Axonal Excitability

IntroductionMutations in SCN1A encoding the Nav1.1 subunit of the neuronal sodium channel underlie the devastating epilepsy of Dravet’s syndrome.1 The mechanism by which Nav1.1 dysfunction causes seizures is not clear. In vitro and in silico channel evaluation can support mutation pathogenicity but cannot define the in vivo impact of channel dysfunction. Axonal excitability studies can show the pattern of single-channel dysfunction in disorders where the channel is peripherally expressed.2 This study was undertaken to determine whether axonal excitability studies could detect changes in Dravet’s patients related to the condition or due to medication effect.MethodsPatients with Dravet’s syndrome were recruited from clinics in Sydney and Melbourne and axonal excitability studies were performed. Excitability results were analysed in 3 age groups and compared to age-matched normal controls.ResultsTwenty six patients (ages 2–46) were studied. Findings were most pronounced in patients aged 20–46 (n=7) with 6.9% greater increase in threshold during hyperpolarization(p=0.1), 7.6% greater threshold decrease on depolarization(p=0.005) and, in the recovery cycle, 19.7% reduction in superexcitability(p=0.002) and 26% reduction in subexcitability(p=0.03). Axonal excitability studies resembled previously published changes seen in patients with sodium channel blockade caused by acute tetrodotoxin poisoning.3ConclusionsChanges in excitability of axonal membrane in Dravet’s syndrome are consistent with a decrease in sodium channel function. As the affected channel in Dravet’s syndrome is not peripherally expressed, the effect seen is likely due to the heavy anticonvulsant regime required to control epilepsy, combined with a progressive loss of sodium channel function that occurs with age.ReferencesMeisler MH, O’Brien JE, Sharkey LM.
