Neuroligand-evoked calcium-dependent release of excitatory amino acids from Schwann cells.
Bradykinin caused a receptor-mediated increase in release of the excitatory amino acids (EAAs) glutamate and aspartate from Schwann cell cultures obtained from dorsal root ganglia (DRG) together with an increase in the cytoplasmic level of free calcium. Perturbations which inhibited brady-kinin-induced calcium mobilization prevented the release of EAAs from glia. The addition of ionomycin cause...
متن کاملGlial modulation of synaptic transmission in the retina.
Glial modulation of synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability in the mammalian retina is mediated by several mechanisms. Stimulation of glial cells evokes Ca(2+) waves, which propagate through the network of retinal astrocytes and Müller cells and result in the modulation of the activity of neighboring ganglion cells. Light-evoked spiking is enhanced in some ganglion cells and depressed i...
متن کاملLong-Term Culture of Astrocytes Attenuates the Readily Releasable Pool of Synaptic Vesicles
The astrocyte is a major glial cell type of the brain, and plays key roles in the formation, maturation, stabilization and elimination of synapses. Thus, changes in astrocyte condition and age can influence information processing at synapses. However, whether and how aging astrocytes affect synaptic function and maturation have not yet been thoroughly investigated. Here, we show the effects of ...
متن کاملEffect of oxidative stress on excitatory amino acid release by cerebral cortical synaptosomes.
Previous studies in our laboratory have suggested that an oxidation reaction is responsible for the actions of free radicals to decrease synaptic potentials. Recently we observed that free radicals both decreased depolarization-induced vesicular release and enhanced basal, nonvesicular release of the excitatory amino acid, [3H]L-glutamate. In order to evaluate the contribution of oxidative reac...
متن کاملA Novel Tool to Measure Extracellular Glutamate in the Zebrafish Nervous System In Vivo
Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Its release and eventual recycling are key to rapid sustained neural activity. We have paired the gfap promoter region with the glutamate reporter molecule, iGluSnFR, to drive expression in glial cells throughout the nervous system. Tg(gfap:iGluSnFR) is expressed on the glial membrane of Müller glia cells in the retina, which rapi...
