1 How does epilepsy get complicated? altered molecules, cells and circuits Tallie Z. Baram, MD, PhD Pediatrics, Anatomy/Neurobiology, Neurology Danette Shepard Professor of Neurological Sciences Scientific Director, UC Irvine Epilepsy Program EpiCenter UCI Epilepsy research center
2 What is complicated epilepsy? Seizures become unresponsive to medications Seizures evolve, get worse. Epilepsy interferes with normal life: Depression Cognitive difficulties Financial, social and other issues.
3 What is complicated epilepsy? Seizures become unresponsive to medications Seizures evolve, get worse. Epilepsy interferes with normal life: Depression Cognitive difficulties Financial, social and other issues
4 ~30% of people with epilepsy become resistant to medications Early Identification of Refractory Epilepsy* Patrick Kwan, M.D., and Martin J. Brodie,, M.D. NEJM, 342: , 319, 2000 The prevalence of persistent seizures was higher in patients with: 1. Symptomatic epilepsy rather than idiopathic epilepsy (P=0.004) 2. More than 20 seizures before starting treatment (P<0.001) *Epilepsy that does not respond to treatment
5 Early seizure frequency and aetiology predict long- term medical outcome in childhood-onset onset epilepsy Matti Sillanpaa,, Dieter Schmidt, Brain, 2009 >1 seizure a week Before treatment >1 seizure a week during treatment
6 Role of the basis (etiology) of the Epilepsy in determining if it gets complicated Symptomatic epilepsy All patients with: (a) idiopathic or cryptogenic epilepsy, and (b) having less than weekly pretreatment seizures entered 1YR
7 What is complicated epilepsy? Seizures become unresponsive to medications How does this happen? Seizures evolve, get worse. Epilepsy interferes with normal life: Depression Cognitive difficulties Financial, social and other issues,
8 In the epileptic brain, shuttles shuttles that throw anticonvulsants out of brain cells are induced Blood vessel Remy & Beck, 2006
9 In the epileptic brain, shuttles shuttles that throw anticonvulsants out of the brain cells are induced. Multiple drug resistance Glycoproteins Transporters Extracellular space Blood vessel From Loscher & Potschka,, 2005
10 Ion channels that govern excitability of brain cells become unresponsive to anticonvulsant medicines Non epileptic brain AED
11 Brain cells in epilepsy may make too much, too little or the wrong kind of ion channel This generates hyper-excitable excitable brain cells
12 What is complicated epilepsy? Seizures become unresponsive to medications Seizures evolve, get worse. HOW? Epilepsy interferes with normal life: Depression Cognitive difficulties Financial, social and other issues
13 Do the seizures themselves make future ones worse? This is known as kindling, and is found in animals. No evidence for kindling in humans. However, there are many ways in which seizures can change the brain, and make it more vulnerable to having worse future seizures
14 Long Seizures in adult brain can result in cell death, and the remaining cells can create abnormal circuits Genetics seizures Age Acute damage Latent period Epilepsy, more seizures More injury reorganization
15 Long seizures may cause inflammation in the brain which may injure brain cells, or make them hyper-excitable
16 The inflammatory mediator interleukin 1β1 is increased by Long Febrile Seizures IL-1β Actin 400 IL-1β levels Control FS
17 Inflammation in resected human epileptic hippocampus Ravizza et al., 2008
18 Inflammation may contribute to cell loss and other changes in brain activity Many cells that die during epilepsy are inhibitory Cell loss promotes the formation of abnormal excitatory connections in the brain: sprouting Inflammatory molecules can influence neurons, making them hyper-excitable. excitable.
19 Many changes in the brain which help make epilepsy complicated are still being discovered (including here, at UCI ) Inflammation; gliosis,, cell loss, hyper-excitability excitability Cell loss: loss of inhibition, sprouting Even cells that survive are changed: receptors, ion channels Water content in the brain, Breakage of blood-brain brain barrier Altered ion and ph balance.etc, etc.
20 What is complicated epilepsy? Seizures become unresponsive to medications Seizures evolve, get worse. Epilepsy interferes with normal life: Depression Cognitive difficulties Financial, social and other issues.
21 What is complicated epilepsy? Seizures become unresponsive to medications Seizures evolve, get worse. Epilepsy interferes with normal life: Depression Cognitive difficulties Financial, social and other issues. The same brain regions that are involved in many epilepsies are responsible for learning and memory, emotion, decision making
22 Why is it important to find out how epilepsy becomes complicated? Because we hope to prevent the process in the future: Anti-inflammatory inflammatory drugs? Neuroprotective? Water balance? Other?
