title: Autoradiographic analysis of [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate binding in kindled rat hippocampus shows different changes in CA1 area and fascia dentata.
abstract: We studied the binding of [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate to the GABAA receptor-mediated chloride channel in the CA1 area and fascia dentata of control and Schaffer collateral kindled rats, by means of semi-quantitative autoradiography. The [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate binding was determined at three stages during kindling acquisition: (i) after six afterdischarges, (ii) after 14 afterdischarges and (iii) after the induction of fully kindled seizures. Furthermore, the binding was studied at the long-term stage, 28 days after the last generalized tonic-clonic seizure [Racine R. J. (1972) Electroenceph. clin. Neurophysiol. 32, 281-294]. The binding was investigated at three [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate concentrations, 4, 47.5 (KD value) and 180 nM (Bmax value). A significant decrease in [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate binding in the CA1 area (-6 to -20%) and hilar formation (-17 to -37%), in one or more of the three [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate concentrations tested at the six and 14 afterdischarges and fully kindled stages was observed, but no significant changes at the long-term kindling stage were found. In contrast, the granular and molecular layers of the fascia dentata presented a significant increase in [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate binding (+15 to +38%) at the 14 afterdischarges, fully kindled and long-term kindled stages.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
