摘要

Objective

This study was to investigate the cytokine expression profiles in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of Self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS) patients with electrical status epilepticus during sleep (ESES) and compare these to other neurological diseases to identify the cytokines that correlate with ESES.

Methods

Seven SeLECTS patients with ESES and nine non-ESES controls were included in this study. CSF was centrifuged within one hour and stored at -80 °C; subsequently, High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), Caspase-1, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-1α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results

CSF levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-1α, and Caspase-1 in ESES group were significantly elevated compared with those non-ESES controls. Moreover, IL-1β CSF levels were positively correlated with Caspase-1 and TNF-α whereas it moderately correlated with IL-1α.

Conclusions

The present study indicates a close relationship between neuroinflammation and ESES pathogenesis in patients with SeLECTS.
