Regulation of Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase on SCN2A in SH-SY5Y cells as a potential therapy for temporal lobe epilepsy

چکیده
In order to evaluate SCN2A as a candidate gene for epileptic susceptibility and the use of a Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) supplement as a potential therapy for epilepsy, SCN2A expression in the cortex and the correlation between SCN2A and Cu-Zn SOD in SH-SY5Y cells were examined. SCN2A expression and the concentration of Cu-Zn SOD in the cerebral cortexes of patients with primary and secondary temporal lobe epilepsy and normal brain cortex tissues were detected. By transfecting SH-SY5Y cells, the expression of SCN2A and the concentration of Cu-Zn SOD was analyzed and the single-cell patch clamp technique was employed in order to investigate the changes in sodium ion levels following SCN2A knockdown. SCN2A level restoration was also investigated with a Cu-Zn SOD supplement using an expression study and evaluated the changes in sodium ion levels following SCN2A knockdown. SCN2A expression and Cu-Zn SOD concentration decreased in the epileptic cerebral cortex. Following SCN2A knockdown, the concentration of Cu-Zn SOD declined and the si-SCN2A vector group showed a repeated discharge. Furthermore, the Cu-Zn SOD concentration was capable of restoring the expression of SCN2A following SCN2A knockdown in SH-SY5Y cells and the overexpression of Cu-Zn SOD prevented the repeated discharge caused by si-SCN2A. The results indicated that there is a low expression of SCN2A and Cu-Zn SOD in the epileptic cerebral cortex and provided novel insights into potential therapies for temporal lobe epilepsy.

P 111: Use of Stem Cell Therapy for Treatment of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE)
Epilepsy is one of the most common neuroinflammatory disorders that affect more than 50 million people worldwide. Excessive electrical discharges in neurons following neural cell damage or loss leads to recurrent seizures, which are described as epilepsy. One of the most common and difficult to treat types of epilepsy is Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE), which results from hippocampal sclerosis. Cu...
