Research Abstract |
As well known the knockdown EAAC-1 by anti-sense induces epileptic convulsion in rats, EAAC-1 is important protein to connect glutamate re-uptake with GABA synthesis. It is important study to elucidate the role of glutamate transporter associated protein 3-18 (GTRAP3-18), because GTRAP3-18 inhibitory regulates the glutamate re-uptake through EAAC-1 into GABAergic neurons. Hippocampal glutamate and GABA basal release in GTRAP3-18 knockdown group higher rather than those of sense-injected group suggested knockdown of GTRAP3-18 promotes GABA synthesis. Sustenance of high seizure susceptibility in the PTZ kindled state and the existence of inter-paroxysmal period could be explained by synchronization of glutamatergic neuron caused by the enhanced GABAergic system.
