Epileptic behavioral phenotypic analysis of PKHD1L1 Point mutant rats constructed in example 1
First, 3 male PKHD1L1 point mutation heterozygotes (PKHD 1L 1) +/- ) Spontaneous seizures were observed in rats with recordings for 5 consecutive days, however, no onset of spontaneous seizures was observed.
Subsequently, PKHD1L1 was studied using the PTZ epilepsy model +/ Rat seizure susceptibility study: 10 male PKHD1L1 were taken each +/- The rats were matched to the weight of the week-old wild-type (WT) rats and seizure induction was performed with PTZ (40 mg/kg) in a lower than conventional modeling dose, as a result, it was found that only 2 out of 10 wild-type rats (20%) were found, and 10 PKHD1L1 was found +/- In rats, 7 (70%) were induced with 4-5 grade seizures, which reached a maximum epileptic grade that was also significantly higher than in the WT group (see fig. 13). Further, additional injection of PTZ (5 mg/kg, every 15 min interval) in rats not reaching grade 4-5 inhibited the onset of epileptic seizure, and it was found that the average dose of PTZ required for WT was also significantly higher than PKHD1L1 +/- The dosage required for the rats.

Example 3
Results of transgenic animal brain slice electrophysiological experiments
1. Transgenic animal group (PKHD 1L 1) +/- Rat) neuronal excitability is increased, H89 can decrease the frequency of pyramidal neurons sEPSC in the cerebral cortex
sEPSC and sIPSC of the pyramidal neurons of the computer cortex are recorded by adopting a patch clamp technology, and the change of excitatory synaptic transmission and inhibitory synaptic transmission of each group of pyramidal neurons is observed to reflect the change of excitability of the neurons. The study found that the amplitude and frequency of the epileptic group sEPSC were higher than those of the control group, and the amplitude and frequency were reduced after H89 treatment. The experimental results show that H89 can be used to reduce the amplitude and frequency of cortical peescs, reducing their excitability, and thus acting therapeutically in epileptic group rats (fig. 14).
H89 does not affect pyramidal neurons Na in the cerebral cortex + And K + The excitability of the current neurons is such that,
neuronal excitability and Na + And K + The current was related, therefore the present invention records Na in each group of rat cortical pyramidal neurons + And K + A current. The results are shown in FIG. 15, with each group of rat pyramidal neurons Na + And K + No difference in current (3 mice per group, 6 cells in control group, 6 in epileptic group, 6 cells in epileptic + H89 group), P<0.05。
H89 can reduce the excitability of cortical pyramidal neurons in epileptic rats
To further confirm the excitability of pyramidal neurons in the cortex, the present invention also recorded the action potential of pyramidal neurons. Action potentials can intuitively reflect the excitability of neurons. Cone neuron action potential recordings showed a decrease in action potential threshold (P < 0.05) for epileptic group rats and an increase in threshold (P < 0.05) after H89 treatment. Positive potential was decreased after epileptic group compared to control group and neuronal potential was increased after H89 treatment (P > 0.05). The peak values and half-way durations of the action potentials of the two groups of rats are not different. The decrease in postpyramidal potential of epileptic group rat neurons indicates reduced function of sodium ion pump. Indicating that a decrease in the neuronal action potential threshold of epileptic rats indicates a decrease in pyramidal neuronal excitability, H89 reversed this trend and ameliorated the epileptic symptoms in rats (fig. 16).
Although the foregoing embodiments have been described in some, but not all, embodiments of the invention, it should be understood that other embodiments may be devised in accordance with the present embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
