and Objective: Chronic arsenic toxicity is a widespread problem; the role of brain oxidative stress has been suggested in the genesis of epilepsy and in the post-seizure neuronal death. However, studies investigating the effects of arsenic on seizure and related mechanisms are limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of prolonged exposure to sodium arsenite on oxi...

Anticonvulsive and antioxidant effects of pioglitazone on pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures in mice

Introduction: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder caused by uncontrollable discharge of neurons in the brain. After a seizure oxidative stress play an important role in the oxidative neuronal damage. In this study, we evaluated the anticonvulsant and antioxidant effects of pioglitazone, a PPAR-γ agonist that is used in type2 diabetes, on pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure in mice. Methods: In t...
