SiRNA-mediated ankyrin-G silence modulates the expression of voltage-gated Na channels in murine hippocampal HT22 cells
Abstract Background Voltage-gated sodium channels are the targets of many commonly used antiepileptic drugs. NaV1.6, encoded by Scn8a, increased in chronic mesial temporal epilepsy animal models and co-localized with Ankyrin-G, encoded by Ank3. We hypothesized that inhibition of Ank3 transcription b...
