Using a pilocarpine-induced mouse model of temporal lobe epilepsy and chemogenetic silencing of abGCs via Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (DREADDs), we previously demonstrated that abGC inhibition reduces both ectopic migration and seizure susceptibility. To identify underlying molecular regulators, we performed RNA sequencing of FACS-isolated abGCs and identified Rrm2 and Timp3 as top candidate genes modulated by seizure activity and neuronal silencing. To assess their functional roles, we pharmacologically inhibited Rrm2 with Triapine (3-AP) and Timp3 with the LXR agonist T0901317 (T09). Inhibition of Rrm2 significantly reduced seizure frequency, decreased hilar abGC migration, and altered neuronal differentiation. While T09 treatment did not significantly alter Timp3 transcript levels, it increased the number of DCX+ neurons in the hilus, suggesting an effect on neuronal migration independent of robust knockdown. These findings highlight distinct roles of Rrm2 and Timp3 in hippocampal plasticity following seizures. Together, these data identify new molecular targets for modulating aberrant neurogenesis in epilepsy.2026/07/16GSE299376GSM9038229GSM9038226GSM9038225GSM9038228GSM9038227GSM9038233GSM9038222GSM9038221GSM9038232GSM9038224GSM9038223GSM9038220GSM9038231GSM903823017021299376Mus musculus
