Understanding the basic mechanisms underlying seizures in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and possible therapeutic targets: A review

Abstract: Despite years of research, epilepsy remains a poorly understood disorder. In the past several years, work has been conducted on a variety of projects with the goal of better understanding the pathogenesis and progression of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), in particular, and how to exploit those properties to generate innovative therapies for treatment of refractory epilepsies. This review seeks to give an overview of common morphological and biochemical changes associated with epilepsy and proposed treat… Show more

“…This disorder is characterized by irreversible biochemical and structural changes in the hippocampus and several neocortical regions [2][3][4]. In spite of the extensive research of last decades resulting in the discovery of new antiepileptic drugs available for clinical practice, up to 80 % of MTLE patients remain refractory to medication [5].…”

“…Interestingly, researchers have discovered that chronic ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 treatment not only increased ectopic rMFS during early epileptogenesis but also increased hippocampus neuronal death in pilocarpine-treated rats (Kourdougli et al, 2015). Until now, it has been widely accepted that neuron loss is a characteristic pathological change in the epileptic foci of TLE (O'Dell et al, 2012). Hence, it is tempting to propose that upregulation of ROCK1/2 in TLE epileptic foci might play an important role in the pathological process of TLE by restraining mossy fiber sprouting and reducing neuronal death.…”

“…Therefore, understanding the biochemical mechanisms of intractable TLE is very urgent. The main pathological changes of TLE, including neuron degeneration, neurogenesis, gliosis, mossy fiber sprouting and synaptic reorganization, have been observed in the epileptic zone (Bae et al, 2010;O'Dell et al, 2012). Obviously, aberrant excitatory neural networks provide the anatomic basis for epilepsy (Fang et al, 2011).…”

“…Одну из ключевых ролей в эпилептогенезе при СГ играет спрутинг мшистых воло-кон: аномальные аксоны гранулярных клеток вместо ин-нервации СА реиннервируют молекулярные нейроны зубчатой извилины через возбуждающие синапсы, созда-вая таким образом локальные электрические цепи, спо-собные к синхронизации и генерации эпиприступа [14]. Увеличение количества астроцитов, глиоз также могут играть роль в эпилептогенезе, так как измененные астро-циты не могут в достаточной мере осуществлять обратный захват глутамата и калия.…”

“…Увеличение количества астроцитов, глиоз также могут играть роль в эпилептогенезе, так как измененные астро-циты не могут в достаточной мере осуществлять обратный захват глутамата и калия. Через механизм увеличения вы-броса глутамата и снижения обратного захвата, ингиби-ции гамма-аминомасляной кислоты могут действовать и провоспалительные цитокины, такие как IL-1β, IL-1, TNFα [14]. В этом отношении в патогенезе СГ обсуждает-ся роль вируса герпеса 6-го типа, ДНК которого обнару-живается в мозговой ткани у пациентов с височной эпи-лепсией [15].…”
