The hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor HCA2 is required for the protective effect of ketogenic diet in epilepsy.
One third of epilepsy patients are resistant to treatment with current anti-seizure medications. The ketogenic diet is used to treat some forms of refractory epilepsy, but the mechanism of its action has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA2), a known immunomodulatory receptor, plays a role in mediating the protective effect of this diet. We demonstrate for the first time that selective agonists at this receptor can directly reduce seizures in animal models. Agonists also reduce network activity in rodent and human brain slices. Ketogenic diet is known to increase circulating levels of endogenous HCA2 agonists, and we show that the effect of ketogenic diet in reducing seizures in the 6 Hz seizure model is negated in HCA2-deficient mice. Our data support the potential of HCA2 as a target for the treatment of epilepsy and potentially for neurodegenerative diseases.
期刊介绍：
PR&P is jointly published by the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET), the British Pharmacological Society (BPS), and Wiley. PR&P is a bi-monthly open access journal that publishes a range of article types, including: target validation (preclinical papers that show a hypothesis is incorrect or papers on drugs that have failed in early clinical development); drug discovery reviews (strategy, hypotheses, and data resulting in a successful therapeutic drug); frontiers in translational medicine (drug and target validation for an unmet therapeutic need); pharmacological hypotheses (reviews that are oriented to inform a novel hypothesis); and replication studies (work that refutes key findings [failed replication] and work that validates key findings). PR&P publishes papers submitted directly to the journal and those referred from the journals of ASPET and the BPS
