Résumé

Epilepsy frequently develops as a result of brain insult; however, there are no tools allowing to predict which patients suffering from trauma will eventually develop epilepsy. microRNAs are interesting candidates for biomarkers, as several of them have been described to change their levels in the brains, and in the plasma of epileptic subjects. This study was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of plasma miRNAs as epileptogenesis/epilepsy biomarkers. In our studies, we used a rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy. An epileptogenic insult was status epilepticus evoked by stimulation of the left lateral nucleus of the amygdala. Next, animals were continuously video and EEG monitored for 3 months. Blood was collected at 14, 30, 60, and 90 days after stimulation. Blood plasma was separated and miRNA levels were analyzed. We compared miRNA levels between sham-operated and stimulated animals, and between animals with high and low numbers of seizures. We propose three miRNAs that could be biomarkers of epilepsy: miR-671, miR-9a-3p and miR-7a-5p. According to us, miR-206-5p is a potential biomarker of epileptogenesis, and miR-221-3p is a potential biomarker of epilepsy severity. We think that these five miRNAs can be considered in the future as potential treatment targets.
