MECP2 and status epilepticus: miR-132-3p: In a rat model of lithium-pilocarpine-induced sustained status epilepticus (SE), it was found that abnormally high expression of miR-132-3p drove the secretion of IL-1β and TNF-α from type A1 astrocytes, exacerbating neuronal damage and seizures by targeting gene methylated CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) (down) and repressor reticulin 4 (RTN4) (up) (Wanet et al., 2012).
