Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor–Mediated Control of Neurotransmitter Release
Presynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) modulate the release of transmitter from most central synapses. However, difficulties in recording from presynaptic structures has lead to an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms underlying these fundamental processes. By recording directly from presynaptic reticulospinal axons and postsynaptic motoneurons of the lamprey spinal cord, w...
متن کاملMetabotropic glutamate receptors inhibit microglial glutamate release
Pro-inflammatory stimuli evoke an export of glutamate from microglia that is sufficient to contribute to excitotoxicity in neighbouring neurons. Since microglia also express various glutamate receptors themselves, we were interested in the potential feedback of glutamate on this system. Several agonists of mGluRs (metabotropic glutamate receptors) were applied to primary rat microglia, and the ...
متن کاملCalcium control of neurotransmitter release.
Upon entering a presynaptic terminal, an action potential opens Ca(2+) channels, and transiently increases the local Ca(2+) concentration at the presynaptic active zone. Ca(2+) then triggers neurotransmitter release within a few hundred microseconds by activating synaptotagmins Ca(2+). Synaptotagmins bind Ca(2+) via two C2-domains, and transduce the Ca(2+) signal into a nanomechanical activatio...
متن کاملIon channels and the regulation of neurotransmitter glutamate release.
Introduction Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. There are multiple receptors for glutamate: in addition to the fast transfer of information via the recently cloned receptors for AMPA [(RS)-y-amino-3hydroxy5 -methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate]/kainate [ l ] and the high-affinity kainate receptor [2], Ca+ influx via the post-synaptic N-methyl-i>...
متن کاملRole of metabotropic glutamate receptors in vasopressin and oxytocin release.
The effect of metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) activation on vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin (OT) release was evaluated using explants of the hypothalamoneurohypophysial system. (+/-)-1-Aminocyclopentane-trans-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (t-ACPD), an agonist at groups I and II mGluRs, increased VP and OT release in a concentration-dependent manner. A role for group I mGluRs in VP and OT release ...
