BACKGROUND Adenosine A1 receptor (AA1R) is widely present in the central nervous system, exerting brain protective antiepileptic effects, mainly by binding corresponding G proteins. We evaluated the neuroprotective effects of AA1R on hippocampal neuronal injury after lithium chloride-pilocarpine-induced epilepsy in rats. METHODS A total of 60 male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 15/group): normal control, epilepsy, epilepsy + AA1R antagonist (DPCPX), and epilepsy + AA1R agonist (2-CAdo). An epilepsy model was established through kindling by lithium chloride-pilocarpine. The four groups were observed on days 1, 14, and 30. Pathological and morphological changes of hippocampal neurons were observed by HE staining; apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay. Caspase-3 and GABA receptor expressions were detected by Western blot. RESULTS In the hippocampal CA3 area of the epilepsy group, the cellular structure was not neatly arranged, and some neurons were swelling, thick, and incomplete. Compared with the epilepsy group at the same time point, cells in the epilepsy + DPCPX group had an increased distortion, disorganization, edema, cytoplasmic vacuoles, and degeneration. In the epilepsy + 2-CAdo group, cell arrangement was regular and orderly, and structural damages were lessened. Compared with the normal control group at the same time point, the epilepsy group underwent evident neuronal apoptosis, with a significantly higher apoptotic index (AI) (p < 0.05). Compared with the epilepsy group, the neuronal apoptosis of the epilepsy + DPCPX group was boosted, and the AI significantly increased (p < 0.05). The neuronal apoptosis of the epilepsy + 2-CAdo group was inhibited, and the AI significantly decreased (p < 0.05). Compared with the epilepsy group, the caspase-3 expression levels of the epilepsy + DPCPX group on days 14 and 30 were significantly upregulated (p < 0.05), but those of the epilepsy + 2-CAdo group were significantly downregulated (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS AA1R abated cell edema and reduced apoptosis, exerting neuroprotective effects on hippocampal neuronal injury after lithium chloride-pilocarpine-induced epilepsy.

D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).
