PG - 965-971 LID - 10.1007/s11064-020-02981-9 [doi] AB - With the deepening of research on epilepsy in recent decades, great progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. However, the clinical outcome remains unsatisfactory due to the confounding symptoms and complications, as well as complex intrinsic pathogenesis. A better understanding of the pathogenesis of epilepsy should be able to hinder the progress of the disease and improve the therapeutic effectiveness. Since the discovery of pannexin (Panx), unremitting efforts on the study of this gap junction protein family member have revealed its role in participating in the expression of various physiopathological processes. Among them, the activation or inhibition of Panx channel has been shown to regulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and other signals, which is very important for the onset and control of nervous system diseases including epilepsy. In this article, we summarize the factors influencing the regulation of Panx channel opening, hoping to find a way to interfere with the activation or inhibition of Panx channel that regulates the signal transduction of ATP and other factors so as to control the progression of epilepsy and improve the quality of life of epileptic patients who fail to respond to the existing medical therapies and those at risk of surgical treatment.
