EP2 receptor agonist ONO-AE1-259-01 attenuates pentylenetetrazole- and pilocarpine-induced seizures but causes hippocampal neurotoxicity
چکیده انگلیسی


- Systemic administration of the selective EP2 agonist ONO-AE1-259-01 decreases seizures.
- ONO-AE1-259-01 causes cell death in all hippocampal formation subfields.
- ONO-AE1-259-01 additively increases pilocarpine-induced pyknosis in CA1 subfield.
- A potential anticonvulsant use of ONO-AE1-259-01 is limited by its toxic effects.

Epilepsy is a common and devastating neurological disease affecting more than 50 million people worldwide. Accumulating experimental and clinical evidence suggests that inflammatory pathways contribute to the development of seizures in various forms of epilepsy. In this context, while the activation of the PGE2 EP2 receptor causes early neuroprotective and late neurotoxic effects, the role of EP2 receptor in seizures remains unclear. We investigated whether the systemic administration of the highly selective EP2 agonist ONO-AE1-259-01 prevented acute pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)- and pilocarpine-induced seizures. The effect of ONO-AE1-259-01 on cell death in the hippocampal formation of adult male mice seven days after pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE) was also evaluated. ONO-AE1-259-01 (10 μg/kg, s.c.) attenuated PTZ- and pilocarpine-induced seizures, evidenced by the increased latency to seizures, decreased number and duration of seizures episodes and decreased mean amplitude of electrographic seizures. ONO-AE1-259-01 and pilocarpine alone significantly increased the number of pyknotic cells per se in all hippocampal subfields. The EP2 agonist also additively increased pilocarpine-induced pyknosis in the pyramidal cell layer of CA1 but reduced pilocarpine-induced pyknosis in the granule cell layer of the dentate gyrus (DG). Although the systemic administration of ONO-AE1-259-01 caused a significant anticonvulsant effect in our assays, this EP2 agonist caused extensive cell death. These findings limit the likelihood of EP2 receptor agonists being considered as novel potential anticonvulsant drugs.
