Intracellular calcium plays an important role in neuronal hyperexcitability that leads to seizures. One calcium influx route of interested is the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) channel. Here, we evaluated the effects of capsazepine (CPZ), a potent blocker of TRPV1 channels on acoustically evoked seizures (audiogenic seizures, AGS) in the genetically epilepsy-prone rat (GEPR-3), a model of inherited epilepsy. Male and female GEPR-3s were used. For the acute CPZ treatment study, GEPR-3s were tested for AGS susceptibility before and after treatment with various doses of CPZ (0, 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg; i.p.). For semichronic CPZ treatment study. GEPR-3s were tested for AGS susceptibility before and after 5-day CPZ treatment at the dose of 1 mg/kg (i.p.). The prevalence, latency, and severity of AGS were recorded and analyzed. We found that acute CPZ pre-treatment reduced the seizure severity in male GEPR-3s; the effect was dose-dependent. In female GEPR-3s, however, CPZ treatment completely suppressed the seizure susceptibility. Furthermore, semi-chronic CPZ treatment suppressed seizure susceptibility in female GEPR-3s, but only reduced the seizure severity in male GEPR-3s. These findings suggest that the TRPV1 channel is a promising molecular target for seizure suppression, with female GEPR-3s exhibiting higher sensitivity than male GEPR-3s.
