OBJECTIVE Neurons containing parvalbumin (PV), a calcium-binding protein, in the hippocampus, play an important role in hippocampal excitability in epilepsy. In this study, we examined temporal and spatial changes of PV immunoreactivity and protein content in the hippocampus after adrenalectomy (ADX) in seizure sensitive (SS) gerbils, which are hereditarily seizure-prone. METHODS PV distribution and change in SS gerbils after ADX were examined in the hippocampal CA1 region and in the dentate gyrus (DG) using immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. RESULTS PV immunoreactivity in sham-operated SS gerbils was detected in many CA1 pyramidal cells. Three hours after ADX, PV immunoreactivity significantly decreased in CA1 pyramidal cells and thereafter PV immunoreactivity began to increase by 4 days after ADX. Four days after ADX, PV immunoreactivity was significantly higher than that in the sham-operated SS gerbils. In the DG of sham-operated SS gerbils, PV immunoreactivity was mainly detected in polymorphic cells. Three hours after ADX, PV immunoreactivity in the DG significantly decreased in the polymorphic layer. Thereafter, PV-immunoreactive neurons decreased with time after ADX. Western blot analysis showed that change in PV protein content was similar to immunohistochemical data after ADX in SS gerbils. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that PV is changed in hippocampus after ADX and PV may be associated with the regulation of seizure activity.
