El mouse is a mutant which has epileptic convulsions after tossing-up stimulations and has a hippocampal dysfunction. Platelet-derived growth factor B-chain homodimer has been reported to be a trophic factor of hippocampal neurons. We found that a recombinant PDGF-BB suppressed the convulsions of El mice in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, thrombin-treated mice manifested no convulsions, but thrombin receptor activating peptide-treated ones had convulsions. These findings suggest that an abnormality in PDGF-BB release may make El mice susceptible to tonic-clonic convulsions.
