PG - 113324 LID - S0166-4328(21)00212-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbr.2021.113324 [doi] AB - Epidemiological data suggest that elevated homocysteine is associated with migraine with aura. However, how homocysteine contributes to migraine is still unclear. Here, we tested whether hyperhomocysteinemia (hHCY) promotes cortical spreading depression (CSD), a phenomenon underlying migraine with aura, and whether hHCY contributes to pain behavior. hHCY was induced by dietary methionine in female rats while the testing was performed on their 6-8week-old offspring. CSD and multiple unit activity (MUA) induced by KCl were recorded from the primary somatosensory cortex, S1, using multichannel electrodes. In hHCY rats, compared to control, we found: i) higher probability of CSD occurrence; ii) induction of CSD by lower concentrations of KCl; iii) faster horizontal propagation of CSD; iv) smaller CSD with longer duration; v) higher frequency of MUA at CSD onset along with slower reappearance. Rats with hHCY demonstrated high level of locomotor activity and grooming while spent less time in the central area of the open field, indicating anxiety. These animals showed light sensitivity and facial mechanical allodinia. Thus, hHCY acquired at birth promotes multiple features of migraine such as higher cortical excitability, mechanical allodynia, photophobia, and anxiety. Our results provide the first experimental explanation for the higher occurrence of migraine with aura in patients with hHCY. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
