Article Synopsis
- Neuroinflammation linked to seizures can influence the development of epilepsy, with CCR2 and CCL2 playing key roles in monocyte infiltration during brain inflammation caused by seizures.
- In a study, status epilepticus (SE) was induced in rats using pilocarpine, followed by analysis of CCR2 and CCL2 levels in the hippocampus through immunohistochemistry and molecular assays.
- Results showed increased CCR2 levels and changes in expression among neurons and astrocytes in the hippocampus after SE, suggesting that these changes may contribute to harmful neuroplasticity and inflammation following seizures.
