J. Neurochem.(2012)120, 611–621.AbstractActivity‐dependent redistribution of ion channels mediates neuronal circuit plasticity and homeostasis, and could provide pro‐epileptic or compensatory anti‐epileptic responses to a seizure. Thalamocortical neurons transmit sensory information to the cerebral cortex and through reciprocal corticothalamic connections are intensely activated during a seizure. Therefore, we assessed whether a seizure alters ion channel surface expression and consequent neurophysiologic function of thalamocortical neurons. We report a seizure triggers a rapid (< 2 h) decrease of excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC)‐like current‐induced phasic firing associated with increased transient A‐type K+current. Seizures also rapidly redistributed the A‐type K+channel subunit Kv4.2 to the neuronal surface implicating a molecular substrate for the increased K+current. Glutamate appliedin vitromimicked the effect, suggesting a direct effect of glutamatergic transmission. Importantly, leucine‐rich glioma‐inactivated‐1 (LGI1), a secreted synaptic protein mutated to cause human partial epilepsy, regulated this seizure‐induced circuit response. Human epilepsy‐associated dominant‐negative‐truncated mutant LGI1 inhibited the seizure‐induced suppression of phasic firing, increase of A‐type K+current, and recruitment of Kv4.2 surface expression (in vivoandin vitro). The results identify a response of thalamocortical neurons to seizures involving Kv4.2 surface recruitment associated with dampened phasic firing. The results also identify impaired seizure‐induced increases of A‐type K+current as an additional defect produced by the autosomal dominant lateral temporal lobe epilepsy gene mutant that might contribute to the seizure disorder.
