Аннотация
Метаболическое репрограммирование астроцитов и микроглии рассматривается как значимый компонент эпилептогенеза, ассоциированный с развитием гипервозбудимости нейронных сетей, нейровоспалением и окислительным стрессом. В обзоре проанализированы ключевые механизмы глиальной дисфункции: сдвиг к аэробному гликолизу (эффект Варбурга), митохондриальные нарушения и генерация активных форм кислорода. Эти процессы регулируются сигнальными каскадами Wnt/GSK3β и mTOR, формируя порочный круг энергетического дефицита, активации NLRP3-инфламмасомы и эксайтотоксичности. Особое внимание уделено стратегиям коррекции глиального метаболизма. Наибольший терапевтический интерес представляют системные подходы, корректирующие метаболизм (кетогенная диета, агонисты рецепторов GLP‑1 и PPAR), и высокоточные технологии селективной модуляции глиальных функций (РНК‑терапия, нанодоставка). Таргетное вмешательство в метаболизм глии открывает путь к созданию антиэпилептогенных препаратов, способных модифицировать течение болезни, а не только купировать симптомы. Однако внедрение подходов в клиническую практику требует уточнения терапевтических окон вмешательства и разработки биомаркеров глиального статуса.
