Reprogramming the Circadian Dynamics of Epileptic Genes in Mouse Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a common and severe epilepsy displaying rhythmicity in humans and animals. However, how the circadian clock contributes to TLE remains elusive. A recent circadian analysis of the ventral hippocampal transcriptome of pilocarpine-induced TLE mice revealed as many as 1650 rhythmically expressed transcripts. Here, a comparison of the mouse ventral hippocampal transcriptome with the human epilepsy-related gene set identified 315 possible mouse epilepsy-related genes. Rhythmicity analysis classified them into arrhythmicity, loss-of-rhythmicity, gain-of-rhythmicity, and rhythmicity-maintaining groups. KEGG and GO analyses of these mouse epilepsy genes suggest their involvement in circadian entrainment. In TLE mice, Htr1d, Drd2, and Chrna3 lose rhythmicity, but P2rx7 gains rhythmicity; the up-regulation of Htr1d and Drd2 and down-regulation of Chrna3 inhibit adenylate cyclase (AC), and up-regulation of Htr1d, Drd2, and P2rx7 activates protein kinase C (PKC). Together, these results suggest that epilepsy can disrupt the circadian dynamics of the epileptic genes, shed light on possible TLE pathogenesis, and provide potential targets for TLE diagnosis and chronotherapy.
