Abstract [en]

PURPOSE: Activation of the neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor by neuropeptide substance P (SP) induces and maintains epileptic activity in various experimental models of epilepsy. The primary objective of this study was to investigate whether neurobiological changes linked to NK1-SP receptor system are associated with hyperexcitability in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). A secondary objective was to investigate the relationship between seizure frequency and NK1 receptor availability.

METHODS: A positron emission tomography study was conducted with the selective NK1 receptor antagonist [(11)C]GR205171 in nine patients with TLE and 18 healthy control participants. Parametric PET images were generated using the Patlak graphical method, with cerebellum as reference region. Data analyses including group comparisons were performed using statistical parametric mapping.

RESULTS: Patients with TLE showed increased NK1 receptor availability in both hemispheres with the most pronounced increase in anterior cingulate gyrus ipsilateral to seizure onset. A positive correlation between NK1 receptor availability and seizure frequency was observed in the medial temporal lobe and in the lentiform nucleus ipsilateral to the seizure onset.

CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that there is an intrinsic network using the NK1-SP receptor system for synaptic transmission and epileptiform activity in TLE.

Abstract [en]

Epilepsy is a common neurological disease affecting 6 million people in Europe. Early prevention and accurate diagnosis and treatment are of importance to obtain seizure freedom. In this thesis new applications of carbon-11-labelled tracers in PET and autoradiographic studies were explored in focal epilepsy.

Patients with low-grade gliomas often experience epileptic seizures. A retrospective PET-study assessing seizure activity, metabolic rate measured with 11C-methionine and other known prognostic factors was performed in patients with glioma. No correlation was found between seizure activity and uptake of methionine. The presence and termination of early seizures was a favourable prognostic factor.

Activation of the neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor by substance P (SP) induces epileptic activity. PET with the NK1 receptor antagonist GR205171 was performed in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and healthy controls. In TLE patients an increased NK1 receptor availability was found in both hemispheres, most pronounced in anterior cingulate gyrus ipsilateral to seizure onset. A positive correlation between NK1 receptors and seizure frequency was observed in ipsilateral medial structures consistent with an intrinsic network using the NK1-SP receptor system for transmission of seizure activity.

The uptake of 18F-fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) is related to cerebral blood flow (CBF). Previously, methods to estimate blood flow from dynamic PET data have been described. A retrospective study was conducted in 15 patients undergoing epilepsy surgery investigation, including PET with 11C-FDG and 11C-Flumazenil (FMZ). The dynamic FMZ dataset and pharmacokinetic modeling with a multilinear reference tissue model were used to determine images of relative CBF. Agreement between data of FDG and CBF was analyzed showing a close association between interictal brain metabolism and relative CBF.

Epilepsy often occurs after traumatic brain injuries. Changes in glia and inhibitory neuronal cells contribute to the chain of events leading to seizures. Autoradiography with 11C-PK11195, 11C-L-deprenyl and 11C-Flumazenil in an animal model of posttraumatic epilepsy studied the temporal and spatial distribution of microglia, astrocytes and GABAergic neurons. Results showed an instant increase in microglial activity that subsequently normalized, a late formation of astrogliosis and an instant and prolonged decease in GABA binding. The model can be used to visualize pathophysiological events during the epileptogenesis.
