Repeated systemic administration of low doses of kainic acid (KA) induces spontaneous convulsive seizures [Hellier JL, Patrylo PR, Buckmaster PS, Dudek FE. Recurrent spontaneous motor seizures after repeated low-dose systemic treatment with kainate: assessment of a rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy. Epilepsy Res 1998;31:73-84]. In this study, male Sprague-Dawley animals received intranigral transplants of a control cell line M213-2O, or a cell line transfected with human GAD67 cDNA (M213-2O CL4) [Conejero-Goldberg C, Tornatore C, Abi-Saab W, Monaco MC, Dillon-Carter O, Vawter M, et al. Transduction of human GAD67 cDNA into immortalized striatal cell lines using an Epstein-Barr virus-based plasmid vector increases GABA content. Exp Neurol 2000;161:453-61], or no transplant. Eight weeks after transplantation surgery, KA was administered (5 mg/kg/h) until animals reached stage V seizures as described by Racine [Racine RJ. Modification of seizure activity by electrical stimulation. II. Motor seizure. Electroencephalogr Clin Neurophysiol 1972;32:281-94]. The group transplanted with CL4 required a larger dose of KA and a longer latency to reach a stage V seizure. In addition, this group exhibited significantly fewer stage III and IV seizures. These results indicate that intranigral transplants of a GABA-producing cell line can decrease the number of kainic acid-induced seizures.
反复低剂量全身注射海藻酸(KA)可诱发自发性惊厥发作[赫利尔JL,帕特里洛PR,巴克马斯特PS,杜德克FE。反复低剂量全身注射海藻酸盐后反复出现的自发性运动性癫痫发作:颞叶癫痫大鼠模型的评估。癫痫研究1998;31:73 - 84]。在本研究中,雄性斯普拉格 - 道利动物接受黑质内移植对照细胞系M213 - 2O,或转染人GAD67 cDNA的细胞系(M213 - 2O CL4)[科内杰罗 - 戈德堡C,托纳托雷C,阿比 - 萨布W,莫纳科MC,狄龙 - 卡特O,沃特M等。使用基于爱泼斯坦 - 巴尔病毒的质粒载体将人GAD67 cDNA转导到永生化纹状体细胞系中可增加GABA含量。实验神经病学2000;161:453 - 61],或不进行移植。移植手术后8周,按照拉辛[拉辛RJ。电刺激对癫痫活动的改变。II。运动性癫痫。脑电图临床神经生理学1972;32:281 - 94]所述给予KA(5mg/kg/h),直至动物达到V期癫痫发作。移植CL4的组达到V期癫痫发作需要更大剂量的KA和更长的潜伏期。此外,该组出现的III期和IV期癫痫发作明显较少。这些结果表明,产生GABA的细胞系黑质内移植可减少海藻酸诱导的癫痫发作次数。
