[摘要]目的 探索局灶腦皮質發(fā)育不良(FCD)性癲癇病灶中GAD-65/67表達分布情況。方法 收集廣州醫(yī)科大學附屬腦科醫(yī)院和廣州醫(yī)科大學附屬第二醫(yī)院2017年10月~2019年10月手術中切除的病灶標本,23例FCD癲癇患者手術切除病灶為實驗組,7例無癲癇發(fā)作正常腦組織為對照組,運用免疫組化染色方法,觀察GAD-65/67的表達分布,利用電子顯微鏡對免疫組化載玻片進行拍照,用IEE 7.0軟件進行圖像色差分析。結果 實驗組、對照組均可見GAD-65/67表達分布,對照組腦組織觀測到GAD-65/67均勻分布于神經纖維及突觸,實驗組病理組織學觀察到神經元形態(tài)異常、排列紊亂,GAD-65/67表達分布相應發(fā)生改變。結論 FCD由于發(fā)生大腦皮層發(fā)育異常,GAD-65/67分布異常,可能是導致γ-氨基丁酸的抑制功能減弱的重要原因。

[Abstract] Objective To explore the expression and distribution of GAD-65/67 in patients with ?forcal cortical dysplasia (FCD) epilepsy. Methods Surgical focus specimen of inpatients were collected from the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University and the Affiliated Second Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from October 2017 to October 2019. The expression of GAD-65/67 was observed by immunohistochemical staining in 23 patients with FCD epilepsy who underwent surgical resection (the experimental group) and 7 normal brain tissues without epilepsy (the control group). All the stained sections were examined under a microscope and photographed with a digital camera and the image chromatic aberration was analyzed by IEE 7.0 software. Results The expression of GAD-65/67 was found in both the experimental group and the control group. In the control group, GAD-65/67 was found to be evenly distributed in nerve fibers and synapses in brain tissue. In the experimental group, abnormal morphology and arrangement of neurons were observed and the expression and distribution of GAD-65/67 were changed correspondingly. Conclusion This study suggests that the abnormal distribution of GAD-65/67 may be attributed to the abnormal development of cerebral cortex in FCD, resulting in the decrease of GABA inhibition.

癲癇是常見的神經系統(tǒng)疾病,嚴重影響患者的生活質量,其中局灶腦皮質發(fā)育不良(FCD)是難治性癲癇的重要原因之一,其確切的發(fā)病機制仍不清楚,內科治療及外科手術仍難以控制癲癇發(fā)作[1-2]。有學者認為,癲癇是由大腦皮層神經網絡興奮性和抑制性因素之間的不平衡引起的過度興奮現(xiàn)象,再加上大量神經元群體中的強烈同步放電所引起[3],γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)是重要的中樞抑制性遞質,分布于神經軸突和小神經元,GABA由谷氨酰胺通過谷氨酸脫羧酶(GAD)的催化下合成,GAD是GABA的限速酶,GAD存在GAD65和GAD67兩種同工酶[4]。目前有研究表明GABA與癲癇、焦慮癥、精神分裂癥、僵硬綜合癥等疾病相關[5-6]。本研究擬通過FCD癲癇患者病灶處GAD-65/67的表達分布情況探討FCD相關性癲癇的發(fā)病機制,現(xiàn)報道如下。
