Glutamate uptake inhibition by oxygen free radicals in rat cortical astrocytes.
Formation of reactive oxygen species and disfunction of the excitatory amino acid (EAA) system are thought to be key events in the development of neuronal injury in several acute and long-term neurodegenerative diseases. Recent evidence suggests that the two phenomena may be interdependent. The present study is aimed at exploring possible molecular mechanisms underlying oxygen radical-EAA inter...
متن کاملBorna disease virus persistence causes inhibition of glutamate uptake by feline primary cortical astrocytes.
Borna disease virus (BDV), a nonsegmented, negative-stranded (NNS) RNA virus, causes central nervous system (CNS) disease in a broad range of vertebrate species, including felines. Both viral and host factors contribute to very diverse clinical and pathological manifestations associated with BDV infection. BDV persistence in the CNS can cause neurobehavioral and neurodevelopmental abnormalities...
متن کاملCircadian Modulation of Gene Expression, but not Glutamate Uptake, in Mouse and Rat Cortical Astrocytes
BACKGROUND Circadian clocks control daily rhythms including sleep-wake, hormone secretion, and metabolism. These clocks are based on intracellular transcription-translation feedback loops that sustain daily oscillations of gene expression in many cell types. Mammalian astrocytes display circadian rhythms in the expression of the clock genes Period1 (Per1) and Period2 (Per2). However, a function...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 decreases glutamate uptake in primary cultured rat astrocytes.
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide that is also known to induce a wide spectrum of biological responses in nonvascular tissue. In this study, we found that ET-1 (100 nM) inhibited the glutamate uptake in cultured astrocytes expressing the glutamate/aspartate transporter (GLAST); astrocytes did not express the glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1). The V(max) and the K(m) of the g...
متن کاملMitochondria modulate Ca2+-dependent glutamate release from rat cortical astrocytes.
Vesicular glutamate release from astrocytes depends on mobilization of free Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and extracellular space to elevate cytosolic Ca(2+) (Ca(2+)(cyt)). Although mitochondria in neurons, and other secretory cells, have been shown to sequester free Ca(2+) and have been implicated in the modulation of Ca(2+)-dependent transmitter release, the role of mitochondria...
