To clarify the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the pathogenesis of seizures in susceptible EL mice, we investigated effects of three drugs potentially related to NO production, MK-801, dantrolene, and FK506, on convulsive seizures and brain NO metabolites (NOx). MK-801 or dantrolene, but not FK506, suppressed convulsive seizures in EL mice; only MK-801 reduced NOx in the brain. Our results suggested involvement of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-channel complex and intracellular calcium mobilization, but not calcineurin, in the convulsions of EL mice.
为阐明一氧化氮(NO)在易患癫痫的EL小鼠癫痫发病机制中的作用,我们研究了三种可能与NO生成相关的药物,即MK-801、丹曲林和FK506,对惊厥性癫痫发作和脑内NO代谢产物(NOx)的影响。MK-801或丹曲林可抑制EL小鼠的惊厥性癫痫发作,但FK506无此作用;只有MK-801可降低脑内NOx水平。我们的结果表明,N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体通道复合物和细胞内钙动员参与了EL小鼠的惊厥发作,而钙调神经磷酸酶未参与其中。
