Abstract: To explore the mechanism of epilepsy, the proteins that were differentially expressed in the epilepsy and normal tissue were studied. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was performed to separate differentially expressed proteins that were subsequently identified by mass spectrometry. Totally 2500—3000 spots were detected in samples, 21 significantly differentially expressed spots were selected, and 17 proteins were identified. Two proteins in epilepsy are up-regulated, 15 proteins are down-regulated. Part of the identified protein candidates have been reported to be associated with epilepsy. However, some of the proteins identified in current were for the first time revealed to be linked to epilepsy. The functions of these proteins, the role of them in epilepsy were discussed.
