Project description:Analysis of biopsy hippocampal tissue of patients with pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) undergoing neurosurgical removal of the epileptogenic focus for seizure control. Chronic TLE goes along with focal hyperexcitability. Results provide insight into molecular mechanisms that may play a role in seizure propensity 150 human hippocampus samples

Project description:Label-free Proteomic profile of the dentate gyrus (dorsal and ventral) and CA3 (dorsal and ventral) microdissected from the hippocampus of the pilocarpine model of Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.
Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to participate in the pathogenesis of several neurological diseases including epilepsy. To date, the expression and functions of miRNAs in chronic temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), the most common type of refractory epilepsy in adults, have not been well characterized. Here, we adopted high-throughput sequencing to investigate miRNA expression profile in a chronic TLE model induced by amygdala stimulation
Project description:Epilepsy is a global neurological condition affecting over 70 million people. Therin, temporal lobe epilepsy stands to be the most common type of refractory epilepsy critically featured by hippocampal sclerosis. In this study, single-nucleus RNA-sequencing was performed on the nineteen hippocampus samples of patients with hippocampal sclerosis, presenting the first single-nucleus resolution cellular and molecular landscape of human hippocampal sclerosis.
Project description:To scrutinize the proteomic changes that occur in human temporal lobe epilepsy, we compare peptides present in tissue from sclerotic and non-sclerotic temporal lobe epilepsy resected hippocampi and from non-epilepsy autopsy control tissue
Project description:Genome wide gene expression was compared between nonHS, HS temporal lobe epilepsy patients (TLE) and autopsy control hippocampi in a 3-way analysis. In many TLE patients the hippocampus is subject to massive neuronal damage, gliosis and hippocampal sclerosis (HS), while in others there is no apparent hippocampal damage (nonHS). This three way analysis enabled us to differentiate between pathology and epilepsy related processes.
