The critical role of Notch signaling has been shown in the pathogenesis of some neurological disorders including schizophrenia, epilepsy and Alzheimer�s disease. This study was aimed to evaluate the role of Notch 1 receptor in epileptogenesis as well as seizure characteristics. The animals were divided into three groups of sham, early stage and end stage. In sham group: Normal saline was injected intraperitoneally (ip) in the same as protocol of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) injection. PTZ was injected (ip) every 48 hr over a period of 1 week in the group of early stage and over a period of 4 weeks in the end stage. The gene expression as well as distribution of Notch 1 receptor was assessed in the parietal cortex and hippocampus. In addition, the effect of agonist or antagonist of Notch 1 receptor was assessed on the epileptic discharges induced by PTZ injection. The gene expression of Notch 1 decreased in the hippocampus significantly in the end-stage group compared with sham, and early groups. Furthermore, distribution of Notch 1 receptor increased in the somatosensory cortex and decreased in the CA1 hippocampal area in the end-stage group. Intraventricular microinjection of Notch 1 agonist significantly increased the amplitude as well as frequency of spikes and decreased the latency of first epileptic discharges. Our findings illustrate the critical role of Notch signalling as a potential pathway in the epileptogenesis during development of chronic seizures. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
