Abstract

Abstract: Objective: In the present study, we determined whether the glycogen phosphorylase(GP)inhibitor 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-arabinitol (DAB) ameliorates pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced acute seizure, neuroinflammation and memory impairment in rats. Methods: In experiment 1, rats were randomly divided into the Vehicle (n=5) and PTZ (n=5) groups, and received intraperitoneal injection of saline or PTZ (70 mg/kg), respectively. Hippocampal tissues were collected 30 min after drug injection. Western blot was used to examine the levels of GP expression. Colorimetric assay was used to determine the levels of lactate. In experiment 2, rats were randomly divided into the Vehicle+Vehicle (n=18), DAB+Vehicle (n=18), Vehicle+PTZ (n=19) and DAB+PTZ (n=18) groups. Rats received intracerebroventricular injection of PBS or DAB (50 μg/2 μl) 15 min before receiving intraperitoneal injection of saline or PTZ (70 mg/kg). Behavioural assays and the Racine scale were used to evaluate seizure severity. Western blot was used to examine the levels of targeted protein of hippocampal tissues. Novel object recognition test was used to assess memory performance. Results: ① Compared with the Vehicle group, the levels of GP and lactate in the hippocampal tissues of the PTZ group were increased significantly (both P＜0.01). ② Compared with the Vehicle+PTZ group, in the DAB+PTZ group, the levels of myoclonic body jerk latency, forelimb clonus latency and tonic-clonic seizure latency were increased significantly (all P＜0.01), while the duration of seizure and seizure scores were decreased significantly (both P＜0.01). ③ Compared with the Vehicle+Vehicle group, in the Vehicle +PTZ group, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IBA-1 and GFAP in the hippocampal tissues were increased significantly (all P＜0.01), and the discrimination index in the novel object recognition test was decreased significantly (P＜0.01). Compared with the Vehicle+PTZ group, in the DAB+PTZ group, the levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, IBA-1 and GFAP in the hippocampal tissues were decreased significantly (all, P＜0.01), while the discrimination index in the novel object recognition test was increased significantly (P＜0.01). Conclusion: DAB ameliorates PTZ-induced seizure, neuroinflammation and memory impairment in rats, suggesting that DAB may serve as a novel agent for potential clinical treatment of epilepsy.
