Audiogenic seizure as a model of sudden death in epilepsy: A comparative study between four inbred mouse strains from early life to adulthood

Résumé

Objective: Mouse models of sudden unexpected death in epileptic patients (SUDEP) using audiogenic seizures (AGS) are valuable because death can occur following a sound‐induced seizure in the absence of any pharmacologic or electric component. However, only a few strains of mice are AGS prone, and the vast majority of studies involve DBA/2 or DBA/1 inbred strains. With the goal of characterizing the variation of AGS susceptibility with age, and of offering a larger panel of mice available for AGS studies, we performed a comparative study of the variability in AGS responses.Methods: The variation of AGS with age was determined in two classically used inbred strains of mice, DBA/2 and DBA/1, and two additional strains, BALB/c and 129/SvTer. As AGS‐stimulated tonic seizures can be lethal or nonlethal, even in the same inbred strain, in a second experiment, we addressed whether there is an innate capacity to reproduce the same response after a tonic AGS, referred to as “determinism,” in the DBA/2J, DBA/1J, and 129/SvTer mouse strains.Results: Results show that the 129/SvTer mouse is a more versatile model of SUDEP due to its wider age range of susceptibility compared to the DBA/2J and DBA/1J mouse strains. In addition, we show that determinism is not consistently evident in DBA/2J and 129/SvTer strains after AGS. Hence, one cannot be certain that a lethal AGS will always be lethal in successive testing after resuscitation and vice versa in these two mouse strains.Significance: These studies highlight the phenotypic variability of AGS in different mouse strains, show the value of an additional mouse strain, 129/SvTer, for studies using AGS, and thus provide valuable information for future studies of AGS and SUDEP.
