Astrocytes regulate cortical state switching in vivo.
The role of astrocytes in neuronal function has received increasing recognition, but disagreement remains about their function at the circuit level. Here we use in vivo two-photon calcium imaging of neocortical astrocytes while monitoring the activity state of the local neuronal circuit electrophysiologically and optically. We find that astrocytic calcium activity precedes spontaneous circuit s...
متن کاملWaves in Rat Cortical Astrocytes
We have used digital fluorescence imaging techniques to explore the interplay between mitochondrial Ca 2 1 uptake and physiological Ca 2 1 signaling in rat cortical astrocytes. A rise in cytosolic Ca 2 1 ([Ca 2 1 ] cyt ), resulting from mobilization of ER Ca 2 1 stores was followed by a rise in mitochondrial Ca 2 1 ([Ca 2 1 ] m , monitored using rhod-2). Whereas [Ca 2 1 ] cyt recovered within z...
متن کاملChannels in Rat Cortical Astrocytes
Changes in intracellular Ca levels are an important signal underlying neuron-glia cross-talk, but little is known about the possible role of voltage-gated Ca channels (VGCCs) in controlling glial cell Ca influx. We investigated the pharmacological and biophysical features of VGCCs in cultured rat cortical astrocytes. In whole-cell patchclamp experiments, L-channel blockade (5 M nifedipine) redu...
متن کاملNeuronal cues regulate uptake in cultured astrocytes.
Astrocytes of the vertebrate central nervous system are postulated to nourish neurons4,~0,13, to electrically insulate cortical neuronal columns 15, to cue patterns of developmental migrations of neurons 14, and to regulate the ionic environment of brain 5, 17,~9. Despite persistent investigation, the function or functions of this phylogenetically ubiquitous cell type remain largely hypothetica...
متن کاملMonocarboxylic acid transporters, MCT1 and MCT2, in cortical astrocytes in vitro and in vivo.
We used sequence-specific antibodies to characterize two monocarboxylic acid transporters, MCT1 and MCT2, in astrocytes. Both proteins are expressed in primary cultures of cortical astrocytes, as indicated by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence. Both MCT1 and MCT2 are present in small, punctate structures in the cytoplasm and at the cell membrane. Cells showing very low levels of labeling for...
