Abstract/OtherAbstract:

Clinical evidence implicates peripheral inflammatory diseases as comorbid factors in epilepsy. The present study was designed to determine the effect of the acute phase of antiviral response on seizure susceptibility. Young adult mice were intraperitoneally injected with 12 mg/kg of a viral mimic, polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (PIC). After 48 h, seizures were induced by subcutaneous injection of kainic acid (KA). PIC-pretreatment profoundly enhances vulnerability to excitotoxic insult as evidenced by increased seizure intensity and extended duration of status epilepticus. These results support the notion that peripheral viral infections may alter brain function resulting in enhanced predilection to seizures. |
