Excitotoxicity-related endocytosis in cortical neurons.
Recent studies showed that endocytosis is enhanced in neurons exposed to an excitototoxic stimulus. We here confirm and analyze this new phenomenon using dissociated cortical neuronal cultures. NMDA-induced uptake (FITC-dextran or FITC or horseradish peroxidase) occurs in these cultures and is due to endocytosis, not to cell entry through damaged membranes; it requires an excitotoxic dose of NM...
متن کاملAcidosis-Induced Dysfunction of Cortical GABAergic Neurons through Astrocyte-Related Excitotoxicity
BACKGROUND Acidosis impairs cognitions and behaviors presumably by acidification-induced changes in neuronal metabolism. Cortical GABAergic neurons are vulnerable to pathological factors and their injury leads to brain dysfunction. How acidosis induces GABAergic neuron injury remains elusive. As the glia cells and neurons interact each other, we intend to examine the role of the astrocytes in a...
متن کاملNMDA and glutamate evoke excitotoxicity at distinct cellular locations in rat cortical neurons in vitro.
The development of cortical neurons in vivo and in vitro is accompanied by alterations in NMDA receptor subunit expression and concomitant modifications in the pharmacological profile of NMDA-activated ionic currents. For example, we observed that with decreasing NR2B/NR2A subunit expression ratio, the block of NMDA receptor-mediated whole-cell responses by the NR2B-selective antagonist haloper...
متن کاملGlutamate excitotoxicity is involved in cell death caused by tributyltin in cultured rat cortical neurons.
Tributyltin, an endocrine-disrupting chemical, has been used as a heat stabilizer, agricultural pesticide, and component of antifouling paints. In this study, the neurotoxicity of tributyltin was investigated in cultured rat cortical neurons. Tributyltin caused marked time- and dose-dependent increases in the number of trypan blue-stained cells. Measurement of extracellular glutamate concentrat...
متن کاملExcitotoxicity affects membrane potential and calmodulin kinase II activity in cultured rat cortical neurons.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Glutamate-induced excitotoxicity has been implicated as a causative factor for selective neuronal loss in ischemia and hypoxia. Toxic exposure of neurons to glutamate results in an extended neuronal depolarization that precedes delayed neuronal death. Because both delayed neuronal death and extended neuronal depolarization are dependent on calcium, we examined the effect ...
