项目摘要

Project Summary Accumulating evidence in animal models highlights that inflammation ensuing in the brain during status epilepticus (SE) may play a determinant role in ongoing seizures and their long-term detrimental consequences, independent of an infection or auto-immune cause. Studies in a multitude of animal models demonstrate that SE causes a rapid and intense inflammatory cascade in the forebrain involving interactions among neurons, reactive astrocytes, activated microglia, vascular endothelial cells and, eventually, infiltrating neutrophils and monocytes from the blood. The pathophysiological interactions among the various inflammatory molecules, and the sequence of events leading to their induction, have not yet been dissected. The broad cytokine burst and gliosis following SE is blunted in mice that have genetic ablations of COX-2 restricted to those principal forebrain neurons in which COX-2 is normally induced by SE, pointing to a role for COX-2 pathways in SE-induced inflammation including breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which is sufficient to produce epilepsy. Previous work showed that the EP2 receptor mediates much of the COX-2 effect. We hypothesize that SE-related morbidity is largely due to activation of microglial EP2 receptors, which modulates production of cytokines that degrade the BBB. Our specific aims are: 1. To test the hypothesis that activated microglia rather than inflammatory monocytes are responsible for EP2- regulated BBB breakdown after seizures; 2. To test the hypothesis that IL- -secreted mediator and Epac the major EP2 signaling pathway that degrades the integrity of the blood-brain barrier after SE; 3. To determine whether EP2 activation plays a dominant role in the development of epilepsy or its comorbidities after SE. To address these aims we employ in vitro culture models of the BBB and in vivo SE models with cell- specific conditional knockouts of EP2. Immunohistochemical, western blot, FACS, qRT-PCR, EEG and behavioral assays are performed.

项目摘要动物模型中积累的证据表明，在癫痫持续状态下，大脑随后发生炎症（SE）可能在持续的癫痫发作及其长期有害后果中起着决定性作用，独立感染或自动免疫原因。在多种动物模型中的研究表明，SE会导致迅速和前脑的强烈炎症级联反应，涉及神经元之间相互作用，反应性星形胶质细胞，活化的小胶质细胞，血管内皮细胞以及最终从浸润的嗜中性粒细胞和单核细胞血。各种炎症分子之间的病理生理相互作用以及事件的序列导致他们的归纳，尚未解剖。 SE之后的宽细胞因子爆发和神经胶质发生在具有COX-2遗传消融的小鼠中，COX-2的主要前脑神经元仅限于那些主要的前脑神经元通常是由SE引起的，指出COX-2途径在SE引起的炎症中的作用血脑屏障（BBB）足以产生癫痫。以前的工作表明EP2受体介导许多COX-2效应。我们假设与SE相关的发病率主要是由于激活小胶质细胞EP2受体，可调节降解BBB的细胞因子的产生。我们的具体目标是：1。为了测试激活的小胶质细胞而非炎性单核细胞的假设是EP2- 癫痫发作后受监管的BBB分解； 2。检验IL-分泌的假设调解器和EPAC是SE后血脑屏障的完整性降低的主要EP2信号通路。 3。确定EP2激活在癫痫的发展中是否起主要作用 SE之后。为了解决这些目标，我们采用了BBB的体外培养模型和细胞模型的体外培养模型 EP2的特定条件敲除。免疫组织化学，Western印迹，FACS，QRT-PCR，EEG和行为进行测定。
