Abstract:
PURPOSE:Doublecortin (DCX) is a microtubule-associated protein with regulatory roles in radial and tangential migration of neurons during cortical development. In normal adult cortex there is restricted expression, and DCX is widely used as a marker of neurogenesis. Imperfect corticogenesis is thought to underpin many focal cortical pathologies in epilepsy surgical series, including focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). The aim was to study DCX expression patterns in such lesions compared to normal developing and mature cortex. METHOD:Cases of FCD types Ia (13) and IIb (4), pediatric hippocampal sclerosis (HS) (5), temporal lobe sclerosis (5), glioneuronal tumors (5), gray matter heterotopia (3), and control tissues (16) from a wide age range [20 gestational weeks (GW) to 85 years] were studied using immunohistochemistry to DCX. RESULTS:In controls and all epilepsy cases, perinuclear labeling of small round cells (SRCs) and satellite perineuronal cells was observed in both postmortem and surgical tissues. In FCD Ia up to the age of 4 years, prominent DCX-positive (DCX(+)), immature cells were present along the junction of layers I and II, with processes extending into the molecular layer. These cell types were not a significant feature in other pathologies, which showed multipolar DCX(+) cells or labeling of dysmorphic cells throughout the cortex. DISCUSSION:Persistent cellular DCX expression is confirmed in normal adult cortex. Characteristic expression patterns in layer II of FCD Ia could indicate delayed or abnormal cortical maturation rather than ongoing cytogenesis. This could be indicative of enhanced local cortical plasticity as well as a potential diagnostic feature of this type of pathology.

EPILEPSIA文献大全abstract:BACKGROUND:Multidrug transporters are postulated to contribute to antiepileptic drug (AED) resistance. The transporter best studied is P-glycoprotein, an ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily member.
