| 7531829 | Tusell JM, Barron S, Serratosa J: Anticonvulsant activity of calmodulin antagonist W-7 in convulsions induced by lindane and BayK-8644: effects in c-fos expression. Neurotoxicology. 1994 Fall;15(3):751-6. The anticonvulsant activity of calmodulin antagonist W-7, was investigated on convulsions induced in mice by the insecticide lindane and by the calcium channel agonist BayK-8644. We also studied the inhibitory effect of W-7 on on c-fos mRNA expression induced by both convulsants. We observed a good correlation between doses and the acute convulsive effects of lindane and BayK-8644. The incidence rate and time to onset were clearly dose-dependent. W-7 antagonized the convulsive effects of lindane and BayK-8644 in all the parameters studied. A significant decrease in the incidence rate and time to onset were observed when they are compared with the values obtained with the ED100 of lindane- and BayK-8644 induced seizures. Both were able to activate the mRNA expression of the proto-oncogene. The pattern of this expression displayed by in situ hybridization was very similar. A dramatic increase was found in dentate gyrus and high levels of mRNA expression also occurring in hippocampal fields and cortical regions. In accordance with the behavioural results, W-7 antagonized also the c-fos expression induced by lindane and BayK-8644. Our results suggest that lindane as BayK-8644 may activate voltage-dependent channels leading to calmodulin activation. |
