PG - 1093-1111 LID - 10.1007/s13311-018-0653-0 [doi] AB - Inflammation is implicated in epileptogenesis. Activated microglia and macrophages (MG/MPhi) are found in the brains of patients with epilepsy-related diseases and animal models of epilepsy. It is not yet known how the MG/MPhi activation phenotype affects pathological changes in the brain after a single seizure. In this study, we had 2 main purposes: first, to characterize post-status epilepticus (SE) inflammation by tracking MG/MPhi polarization, and, second, to explore the role of an innate immune receptor adaptor protein, namely, myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88), in the induction of SE in a mouse model. A lithium-pilocarpine model of seizure conditions was generated in C57BL/6 mice. The intensity and distribution of MG/MPhi polarization were tracked by fluorescent immunohistochemistry and Western blotting for the polarization markers inducible nitrogen oxygenized synthase, arginase-1, CD163, and mannose receptor. We observed steadily increasing M1 MG/MPhi along with MyD88 signal upregulation after SE in the hippocampi of mice, whereas the M2 marker arginase-1 was localized mainly in astrocytes rather than in MG/MPhi. Inhibition or gene knockout of MyD88 reduced M1 MG/MPhi and gliosis although increasing M2 MG/MPhi in the hippocampi of SE mice. MyD88 inhibition also augmented glutamate transporter 1 expression and reduced N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor NR1 subunit expression in the hippocampus to protect pyramidal neurons from apoptosis. These data suggest that MG/MPhi polarization after SE impacts the pathological outcome of the hippocampus via MyD88 signaling and point to MyD88 as a potential neuroprotective target for epilepsy therapy.
