T1 |
0-119 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Chemokine CCL2 and its receptor CCR2 are increased in the hippocampus following pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus. |
T2 |
120-131 |
Sentence |
denotes |
BACKGROUND: |
T3 |
132-209 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Neuroinflammation occurs after seizures and is implicated in epileptogenesis. |
T4 |
210-375 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CCR2 is a chemokine receptor for CCL2 and their interaction mediates monocyte infiltration in the neuroinflammatory cascade triggered in different brain pathologies. |
T5 |
376-495 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In this work CCR2 and CCL2 expression were examined following status epilepticus (SE) induced by pilocarpine injection. |
T6 |
496-545 |
Sentence |
denotes |
METHODS: SE was induced by pilocarpine injection. |
T7 |
546-608 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Control rats were injected with saline instead of pilocarpine. |
T8 |
609-717 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Five days after SE, CCR2 staining in neurons and glial cells was examined using imunohistochemical analyses. |
T9 |
718-810 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The number of CCR2 positive cells was determined using stereology probes in the hippocampus. |
T10 |
811-878 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CCL2 expression in the hippocampus was examined by molecular assay. |
T11 |
879-887 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
T12 |
888-944 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Increased CCR2 was observed in the hippocampus after SE. |
T13 |
945-1017 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Seizures also resulted in alterations to the cell types expressing CCR2. |
T14 |
1018-1093 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Increased numbers of neurons that expressed CCR2 was observed following SE. |
T15 |
1094-1174 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Microglial cells were more closely apposed to the CCR2-labeled cells in SE rats. |
T16 |
1175-1317 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition, rats that experienced SE exhibited CCR2-labeling in populations of hypertrophied astrocytes, especially in CA1 and dentate gyrus. |
T17 |
1318-1376 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These CCR2+ astroctytes were not observed in control rats. |
T18 |
1377-1468 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Examination of CCL2 expression showed that it was elevated in the hippocampus following SE. |
T19 |
1469-1480 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSION: |
T20 |
1481-1579 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The data show that CCR2 and CCL2 are up-regulated in the hippocampus after pilocarpine-induced SE. |
T21 |
1580-1666 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Seizures also result in changes to CCR2 receptor expression in neurons and astrocytes. |
T22 |
1667-1790 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These changes might be involved in detrimental neuroplasticity and neuroinflammatory changes that occur following seizures. |
