Expression of glutamate transporter GLAST in the developing mouse cochlea.
The immunohistochemical localization of glutamate transporter GLAST in the developing mouse cochlea was studied at different ages between 0 and 30 days after birth (DAB). In the adult mouse cochlea, intense GLAST-like immunoreactivity was found in the supporting cells adjacent to the inner hair cells of the organ of Corti, the type II and suprastrial fibrocytes of the cochlear lateral wall, the...
متن کاملGlutamate transport by retinal Muller cells in glutamate/aspartate transporter-knockout mice.
Glutamate transporters are involved in maintaining extracellular glutamate at a low level to ensure a high signal-to-noise ratio for glutamatergic neurotransmission and to protect neurons from excitotoxic damage. The mammalian retina is known to express the excitatory amino acid transporters, EAAT1-5; however, their specific role in glutamate homeostasis is poorly understood. To examine the rol...
متن کاملExacerbation of noise-induced hearing loss in mice lacking the glutamate transporter GLAST.
Acoustic overstimulation is one of the major causes of hearing loss. Glutamate is the most likely candidate neurotransmitter for afferent synapses in the peripheral auditory system, so it was proposed that glutamate excitotoxicity may be involved in noise trauma. However, there has been no direct evidence that noise trauma is caused by excessive release of glutamate from the inner hair cells (I...
متن کاملAmygdaloid kindling and the GABA system.
The effect of increased brain GABA levels on fully kindled amygdala seizures was investigated in Long-Evans rats. The newly synthesized GABA-transaminase inhibitor, gamma-acetylenic GABA (GAG) administered on four consecutive days (100 mg/kg, followed by 50 mg/kg, i.p.) was found to either significantly reduce, or eliminate entirely, the behavioral seizures normally produced by amygdala stimula...
متن کاملManganese causes differential regulation of glutamate transporter (GLAST) taurine transporter and metallothionein in cultured rat astrocytes.
Neurotoxicity due to excessive brain manganese (Mn) can occur due to environmental (air pollution, soil, water) and/ or metabolic aberrations (decreased biliary excretion). Manganese is associated with oxidative stress, as well as alterations in neurotransmitter metabolism with concurrent neurobehavioral deficits. Based on the few existing studies that have examined brain regional [Mn], it is l...
