Abstract
The present study analysed the effects of audiogenic kindling on the functional state of the vasopressinergic system of Krushinsky-Molodkina (KM) rats. KM rats represent a genetic model of audiogenic reflex epilepsy. Multiple audiogenic seizures in KM rats lead to the involvement of the limbic structures and neocortex in the epileptic network. The phenomenon of epileptic activity that overspreads from the brain stem to the forebrain is called audiogenic kindling and represents a model of limbic epilepsy. In the present study, audiogenic kindling was induced by 25 repetitive audiogenic seizures (AGS) with 1 AGS per day. A proportion of KM rats did not express AGS to sound stimuli, and these rats were characterised as the AGS-resistant group. The data demonstrated that audiogenic kindling did not change activity of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 or cAMP response element-binding protein, although it led to an increase in vasopressin (VP) expression in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and in the magnocellular division of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Additionally, we observed a decrease in GABAergic innervation of the hypothalamic neuroendocrine neurones after audiogenic kindling, whereas glutamatergic innervation of the SON and PVN was not altered. By contrast, analysis of AGS-resistant KM rats did not reveal any changes in the activity of the VP-ergic system, confirming that the activation of VP expression was caused by repetitive AGS expression, rather than by repetitive acoustic stress. Thus, we suggest that overspread of epileptiform activity in the brain is the main factor that affects VP expression in the hypothalamic magnocellular neurones.
