Correlation study on expression of GST-π protein in brain tissue and peripheral blood of epilepsy rats induced by pilocarpine
This study examined the correlation between GST-π in brain tissue and that in peripheral blood in
rat models of pilocarpine-induced refractory epilepsy. The animals were divided into drug-resistant group and drug-responsive
group according to the response to anti-epileptic drugs. GST-π expression in brain tissue was immunohistochemically determined,
while the expression of GST-π in peripheral blood was analyzed by Western blotting. In the hippocampus and cortex, GST-π was
mainly found in the cytoplasm and membrane of neurons, and the GST-π expression level was higher in drug-resistant group than
in the drug-responsive group and saline control group (Plt;0.05). Moreover, there was no significant difference between responders and saline control animals (Pgt;0.05). The change in e...
