Research on the Correlation between Neuronal Damage and Drug Resistance Gene Product P-Gp Following Status Epilepsy
Objective: To study the association between neuronal injury following status epilepsy and expression of P-glycoprotein, discuss the association between intractable epilepsy and neuronal injury. Method: To establish a mice status epilepticus model by lithium-pilocarpine injected intraperitoneal, The mice were randomly divided into control group 6h, 12h, 1d, 3d, 5d and 7d after status epilepticus(SE) .To research the neuronal injury by image analysis method, expression of P-gp in blood was studied by flow cyometry .To analyze the association between neuronal injury and expression of P-gp by Pearson statistics. Result: The neuronal injury was observed after status epilepsy. Neuronal injury is most obvious 3-7 days after status epilepsy, expression of P-gp increased simultaneously. The severity of neuronal injury has a positive correlation to expression of P-gp. Conclusion: Association between intractable epilepsy and neuronal injury exists.
