Research Abstract |
Free radicals play a critical role in excitotoxin-induced neuronal death. However, it remains unclear which proteins are paticularly vulnerable to excitotoxin-induced oxidative damage in the epileptogenic lesion of patients with hippocampal sclerosis. To identify potential proteins specifically damaged in sclerotic hippocampus of epileptic patients, we performed proteomic analysis of carbonylated proteins in the hippocampus and temporal neocortex prepared from patients with and without hippocampal sclerosis. We found some target proteins that were particularly carbonylated in the sclerotic hippocampus.
