摘要
Cardiac arrest and resuscitation were used to induce brain damage and susceptibility to sound-triggered seizures in Sprague-Dawley rats. Glucose preloading was used to vary seizure susceptibility. Because loop diuretics can block these seizures, we investigated changes in KCC2, a potassium-chloride cotransporter, in the inferior colliculus - the origin of the seizures. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we found that collicular KCC2 mRNA levels covaried with seizure susceptibility in these animals. Using quantitative PCR, we found that a fivefold increase in collicular KCC2 mRNA levels was associated with a doubling of seizure incidence. A hypothesis linking KCC2 activity to seizure susceptibility is presented. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
