摘要
目的主要研究迷走神经刺激(VNS)对癫痫大鼠脑内多药耐药蛋白(P-gP)表达的调控作用。方法采用氯化锂-匹鲁卡品制备颞叶癫痫大鼠,苯巴比妥钠(PB)诱导建立药物难治性癫痫(RE)大鼠模型。在此模型基础上,大鼠按随机数字表顺序分为四组:单纯VNS(A)组、VNS+PB(B)组、假VNS+PB(C)组、生理盐水(D)组。VNS组行刺激电极植入术,通过改进的VNS参数(频率30H2,波宽500μs,电流0.75mA,刺激时间30s,间歇5min,12h/d)进行电刺激,观察各组大鼠VNS前后发作次数,检测各组P-gP表达含量的变化。结果(1)A、B组癫痫平均发作次数分别减少79.6%和85.9%,C、D组无明显改善;(2)B组P-gP过表达量与C组相比差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05),A组P-gP表达量较D组差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论VNS疗法可以有效降低RE的发作次数,对由药物引起的P-gP的过表达具有较强的抑制作用,与药物联合应用可以达到较好的治疗效果。
Objective To study the role of vagus nerve stimulation in the regulating of muhidrug resistance genes related to protein (P- glyeoprotein ) overexpression in rat brains with drug refractory epilepsy (mainly refers to the hippoeampus and the piriform cortex). Methods Lithium -Pilocarpine was used to kindle the rats to establish the temporal lobe epilepsy model and then rat models were induced with drug- refractory epilepsy by Sodium phenobarbital (PB). The rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, and then implanted with VNS electrodes. Modified parameters were used in the procedure of VNS ( frequency -30Hz, pluse width - 0. 5ms, current - 0. 5 mA, stimulation time - 30 s, interval - 5 min, 12h/d). Fluctuations in epileptic seizure frequencies were observed, and the amount of P - gp overexpression was detected before and after four weeks in each treatment group. Results ( 1 ) The VNS and VNS + PB groups had a 79. 6% and 85.9% decrease in the average number of seizures. The sham VNS + PB and saline groups had no significant improvements ; (2) The expression of P - gp levels in the VNS + PB group had significant statistical differences compared with the sham VNS + PB group (P 〈 0.05 ) . Conclusion VNS can effectively reduce the frequency of seizures of the RE, and it has a strong inhibitory effect on the overexpression of the multidrug resistance protein ( P - gp) o Furthermore, better therapeutic effect can be achieved with this drug combination.
