We studied potential ECM changes in a mouse model of pilocarpine\u2010induced <jats:italic>status epilepticus<\/jats:italic> (PISE) and their potential contributions to seizures.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We used a reduced intensity pilocarpine model to induce <jats:italic>status epilepticus<\/jats:italic> (SE) in mice. Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA) staining was used to identify PNNs. Immunohistochemistry, patch\u2010clamp electrophysiology, drug studies, and transcriptomic analysis were used to assess changes in gene expression and physiological properties of the PNN\u2010surrounded cells.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>WFA immunohistochemical staining shows <jats:italic>de novo<\/jats:italic> synthesis of PNNs around a heterogeneous population of interneurons, suggesting both inhibitory and disinhibitory neurons acquired PNNs post\u2010SE. Patch\u2010clamp electrophysiology from these cells indicates hyperexcitability in PNN\u2010bearing neurons in PISE mice, without a change in intrinsic cell properties except for afterhyperpolarization. Enzymatic degradation of PNNs partially rescued hyperexcitability but did not fully reverse it, suggesting that PNNs are at least in part necessary for the observed hyperexcitability. Other likely contributors include changes in ion channels that underly afterhyperpolarization (e.g., K<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> channels). We investigated candidate channels using channel\u2010specific pharmacological blockers, but with inconclusive results. However, transcriptomic data show upregulation of a K<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> channel gene, <jats:italic>Kcnk6<\/jats:italic>, as well as genes for ECM\u2010remodeling enzymes and numerous immune\u2010associated genes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Significance<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>De novo<\/jats:italic> formation of PNNs around interneurons in the CA1 region contribute to hyperexcitability of the cells they surround. This acquisition of PNNs is associated with a compensatory or causative mechanism occurring in the wake of PISE, with implications for PNNs in epileptogenesis and possibly other acquired forms of
