Abstract

Drug-resistance epilepsy (DRE) is a key problem in neurology. It is possible that damage to the blood–brain barrier (BBB) may affect resistance in DRE. The aim of this work was to assess the damage and dysfunction in the BBB in the area of epileptic foci in patients with DRE under conditions of neuroinflammation. The changes to the BBB in temporal lobe epilepsy (by immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscopy), levels of neuroinflammatory proteins, and cytokine levels in the blood (by multiplex analysis) were studied. Increased levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and growth-regulated protein (GRO), and decreased levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in plasma, combined with overexpression of the VEGF-A receptor by endotheliocytes were detected. Malformation-like growths of the basement membrane of the capillaries of the brain complicate the delivery of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Dysplasia of the basement membrane is the result of inadequate reparative processes in chronic inflammation. In conclusion, it should be noted that damage to the microcirculatory network of the brain should be considered one of the leading factors contributing to DRE.
