Modulation of in vitro epileptiform activity by optogenetic stimulation of parvalbumin-positive interneurons

Abstract

GABAA signaling is surprisingly involved in the initiation of epileptiform activity since increased interneuron firing, presumably leading to excessive GABA release, often precedes ictal discharges. Field potential theta (4-12 Hz) oscillations, which are thought to mirror the synchronization of interneuron networks, also lead to ictogenesis. However, the exact role of parvalbumin-positive (PV) interneurons in generating theta oscillations linked to epileptiform discharges remains unexplored. We analyzed here the field responses recorded in the CA3, entorhinal cortex (EC) and dentate gyrus (DG) during 8 Hz optogenetic stimulation of PV-positive interneurons in brain slices obtained from PV-ChR2 mice during 4-aminopyridine (4AP) application. This optogenetic protocol triggered similar field oscillations in both control conditions and during 4AP application. However, in the presence of 4AP, optogenetic stimuli also induced: (i) interictal discharges that were associated in all regions with 8 Hz field oscillations; and (ii) low-voltage fast onset ictal discharges. Interictal and ictal events occurred more frequently during optogenetic activation than during periods of no stimulation. 4AP also increased synchronicity during PV-interneuron activation in all three regions. In opsin-negative mice, optogenetic stimulation did not change the rate of both types of epileptiform activity. Our findings suggest that PV-interneuron recruitment at theta (8 Hz) frequency contributes to epileptiform synchronization in limbic structures in the in vitro 4AP model.
