ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the changes of IL-1β and IL-lra in hippocampus of rats with frequent febrile seizures(FS).Methods 21-day-old male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into 3 groupsnormal control group(NC group),hyperthermic control group(HC group)and febrile seizures group(FS group).IL-1β and IL-1ra levels in hippocampus of these rats were determined by ELISA methods,IL-1β mRNA and IL-1ra mRNA levels in hippocampus were measured by RT-PCR.Results IL-1β mRNA and protein levels in hippocampus of rats in FS group were significantly higher than those in NC group and HC group(P<0.01,P<0.05).IL-1ra mRNA and protein levels in hippocampus of rats in FS group were significantly higher than those in NC group and HC group(P<0.01,P<0.05),too.IL-1ra/IL-1β protein ratio showed no significant difference among 3 groups.Conclusion Frequent FS can cause the increase of IL-1β and IL-lra mRNA and protein levels in hippocampus,suggesting that IL-1β and IL-1ra may be involved in the pathogenesis of hippocampal neuron damage in FS rat.
