La interleucina-1Beta aumenta la muerte neuronal en el giro dentado del hipocampo asociada al estado epiléptico en la rata en desarrollo / Interleukin-1Beta increases neuronal death in the hippocampal dentate gyrus associated with status epilepticus in the developing rat

Introducción: La interleucina 1β (IL-1Beta) aumenta la muerte neuronal necrótica debido al estado epiléptico (EE) en el área CA1 del hipocampo de ratas en desarrollo; sin embargo, se desconoce si ejerce un efecto similar en el giro dentado (GD) hipocampal. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar el efecto de IL-1Beta en la muerte neuronal inducida por el EE en el GD de ratas Wistar de 14 días de edad. Métodos: El EE se indujo con el modelo de litio-pilocarpina. Seis horas después del inicio del EE, la IL-1Beta se inyectó intracerebroventricularmente (0, 0,3, 3, 30 o 300 ng/μl); grupos adicionales se inyectaron con el antagonista natural del receptor tipoi (IL-1RI) de IL-1Beta (IL-1Ra, 30 ng/μl) en ausencia o presencia de IL-1Beta (3 ng/μl). La muerte neuronal se evaluó en la capa granular del GD 24 h después del EE mediante la tinción de hematoxilina-eosina. Las células muertas se caracterizaron por presentar citosol eosinofílico y núcleos condensados y fragmentados. Resultados: Se observó un incremento en el número de células eosinofílicas en el GD ipsilateral a la inyección de 3 y 300 ng/μl de IL-1Beta en comparación con el grupo vehículo; en el GD contralateral se observó un efecto similar únicamente con 3 ng/μl de IL-1Beta. La coadministración de IL-1Beta con el IL-1Ra no evitó el aumento en el número de células eosinofílicas. Conclusión: La IL-1Beta aumenta la muerte neuronal con morfología apoptótica provocada por el EE en el GD del hipocampo, mecanismo independiente de la activación del receptor IL-1RI (AU)

Background: Interleukin-1Beta (IL-1Beta) increases necrotic neuronal cell death in the CA1 area after induced status epilepticus (SE) in developing rats. However, it remains uncertain whether IL-1Beta has a similar effect on the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). In this study, we analysed the effects of IL-1Beta on 14-day-old Wistar rats experiencing DG neuronal death induced by SE. Methods: SE was induced with lithium-pilocarpine. Six hours after SE onset, a group of pups was injected with IL-1β (at 0, 0.3, 3, 30, or 300 ng/μL) in the right ventricle; another group was injected with IL-1Beta receptor (IL-1R1) antagonist (IL-1Ra, at 30 ng/μL) of IL-1RI antagonist (IL-1Ra) alone, and additional group with 30 ng/μL of IL-1Ra plus 3 ng/μL of IL-1Beta. Twenty-four hours after SE onset, neuronal cell death in the dentate gyrus of the dorsal hippocampus was assessed using haematoxylin-eosin staining. Dead cells showed eosinophilic cytoplasm and condensed and fragmented nuclei. Results: We observed an increased number of eosinophilic cells in the hippocampal DG ipsilateral to the site of injection of 3ng/μL and 300 ng/μL of IL-1Beta in comparison with the vehicle group. A similar effect was observed in the hippocampal DG contralateral to the site of injection of 3 ng/μL of IL-1Beta. Administration of both of IL-1Beta and IL-1Ra failed to prevent an increase in the number of eosinophilic cells. Conclusion: Our data suggest that IL-1Betaincreases apoptotic neuronal cell death caused by SE in the hippocampal GD, which is a mechanism independent of IL-1RI activation (AU)

Interleukin-1ß increases neuronal death in the hippocampal dentate gyrus associated with status epilepticus in the developing rat. / La interleucina-1ß aumenta la muerte neuronal en el giro dentado del hipocampo asociada al estado epiléptico en la rata en desarrollo.

BACKGROUND: Interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) increases necrotic neuronal cell death in the CA1 area after induced status epilepticus (SE) in developing rats. However, it remains uncertain whether IL-1ß has a similar effect on the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). In this study, we analysed the effects of IL-1ß on 14-day-old Wistar rats experiencing DG neuronal death induced by SE. METHODS: SE was induced with lithium-pilocarpine. Six hours after SE onset, a group of pups was injected with IL-1ß (at 0, 0.3, 3, 30, or 300ng/µL) in the right ventricle; another group was injected with IL-1ß receptor (IL-1R1) antagonist (IL-1Ra, at 30ng/µL) of IL-1RI antagonist (IL-1Ra) alone, and additional group with 30ng/µL of IL-1Ra plus 3ng/µL of IL-1ß. Twenty-four hours after SE onset, neuronal cell death in the dentate gyrus of the dorsal hippocampus was assessed using haematoxylin-eosin staining. Dead cells showed eosinophilic cytoplasm and condensed and fragmented nuclei. RESULTS: We observed an increased number of eosinophilic cells in the hippocampal DG ipsilateral to the site of injection of 3ng/µL and 300ng/µL of IL-1ß in comparison with the vehicle group. A similar effect was observed in the hippocampal DG contralateral to the site of injection of 3ng/µL of IL-1ß. Administration of both of IL-1ß and IL-1Ra failed to prevent an increase in the number of eosinophilic cells. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that IL-1ß increases apoptotic neuronal cell death caused by SE in the hippocampal GD, which is a mechanism independent of IL-1RI activation.
