Objectives

Plenty of SH3 (POSH) was originally found to be a key regulator of neuronal apoptosis, axon outgrowth, and neuronal migration. However, the role of POSH in epilepsy has not been reported.

Methods

We investigated the expression of POSH in patients with intractable temporal epilepsy (TLE) and in a kainic acid (KA)-induced mouse model, and then we performed behavioral, electrophysiological and biochemical analyses after the lentivirus (LV)-mediated knockdown or overexpression of POSH in the KA-induced model.

Results

POSH overexpression shortened the latency of seizure onset, increased the frequency of spontaneous recurrent seizures, and increased the frequency of electrical epileptic discharges, while POSH knockdown had contrasting effects. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings confirmed that POSH overexpression and knockdown were associated with increased and decreased miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-mediated currents, respectively. Finally, co-immunoprecipitation showed that POSH and NMDA receptor subunit 1 (NMDAR1) precipitated with each other, and western blot analysis revealed that the surface expression of NMDAR1 was altered in the hippocampus of epileptic mice.

Conclusion

These results show that POSH plays a critical role in the progression of epileptic seizures via NMDAR trafficking and suggest that the protein is a novel target for the treatment of human epilepsy."xsd:string
