abstract = {Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) is a convulsant used to model
epileptic seizures in rats. In the PTZ-model, altered heat
shock protein 27 (HSP-27) expression highlights
seizure-affected astrocytes, which play an important role in
glutamate and GABA metabolism. This raises the question
whether impaired neurotransmitter metabolism leads to an
imbalance in neurotransmitter receptor expression.
Consequently, we investigated the effects of seizures on the
densities of seven different neurotransmitter receptors in
rats which were repeatedly treated with PTZ (40 mg/kg) over
a period of 14 days. Quantitative in vitro receptor
autoradiography was used to measure the regional binding
site densities of the glutamate
alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid
(AMPA), kainate and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors,
the adenosine receptor type 1 (A(1)), which is part of the
system controlling glutamate release, and the
gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors GABA(A) and GABA(B)
as well as the GABA(A)-associated benzodiazepine (BZ)
binding sites in each rat. Our results demonstrate altered
receptor densities in brain regions of PTZ-treated animals,
including the HSP-27 expressing foci (i.e. amygdala,
piriform and entorhinal cortex, dentate gyrus). A general
decrease of kainate receptor densities was observed together
with an increase of NMDA binding sites in the hippocampus,
the somatosensory, piriform and the entorhinal cortices.
Furthermore, A(1) binding sites were decreased in the
amygdala and hippocampal CA1 region (CA1), while BZ binding
sites were increased in the dentate gyrus and CA1. Our data
demonstrate the impact of PTZ induced seizures on the
densities of kainate, NMDA, A(1) and BZ binding sites in
epileptic brain. These changes are not restricted to regions
showing glial impairment. Thus, an altered balance between
different excitatory (NMDA) and modulatory receptors (A(1),
BZ binding sites, kainate) shows a much wider regional
distribution than that of glial HSP-27 expression,
indicating that receptor changes are not following the glial
stress responses, but may precede the HSP-27 expression.},
