The peritumoral regions of WHO grade II gliomas, like astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma, have been reported to show epileptiform activities. An imbalance of glutamatergic and GABAergic mechanisms is primarily responsible for the generation of epileptiform activities. Here we have compared the electrophysiological properties of pyramidal neurons in intraoperative peritumoral specimens obtained from glioma patients with (GS) and without (GN) a history of seizures at presentation. Histology and immunohistochemistry were performed to assess the infiltration of proliferating cells at the peritumoral tissues. Whole-cell patch clamp technique was performed to measure the spontaneous glutamatergic and GABAergic activity onto pyramidal neurons in the peritumoral samples of GS (n = 11) and GN (n = 15) patients. The cytoarchitecture of the peritumoral tissues was devoid of Ki67 immuno-positive cells. We observed a higher frequency of spontaneous glutamatergic and GABAergic activities onto pyramidal neurons of the peritumoral samples of GS patients. Our findings suggest that, in spite of similar histopathological features, the pyramidal neurons in the peritumoral samples of GS and GN patients showed differences in spontaneous excitatory and inhibitory synaptic neurotransmission. An alteration in postsynaptic currents may contribute to the spontaneous epileptiform activity in GS patients.
