Although in the last two decades we have increased our knowledge on the molecular basis underlying the pathophysiology of LD, only a small part of the research in LD has paid attention to the mechanisms triggering one of the most lethal features of the disease: epilepsy. Recent studies in our laboratory suggested that a dysfunction in the activity of the mouse astrocytic glutamate transporter 1 (GLT-1) could contribute to epilepsy in LD. In this work, we present new in vivo evidence of a GLT-1 dysfunction, contributing to increased levels of extracellular glutamate in the hippocampus of a mouse model of Lafora disease (Epm2b-/-, lacking the E3-ubiquitin ligase malin). According to our results, Epm2b-/-mice showed an increased neuronal activity, as assessed by c-fos expression, in the hippocampus, an area directly correlated to epileptogenesis. This brain area presented lesser ability to remove synaptic glutamate after local GLT-1 blockade with dihydrokainate (DHK), in comparison to Epm2b+/+ animals, suggesting that these animals have a compromised glutamate clearance when a challenging condition was presented. These results correlate with a hippocampal upregulation of the minor isoform of the Glt-1 gene, named Glt-1b, which has been associated with compensatory mechanisms activated in response to neuronal stress. In conclusion, the hippocampus of Epm2b-/-mice presents an in vivo impairment in glutamate uptake which could contribute to epileptogenesis."xsd:string |
