C-Met Receptors Deficiency Was Involved in Absence Seizures Development in WAG/Rij Rats
Background: A variety of receptors may be involved in the pathogenesis of absence seizures. The c-Met receptors have a critical role in modulating the GABAergic interneurons and creating a balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission, sensorimotor gating, and normal synaptic plasticity. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the changes of the c-Met receptor during the appearance of absence attacks in the experimental model of absence epilepsy. Methods: A total of 48 animals were divided into four groups of two- and six-month-old WAG/Rij and Wistar rats. Epileptic WAG/Rij rats showing SWP in electrocorticogram (ECoG) were included in the epileptic group. The two-month-old WAG/Rij rats as well as two- and six-month-old Wistar rats not exhibiting SWP in ECoG were selected as the non-epileptic. Gene (RT-PCR) and protein expression (western blotting) of c-Met receptors as well as c-Met protein distribution (immunohistochemistry) in the somatosensory cortex and hippocampus were assessed during seizure development of the absence attacks. Results: According to the study findings, a lower c-Met gene and protein expression, as well as a lower protein distribution, were observed in the hippocampus (P < 0.001, P < 0.05, and P < 0.001, respectively) and cortex (P < 0.01, P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively) of the two-month-old WAG/Rij rats compared to the same-age Wistar rats. Moreover, the data revealed a reduction of hippocampal and cortical c-Met protein expression (P < 0.001, for both) in six-month-old WAG/Rij rats compared to two-month-old ones. Six-month-old WAG/Rij rats had a lower cortical c-Met gene (P < 0.05) and protein expression (P < 0.001) as well as lower hippocampal and cortical protein distribution (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001) than the same-age Wistar rats. Conclusions: In sum, the c-Met receptor was found to play a significant role in the development of absence epilepsy. This receptor, therefore, may have been considered as an effective goal for absence seizure inhibition.
期刊介绍:
Archives of neuroscience is a clinical and basic journal which is informative to all practitioners like Neurosurgeons, Neurologists, Psychiatrists, Neuroscientists. It is the official journal of Brain and Spinal Injury Research Center. The Major theme of this journal is to follow the path of scientific collaboration, spontaneity, and goodwill for the future, by providing up-to-date knowledge for the readers. The journal aims at covering different fields, as the name implies, ranging from research in basic and clinical sciences to core topics such as patient care, education, procuring and correct utilization of resources and bringing to limelight the cherished goals of the institute in providing a standard care for the physically disabled patients. This quarterly journal offers a venue for our researchers and scientists to vent their innovative and constructive research works. The scope of the journal is as far wide as the universe as being declared by the name of the journal, but our aim is to pursue our sacred goals in providing a panacea for the intractable ailments, which leave a psychological element in the daily life of such patients. This authoritative clinical and basic journal was founded by Professor Madjid Samii in 2012.
