Existing therapeutic approaches predominantly revolve around neurocentric mechanisms, and fail to control seizures in approximately one-third of patients. This underscores the pressing need for novel and complementary treatment approaches to address this gap. An increasing body of literature points to a role for glial cells, including microglia and astrocytes, in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. Notably, microglial cells, which serve as pivotal inflammatory mediators within the epileptic brain, have received increasing attention over recent years. These immune cells react to epileptogenic insults, regulate neuronal processes, and play diverse roles during the process of epilepsy development. Additionally, astrocytes, another integral non-neuronal brain cells, have garnered increasing recognition for their dynamic contributions to the pathophysiology of epilepsy. Their complex interactions with neurons and other glial cells involve modulating synaptic activity and neuronal excitability, thereby influencing the aberrant networks formed during epileptogenesis. This review explores the alterations in microglial and astrocytic function and their mechanisms of communication following an epileptogenic insult, examining their contribution to epilepsy development. By comprehensively studying these mechanisms, potential avenues could emerge for refining therapeutic strategies and ameliorating the impact of this complex neurological disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":11847,"journal":{"name":"Epilepsy & Behavior","volume":"163 ","pages":"110219"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142853404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The neuroendocrine response to stress is mediated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and HPA axis dysfunction worsens epilepsy outcomes, increasing seizure burden, behavioral comorbidities, and risk for SUDEP in mice. Early life stress (ELS) reprograms the HPA axis into adulthood, impacting both the basal and stress-induced activity. Thus, we propose that ELS may influence epilepsy outcomes by influencing the function of the HPA axis. To test this hypothesis, we utilized the maternal separation paradigm and examined the impact on seizure susceptibility. We show that ELS exerts a sex dependent effect on seizure susceptibility in response to acute administration of the chemoconvulsant, kainic acid, which is associated with an altered relationship between seizure activity and HPA axis function. To further examine the impact of ELS on epilepsy outcomes, we utilized the intrahippocampal kainic acid model of chronic epilepsy in mice previously exposed to maternal separation. We find that the relationship between corticosterone levels and the extent of epileptiform activity is altered in mice subjected to ELS. We demonstrate that ELS impacts behavioral outcomes associated with chronic epilepsy in a sex-dependent manner, with females being more affected. We also observe reduced mortality (presumed SUDEP) in female mice subjected to ELS, consistent with previous findings suggesting a role for HPA axis dysfunction in SUDEP risk. These data demonstrate for the first time that ELS influences epilepsy outcomes and suggest that previous life experiences may impact the trajectory of epilepsy.</p>","PeriodicalId":11847,"journal":{"name":"Epilepsy & Behavior","volume":"163 ","pages":"110217"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142846247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whilst people with IGE may consider themselves seizure free, they often experience interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) that may be associated with unrecognised periods of impaired awareness. As such, the presence of long IEDs associated with unrecognised loss of awareness pose a major challenge in allowing these individuals to drive safely, particularly since not all IEDs are associated with impaired awareness. Here we conduct a systematic review of the literature to characterise factors associated with impaired awareness during IEDs in adults. This review includes articles written in English and was limited to patients with IGE ≥16 years with evidence of IEDs on EEG. The outcomes assessed included electroclinical descriptions of IED manifestations and fitness to drive assessments in people with IGE. The systematic literature search yielded 6 studies that met the inclusion criteria. A quality assessment of the cohort studies included was conducted using a modified Newcastle Ottawa Scale. Prior research has utilised driving simulations and prolonged video EEG monitoring for fitness to drive assessments delivering positive outcomes. They have shown that the clinical manifestation of IEDs is dependent upon the discharge duration. Furthermore, it has been shown that IED morphology can be described as generalised spike or polyspike wave discharges. Additionally, expert opinion has demonstrated significant variability in practice concerning driving clearance for patients with IGEs, with only a minority utilising prolonged EEG monitoring. This review highlights our current inability to reliably predict the cognitive status of a people with IGE during IEDs. However, emerging research on the use of machine learning algorithms to analyse IED waveforms appears promising, offering a potential solution to this issue.</p>","PeriodicalId":11847,"journal":{"name":"Epilepsy & Behavior","volume":"163 ","pages":"110197"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142834767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Susceptibility to autoimmune disease has been associated with Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) subtypes. Therefore, this study aimed to determine if there are common HLA types in anti-GAD65 antibody associated epilepsy cases compared to epilepsy controls.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>People with anti-GAD65 associated epilepsy and epilepsy controls were recruited from three Brisbane Hospitals from 2021 to 2023. Cases had high titre anti-GAD65 antibodies confirmed in CSF. High resolution genotyping for class I and II HLA to 3 fields was performed using next generation sequencing.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>10 anti-GAD65 cases (8 with epilepsy and 2 with post-encephalitic epilepsy) and 45 controls were included. 6 cases (all female) had co-morbid autoimmune disease. A single class II association was found for DPB1*02 (Padj = 0.0109), which was identified in 7 of the cases (70 % vs 7.7 % controls). Significant association was preserved at high resolution for HLA-DPB1*02:02:01.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>HLA association in anti-GAD65 antibody associated epilepsy might provide preliminary evidence to implicate an immune aetiology. DPB1*02 may confer a susceptibility to anti-GAD65 associated epilepsy and this class II association suggests a role for T cells in the pathophysiology.</p>","PeriodicalId":11847,"journal":{"name":"Epilepsy & Behavior","volume":"163 ","pages":"110179"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142823799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
