ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate and evaluate the changes of PYK2 expression in hippocampal neurons and microglial cells in Kainate acid-induced status epilepticus. Methods Kainate acid-induced status epilepticus was established in rats, and by using immunostaining, changes of PYK2 expression in hippocampal neurons and microglial cells was investigated. Results Expression of PYK2 in hippocampal pyramidal neurons was markedly decreased after kainate acid-induced status epilepticus. However, 24h after the epileptic onset, a pronounced up-regulation of PYK2 and phosphor-PYK2 immunoreactivities were evident in amoeboid microglial cells. The upregulation of PYK2 and phosphor-PYK2 was in accordance with the morphological changes of the activated microglial cells. Conclusion PYK2 was activated in microglial cells after seizure. Furthermore, the activation of PYK2 in microglial cells after seizure might be related to the morphological and behavioral changes of microglial cells after activation.
