Levels of prodynorphin mRNA in rat dentate gyrus are decreased during hippocampal kindling
Abstract
The effect of hippocampal kindling on the levels of prodynorphin mRNA in rat hippocampus was examined by in situ hybridization using a synthetic oligonucleotide probe. Cryostat tissue sections were hybridised with a 32P-labelled 100 mer DNA probe complementary to the coding region of rat prodynorphin mRNA, and exposed to X-ray film. In rats exhibiting stage 4 seizures, the levels of prodynorphin mRNA in the dentate gyrus were dramatically reduced compared to control animals. This suggests that the development of kindling is accompanied by a reduction in the rate of synthesis of peptides derived from prodynorphin.
