摘要
Epileptic seizure-induced brain injuries include activation of neuroimmune response with activation of microglia, astrocytes cells releasing neurotoxic inflammatory mediators underlies the pathophysiology of epilepsy. A wide spectrum of neuroinflammatory pathways is involved in neurodegeneration along with elevated levels of inflammatory mediators indicating the neuroinflammation in the epileptic brain. Therefore, the neuroimmune response is commonly observed in the epileptic brain, indicating elevated cytokine levels, providing an understanding of the neuroinflammatory mechanism contributing to seizures recurrence. Clinical and experimental-based evidence suggested the elevated levels of cytokines responsible for neuronal excitation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunctioning causing the drug resistance in epilepsy. Therefore, the understanding of the pathogenesis of neuroinflammation in epilepsy, including migration of microglial cells releasing the inflammatory cytokines indicating the correlation of elevated levels of inflammatory mediators (interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) triggering the generation or recurrence of seizures. The current review summarized the knowledge regarding elevated inflammatory mediators as immunomodulatory response correlating multiple neuroinflammatory NF-kB, RIPK, MAPK, ERK, JNK, JAK-STAT signaling cascades in epileptogenesis. Further selective targeting of inflammatory mediators provides beneficial therapeutic strategies for epilepsy.
