TLDR
The large number of microRNAs with altered expression following status epilepticus suggests that microRNA regulation of translation has the potential to contribute to changes in protein expression during epileptogenesis.Abstract:
MicroRNAs regulate protein synthesis by binding non-translated regions of mRNAs and suppressing translation and/or increasing mRNA degradation. MicroRNAs play an important role in the nervous system including controlling synaptic plasticity. Their expression is altered in disease states including stroke, head injury and epilepsy. To better understand microRNA expression changes that might contribute to the development of epilepsy, microRNA arrays were performed on rat hippocampus 4 hours, 48 hours and 3 weeks following an episode of pilocarpine induced status epilepticus. Eighty microRNAs increased at one or more of the time points. No microRNAs decreased at 4 hours, and only a few decreased at 3 weeks, but 188 decreased 48 hours after status epilepticus. The large number of microRNAs with altered expression following status epilepticus suggests that microRNA regulation of translation has the potential to contribute to changes in protein expression during epileptogenesis. We carried out a second set of array’s comparing microRNA expression at 48 hours in synaptoneurosome and nuclear fractions of the hippocampus. In control rat hippocampi multiple microRNAs were enriched in the synaptoneurosomal fraction as compared to the nuclear fraction. In contrast, 48 hours after status epilepticus only one microRNA was enriched in the synaptoneurosome fraction. The loss of microRNAs enriched in the synaptoneurosomal fraction implies a dramatic change in translational regulation in synapses 48 hours after status epilepticus.read more

Expression of microRNAs and Other Small RNAs in Prefrontal Cortex in Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder and Depressed Subjects
TL;DR: There was a significant inverse correlation between the fold-change of a given miRNA seen in schizophrenia and its synaptic enrichment ratio observed in controls, suggesting some deficit in miRNA biogenesis, transport, processing or turnover in schizophrenia that is selective for the synaptic compartment.

TL;DR: Those miRNAs that are altered in plasma before the first spontaneous seizure, like miR-9a-3p, may be proposed as putative biomarkers of epileptogenesis.

TL;DR: A role for post-transcriptional regulation of the P2X7R is supported and therapeutic targeting of microRNA-22 may prevent inflammation and development of a secondary epileptogenic focus in the brain is suggested.

TL;DR: Preliminary characterization of one of these compounds indicates in vivo anticonvulsant activity at nontoxic doses, inhibition of the 2-oxoglutarate-dependent hydroxylase FTO, and expected increase in cellular N(6)-methyladenosine.

Modification of seizure activity by electrical stimulation. II. Motor seizure.
TL;DR: It was found that the development of motor seizures by stimulation of the amygdala resulted in an increased ability of the contralateral amygdala, and the septal area, but not of the hippocampus, to drive motor seizures when stimulated (“transfer”).

TL;DR: This work has shown that the regulation of miRNA metabolism and function by a range of mechanisms involving numerous protein–protein and protein–RNA interactions has an important role in the context-specific functions of miRNAs.

TL;DR: It is shown that a brain-specific microRNA, miR-134>, is localized to the synapto-dendritic compartment of rat hippocampal neurons and negatively regulates the size of dendritic spines—postsynaptic sites of excitatory synaptic transmission.

TL;DR: It was found that stimulation of more than one area increases the rate of seizure development, whereas disrupting inter-limbic connections retards seizure development.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that miR132 regulates neuronal morphogenesis by decreasing levels of the GTPase-activating protein, p250GAP, which reveals that a CREB-regulated miRNA regulates neuronal Morphogenesis by responding to extrinsic trophic cues.
