ABSTRACT
Nuclear-distribution element-like 1 (NDEL1) is associated with the proliferation and migration of neurons. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in combination with VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) regulates the proliferation and migration of neurons. This study was performed to explore undefined alterations in the expression levels of NDEL1 and VEGF/VEGFR-2 within the hippocampus after status epilepticus (SE). Following the creation of pilocarpine-induced epilepsy models using adolescent male C57BL/6 mice, Western blotting and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction were applied to assess the levels of NDEL1, VEGF, and VEGFR-2 expression in whole hippocampi at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks post-SE, respectively. Immunofluorescent labeling was also employed to detect the colocalization of NDEL1 and VEGF in the hippocampus. Our results indicated that NDEL1 and VEGF have similar patterns of upregulation throughout the hippocampus. Upregulation of VEGFR-2 occurred only in the early stages, and the expression decreased shortly afterward. NDEL1 and VEGF were coexpressed in the cornu ammonis 3 pyramidal cell, granular, and polymorph layers of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus. This study revealed that NDEL1, VEGF, and VEGFR-2 may work together and are involved in the pathophysiology in the hippocampus after SE.
