Highlights |
• | Nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia (NPD) is electrophysiological negative symptom of ADSHE. |
• | Both impaired GABAergic inhibition and enhanced glutamatergic transmission in thalamic hyperdirect pathway contribute to NPD. |
• | Zonisamide inhibits NPD via activation of inhibitory group II metabotropic glutamate receptors on thalamic hyperdirect pathway. |
Abstract |
To study the pathomechanism and pathophysiology of nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia of autosomal dominant sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (ADSHE), this study determined functional abnormalities in thalamic hyperdirect pathway from reticular thalamic nucleus (RTN), motor thalamic nuclei (MoTN), subthalamic nucleus (STN) to substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) of transgenic rats (S286L-TG) bearing S286 L missense mutation of rat Chrna4 gene, which corresponds to the S284 L mutation in the human CHRNA4 gene. The activation of α4β2-nAChR in the RTN increased GABA release in MoTN resulting in reduced glutamatergic transmission in thalamic hyperdirect pathway of wild-type. Contrary to wild-type, activation of S286L-mutant α4β2-nAChR (loss-of-function) in the RTN relatively enhanced glutamatergic transmission in thalamic hyperdirect pathway of S286L-TG via impaired GABAergic inhibition in intra-thalamic (RTN-MoTN) pathway. These functional abnormalities in glutamatergic transmission in hyperdirect pathway contribute to the pathomechanism of electrophysiologically negative nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia of S286L-TG. Therapeutic-relevant concentration of zonisamide (ZNS) inhibited the glutamatergic transmission in the hyperdirect pathway via activation of group II metabotropic glutamate receptor (II-mGluR) in MoTN and STN. The present results suggest that S286L-mutant α4β2-nAChR induces GABAergic disinhibition in intra-thalamic (RTN-MoTN) pathway and hyperactivation of glutamatergic transmission in thalamic hyperdirect pathway (MoTN-STN-SNr), possibly contributing to the pathomechanism of nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia of ADSHE patients with S284L mutant CHRNA4. Inhibition of glutamatergic transmission in thalamic hyperdirect pathway induced by ZNS via activation of II-mGluR may be involved, at least partially, in ZNS-sensitive nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia of ADSHE patients with S284L mutation.
