Talin 2 concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid in patients with epilepsy.
Clinical Biochemistry(2010)
摘要
Talin 2 plays an important role in cell adhesion and recycling of synaptic vesicles. To explore the possible role of talin 2 in epilepsy, we designed current study to quantitatively evaluate the changes in talin 2 levels in different epilepsy patients.We measured talin 2 levels in CSF and the serum of postencephalitic epilepsy (PEE) patients (subdivided into drug-refractory PEE-RPEE, and drug-effective PEE-EPEE groups) and acute encephalitis patients (subdivided into acute encephalitis with secondary seizures-AESS, and acute encephalitis without seizures-AE) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.We found that, in RPEE patients, interictal CSF-talin 2 concentrations significantly increased, whereas serum-talin 2 significantly decreased when compared with the AE, AESS, and EPEE groups.This result suggested that the differential concentration of CSF and serum-talin 2 in the RPEE group is an intractability-related phenomenon that might be involved in the development of RPEE.
