Abstract

The mechanisms of impairment in long-term potentiation after status epilepticus (SE) remain unclear. We investigated the properties of LTP induced by theta-burst stimulation in hippocampal slices of rats 3 h and 1, 3, and 7 days after SE. Seizures were induced in 3-week old rats by a single injection of pentylenetetrazole (PTZ). Only animals with generalized seizures lasting more than 30 min were included in the experiments. The results revealed that LTP was strongly attenuated in the CA1 hippocampal area after PTZ-induced SE as compared with that in control animals. Saturation of synaptic responses following epileptic activity does not explain weakening of LTP because neither the quantal size of the excitatory responses nor the slopes of the input-output curves for field excitatory postsynaptic potentials changed in the post-SE rats. After PTZ-induced SE, NMDA-dependent LTP was suppressed, and LTP transiently switched to the mGluR-dependent form. This finding does not appear to have been reported previously in the literature. An antagonist of NMDA receptors, D-2-amino-5-phosphonovalerate, did not block LTP induction in 3-h and 1-day post-SE slices. An antagonist of mGluR, FTIDS, completely prevented LTP in 1-day post-SE slices; whereas it did not affect LTP induction in control and post-SE slices at the other studied times. mGluR-dependent LTP was postsynaptically expressed and did not require NMDA receptor activation. Recovery of NMDA-dependent LTP occurred 7 day after SE. Transient switching between NMDA-dependent LTP and mGluR1-dependent LTP could play a role in the pathogenesis of acquired epilepsy.
