AB  - Introduction Disruption of copper homeostasis and dysfunction of mitochondria have been documented in sclerotic hippocampi (HS) of patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE). However, a potential link between these pathological changes has not been tackled so far. Herein, we analyzed regional distribution of neuron somata density, copper concentration, and the activity of cytochrome c oxidase (CCO), a component of mitochondrial electron transport chain and copper-containing metalloprotein, in HS. Methods Histochemical staining and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry were carried out to construct comparable maps of these parameters in coronal sections of hippocampi of 3 mTLE-HS patients and 3 control subjects. Results Copper levels were decreased in all regions of HS with pyramidal neuron somata. CCO activity was significantly reduced in stratum pyramidale (PY) 1 and cornu Ammonis field 4, the two regions with significant reduction in neuron somata density. CCO activity was also lower in layers that contain apical dendrites of pyramidal neurons and mossy fibers. It appears that copper deficiency in PY2 and PY3 comes before CCO activity reduction and neuronal loss. A strong positive correlation was found between neuron density, Cu concentration, and CCO activity. Conclusions Presented results imply that pathological alterations in Cu and energy metabolism could be involved in the development of HS. A limitation of this study was the relatively small number of patients. However, presented results underline copper deficiency as a component of pathological mechanisms of epilepsy and warrant further investigation of cuproproteins and members of copper transport machinery.

AB  - More and more studies are identifying the regulation of metal homeostasis as one of the key points of central nervous system’s well-being. Epilepsy is a particularly interesting neurological condition when viewed in terms of the correlation between the amount of metals and the development of a seizure. This lecture will present contribution of our group to the field of metal biology in epilepsy by mapping brain metals in sclerotic hippocampus resected from drug resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) patients as surgical therapeutic approach. Direct insight into this epileptogenic area, by two powerful techniques, optical emission and mass spectrometry, has led us to investigation of copper turnover. Namely, among the examined metals, we found the deficiency of copper in sclerotic hippocampus on two levels: (i) in whole structure (ii) and locally in the areas of neuronal loss, with significant correlation between copper concentration and neuron density. Furthermore, analysis of copper metalloproteins showed: (i) significant increase or decrease in levels of protein that is participating in copper transport into the cell (CTR1) depending on the degree of hippocampal neuronal loss; (ii) and lower activity of an enzyme in which copper is part of the active site, cytochrome c oxidase, in sclerotic hippocampi of patients compared to control tissue. In our further investigations it remained to be determined whether changes in copper concentrations and copper metalloproteins are causal to pathology of mTLE or they represent epiphenomenon.

AB  - ObjectiveTo examine antioxidative system in hippocampi of patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy associated with hippocampal sclerosis (mTLE-HS). MethodsActivity and levels of antioxidative enzymescatalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), and copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD)were assessed in hippocampi of nine pharmacoresistant mTLE-HS patients (mean age 37.7[standard deviation] 6.6years) who underwent amygdalohippocampectomy, and in 10 hippocampi obtained via autopsy from five neurologically intact controls (mean age 34.49.0years). Subfield and cellular (neuron/astrocyte) distribution of CAT, GPx, and MnSOD was analyzed in detail using immunohistochemical staining. ResultsSclerotic hippocampi showed drastically increased activity of hydrogen peroxide-removing enzymes, CAT (p lt 0.001), GPx (p lt 0.001), and GR (p lt 0.001), and significantly higher protein levels of CAT (p=0.006), GPx (p=0.040), GR (p=0.024), and MnSOD (p=0.004), compared to controls. CAT immunofluorescence was located mainly in neurons in both controls and HS. Control hippocampi showed GPx staining in blood vessels and CA neurons. In HS, GPx-rich loci, representing bundles of astrocytes, emerged in different hippocampal regions, whereas the number of GPx-positive vessels was drastically decreased. Neurons with abnormal morphology and strong MnSOD immunofluorescence were present in all neuronal layers in HS. Small autofluorescent deposits, most likely lipofuscin, were observed, along with astrogliosis, in CA1 in HS. SignificanceAntioxidative system is upregulated in HS. This documents, for the first time, that epileptogenic hippocampi are exposed to oxidative stress. Our findings provide a basis for understanding the potential involvement of redox alterations in the pathology of epilepsy, and may open new pharmacologic perspectives for mTLE-HS treatment.

AB  - An altered metal and electrolyte profile has been implicated in the pathologic mechanisms of chronic epilepsy; however, no study has comprehensively measured hippocampal concentrations of these elements in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis (mTLE-HS). We therefore analyzed hippocampi of 24 patients with drug-resistant mTLE-HS (mean age 35.69.4years) who underwent anterior temporal lobe resection and amygdalohippocampectomy and 17 hippocampi obtained by autopsy from 13 controls (mean age 40.5 +/- 12.9years), using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Epileptic hippocampi showed significantly lower concentrations (g/g of tissue) of copper (HS: 2.34 +/- 0.12; control [C]: 3.57 +/- 0.33; p lt 0.001), manganese (HS: 0.205 +/- 0.030; C: 0.409 +/- 0.064; p=0.004), and potassium (HS: 2,001 +/- 59; C: 2,322 +/- 61; p lt 0.001), and increased sodium levels (HS: 1,131 +/- 22; C: 1,040 +/- 25; p=0.010). Zinc, iron, calcium, and magnesium levels did not differ in HS and controls. In summary, copper and manganese levels are deficient, whereas iron level is unchanged in hippocampi from patients with mTLE-HS. Our results provide a basis for understanding the potential involvement of different metals and electrolytes in the pathology of HS.
