Status epilepticus triggers early and late alterations in brain-derived neurotrophic factor and NMDA glutamate receptor Grin2b DNA methylation levels in the hippocampus

Highlights • Grin2b / Nr2b and Bdnf DNA methylation is altered in the epileptic hippocampus. • Grin2b / Nr2b and Bdnf gene and protein expression is correlated with DNA methylation. • SE triggered early and late increases in DNA methylating and demethylating enzymes. • DNMT inhibition altered SE-ind...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Grin2b / Nr2b and Bdnf DNA methylation is altered in the epileptic hippocampus. • Grin2b / Nr2b and Bdnf gene and protein expression is correlated with DNA methylation. • SE triggered early and late increases in DNA methylating and demethylating enzymes. • DNMT inhibition altered SE-induced hippocampal methylation and synaptic plasticity. • DNMT inhibition restored decreases in AP2alpha binding at the Nr2b gene promoter.
