Objective. Excitotoxic neuronal death induced by epilepsy is associated with *-amino-3-.hydroxyl-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate acid (AMPA) receptors. Te GluR2 subunit of AMPA receptors.(AMPARs) may bind with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Te GluR2/GAPDH.complex co-internalizes upon stimulation of AMPARs, which might be involved in the development of.epilepsy. In this research, we hypothesized that disruption of the GluR2/GAPDH interaction with an.interfering peptide would protect against neuronal damage in vivo. Methods. Rat models of epilepsy were.induced by pilocarpine hydrochloride. TAT-GluR2NT1-3-2 peptide was synthesized to block interaction.between GluR2 and GAPDH. Fluoro-Jade B and TUNEL staining were used to detect degeneration and.apoptosis of neurons after interference by the peptide. Co-immunoprecipitation assay and western-blot.was performed to confrm that the peptide disturbed interactions between GluR2 and GAPDH. Results..Te time of epileptic seizure was found to be delayed after peptide interference. It was concluded that administration of an interfering peptide is able to signifcantly reduce degeneration and apoptosis of neurons..Te GluR2/GAPDH interaction and GAPDH nuclear expression were upregulated in the hippocampus of.rats subjected to pilocarpine-induced seizures. Conclusion. Disruption of the GluR2/GAPDH interaction.by administration of an interfering peptide protects against seizure-induced neuronal damage that is dose.dependent. Tus, the GluR2/GAPDH interaction may be a novel therapeutic target for development of.treatment for epilepsy.
