Mutations in the leucine-rich, glioma inactivated 1 (Lgi1) gene have been identified in patients with autosomal dominant lateral temporal lobe epilepsy (ADLTE). We previously reported about Lgi1 mutant rats, carrying a missense mutation (L385R), generated by gene-driven N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis. LGI1 protein secretion in the mutant rats was inhibited as the same as in the majority of ADLTE patients. Lgi1heterozygous mutant rats (Lgi1L385R/+) showed generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) in response to acoustic stimuli (Baulac S et al., 2012). In the present study, we further assessed Lgi1L385R/+ rats as an animal model of ADLTE.
In Lgi1L385R/+ rats, we performed electroencephalography (EEG) and brain Fos immunohistochemistry to explore the focus of the audiogenic seizures, and microarray analysis to find genes showing expression changes after GTCS. Ictal EEG showed bilateral rhythmic delta activities and rhythmic spikes in Lgi1L385R/+ rats while interictal EEG showed no abnormality. An elevated level of Fos expression indicated greater neural excitability to acoustic stimuli in Lgi1L385R/+ rats, especially in the temporal lobe, thalamus etc. Microarray analysis revealed some genes that showed expression changes after GTCS and may be involved in epilepsy.
The normal findings in interictal EEG and the focus revealed by Fos expression are consistent with those in ADLTE patients. Seizure-related genes identified in microarray analysis may be responsible for audiogenic seizures. We propose that Lgi1L385R/+ rats are a highly appropriate model for ADLTE, and results in this study can be clues of the seizure onset mechanism.
