Aberrant expression of the glutamate transporter excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (EAAT1) in Alzheimer's disease.
Glutamate-mediated toxicity has been implicated in the neurodegeneration observed in Alzheimer's disease. In particular, glutamate transport dysfunction may increase susceptibility to glutamate toxicity, thereby contributing to neuronal cell injury and death. In this study, we examined the cellular localization of the glial glutamate transporter excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (EAAT1) in th...
متن کاملContrasting modes of action of methylglutamate derivatives on the excitatory amino acid transporters, EAAT1 and EAAT2.
We have investigated the mechanism of action of a series of glutamate derivatives on the cloned excitatory amino acid transporters 1 and 2 (EAAT1 and EAAT2), expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. The compounds were tested as substrates and competitive blockers of the glutamate transporters. A number of compounds showed contrasting mechanisms of action on EAAT1 compared with EAAT2. In particular,...
متن کاملRegulation of extracellular glutamate in the prefrontal cortex: focus on the cystine glutamate exchanger and group I metabotropic glutamate receptors.
Microdialysis was used to determine the in vivo processes contributing to extracellular glutamate levels in the prefrontal cortex of rats. Reverse dialysis of a variety of compounds proved unable to decrease basal levels of extracellular glutamate, including Na+ and Ca2+ channel blockers, cystine/glutamate exchange (x(c)-) antagonists, and group I (mGluR1/5) and group II (mGluR2/3) metabotropic...
متن کاملValproic acid induces the glutamate transporter excitatory amino acid transporter-3 in human oligodendroglioma cells.
Glutamate transport in early, undifferentiated oligodendrocytic precursors has not been characterized thus far. Here we show that human oligodendroglioma Hs683 cells are not endowed with EAAT-dependent anionic amino acid transport. However, in these cells, but not in U373 human glioblastoma cells, valproic acid (VPA), an inhibitor of histone deacetylases, markedly induces SLC1A1 mRNA, which enc...
متن کاملNonvesicular release of glutamate by glial xCT transporters suppresses glutamate receptor clustering in vivo.
We hypothesized that cystine/glutamate transporters (xCTs) might be critical regulators of ambient extracellular glutamate levels in the nervous system and that misregulation of this glutamate pool might have important neurophysiological and/or behavioral consequences. To test this idea, we identified and functionally characterized a novel Drosophila xCT gene, which we subsequently named "gende...
