KCC2 antagonism increases neuronal network excitability but disrupts ictogenesis in vitro.

Abstract:

:The potassium-chloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2) plays a role in epileptiform synchronization, but it remains unclear how it influences such a process. Here, we used tetrode recordings in the in vitro rat entorhinal cortex (EC) to analyze the effects of the KCC2 antagonist VU0463271 on 4-aminopyridine (4AP)-induced ictal and interictal activity. During 4AP application, ictal events were associated with significant increases in interneurons and principal cells activities. VU0463271 application transformed ictal discharges to shorter ictal-like events that were not accompanied by significant increases in interneuron or principal cell firing. Interictal events persisted during VU0463271 application at an accelerated frequency of occurrence with significant increases in interneuron and principal cell activity. Further analysis revealed that interneuron and principal cell firing rate during 4AP-induced interictal events were increased after VU0463271 application without changes in synchronicity. Overall, our results demonstrate that in the EC, KCC2 antagonism enhances both interneuron and principal cell excitability, while paradoxically decreasing the ability of neuronal networks to generate structured ictal events.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We are the first to use tetrode recordings in the entorhinal cortex to demonstrate that antagonizing potassium-chloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2) function abolishes ictal discharges and the associated, dynamic changes in single-unit firing in the in vitro 4-aminopyrine model of epileptiform synchronization. Interictal discharges were, however, shorter and more frequent during KCC2 antagonism, while the associated single-unit activity increased, suggesting augmented neuronal excitability. Our findings highlight the complex role of KCC2 in disease pathology.
