We suggest that a strategy of augmenting KCC2 activity by antagonizing its critical inhibitory phosphorylation sites may be a particularly efficacious method of facilitating Cl<sup>-</sup> extrusion and restoring GABA inhibition to treat medication-refractory epilepsy and other seizure disorders.

Thanks to the next generation sequencer and decrements in the cost for sequencing, the first reports of variants in KCC2 as risk factors for seizure disorders were made only 4 years ago, by means of gene-targeted sequencing of SLC12A5 (either all 26 coding exons or selected exons encoding the C-terminus).

Our results indicate the importance of even diminished levels of KCC2 in maintaining inhibitory signaling within the RT nucleus and suggest how this important activity choke point may be easily overcome in disorders such as epilepsy.<b>SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT</b> Precise regulation of intracellular Cl<sup>-</sup> levels ([Cl<sup>-</sup>]<sub>i</sub>) preserves appropriate, often inhibitory, GABAergic signaling within the brain.

Tyrosine phosphorylation of KCC2 is thus likely to play a key role in regulating the degradation of KCC2, a process that may be responsible for pathological losses of KCC2 function that are evident in SE and other forms of epilepsy.

We conclude that the anomalous expression of both Cl(-) transporters, NKCC1 and KCC2 [corrected] in TLE hippocampal subiculum probably causes altered Cl(-) transport in the "epileptic" neurons, as revealed in the microtransplanted Xenopus oocytes, and renders GABA aberrantly "exciting," a feature that may contribute to the precipitation of epileptic seizures.
