Vesicular glutamate transporter-dependent glutamate release from astrocytes.
Astrocytes exhibit excitability based on variations of their intracellular Ca2+ concentrations, which leads to glutamate release, that in turn can signal to adjacent neurons. This glutamate-mediated astrocyte-neuron signaling occurs at physiological intracellular Ca2+ levels in astrocytes and includes modulation of synaptic transmission. The mechanism underlying Ca2+-dependent glutamate release...
متن کاملSNARE protein-dependent glutamate release from astrocytes.
We investigated the cellular mechanisms underlying the Ca(2+)-dependent release of glutamate from cultured astrocytes isolated from rat hippocampus. Using Ca(2+) imaging and electrophysiological techniques, we analyzed the effects of disrupting astrocytic vesicle proteins on the ability of astrocytes to release glutamate and to cause neuronal electrophysiological responses, i.e., a slow inward ...
متن کاملGlutamate Uptake Triggers Transporter-Mediated GABA Release from Astrocytes
BACKGROUND Glutamate (Glu) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporters play important roles in regulating neuronal activity. Glu is removed from the extracellular space dominantly by glial transporters. In contrast, GABA is mainly taken up by neurons. However, the glial GABA transporter subtypes share their localization with the Glu transporters and their expression is confined to the same ...
متن کاملNitric oxide induces rapid, calcium-dependent release of vesicular glutamate and ATP from cultured rat astrocytes.
Nitric oxide (NO; 1 microM) or an NO donor (500 microM diethylenetriamine-nitric oxide, DETA-NONOate) caused rapid glutamate and ATP release from cultured rat cortical astrocytes. NO-induced glutamate release was prevented by calcium chelators (EGTA or BAPTA-AM) and an inhibitor of vesicular exocytosis (botulinum neurotoxin C, BoTx-C), but not by a glutamate transport inhibitor, L-trans-pyrroli...
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...
