研究领域
癫痫是一种具有产生反复多次癫痫发作的持久倾向性的神经系统疾病。近年来我国癫痫的发病率仍呈上升趋势,然而迄今为止,癫痫疾病仍缺乏有效的药物预防和治疗措施,因此,癫痫疾病发病机制的深入研究将为寻找癫痫疾病的潜在药物靶点提供理论基础。关于癫痫的发病机制目前已有大量的研究,在分子水平,目前普遍认为癫痫相关基因表达紊乱可引起脑内兴奋性递质与抑制性递质失衡和离子通道功能异常,导致细胞内信号过度激活和神经元兴奋性异常增高,从而引发癫痫疾病的发生;在细胞水平,癫痫可引起脑内海马结构的损伤,如海马神经元丢失、星形胶质细胞活化、神经元再生、苔藓纤维发芽、炎症反应等的产生,而这些海马结构损伤是异常兴奋性突触环路形成的重要原因,可促进形成难治性癫痫。本课题组通过药理学、细胞生物学、分子生物学等实验技术,结合细胞与动物模型,致力于在细胞和分子水平阐明调控癫痫疾病发生的作用机制,旨在为癫痫疾病的药物治疗提供理论依据,并为癫痫疾病的治疗开拓新的视角。
