Unifying mechanism behind the onset of acquired epilepsy

Résumé

Acquired epilepsy (AE) can result from a number of brain insults and neurological diseases with wide etiological diversity sharing one common outcome of brain epileptiform activity. This implies that despite their disparity, all these initiating pathologies affect the same fundamental brain functions underlying network excitability. Identifying such mechanisms and their availability as therapeutic targets would help develop an effective strategy for epileptogenesis prevention. In this opinion article, we propose that the vicious cycle of NADPH oxidase (NOX)-mediated oxidative stress and glucose hypometabolism is the underlying cause of AE, as available data reveal a critical role for both pathologies in epileptogenesis and the process of seizure initiation. Altogether, here we present a novel view on the mechanisms behind the onset of AE and identify therapeutic targets for potential clinical applications.
