Abstract

Purpose

Stem cell transplantation is promising for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) treatment. This study aimed to use PET imaging for the investigation of dynamic metabolic changes after transplantation of human neural stem cells (NSCs) and human GABA progenitor cells (GPCs) in a rat model of TLE.

Methods

18F-FDG PET imaging, video-electroencephalography (EEG), whole-cell patch-clamp recordings and immunostaining were performed after transplantation of NSCs and GPCs.

Results

PET imaging demonstrated that glucose metabolism was gradually improved in the NSCs group, but decreased in GPCs and the control. Video-EEG manifested that seizures were suppressed after NSCs or GPCs transplantation; whole-cell patch-clamp confirmed increased inhibitory response of GPC-derived cells; immunostaining studies verified that the transplanted NSCs and GPCs could survive, migrate and differentiate into mature neuronal subtypes.

Conclusion

18F-FDG PET imaging could be a distinguishing approach for evaluation of dynamic glycolytic metabolic changes after transplantation of NSCs and GPCs in TLE. Whole-cell patch-clamp provides evidence for functional maturation and integration of transplanted stem cells within host circuits.
