Astrocyte glutamate transporters regulate metabotropic glutamate receptor-mediated excitation of hippocampal interneurons.
Clearance of extracellular glutamate is essential for limiting the activity of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) at excitatory synapses; however, the relative contribution of transporters found in neuronal and glial membranes to this uptake is poorly understood. Hippocampal interneurons located at the oriens-alveus border express mGluR1alpha, a metabotropic glutamate receptor that regul...
متن کاملAquaporin 4-Mediated Glutamate-Induced Astrocyte Swelling Is Partially Mediated through Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 Activation
Astrocytes are one of the most abundant cell types in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), and astrocyte swelling is the primary event associated with brain edema. Glutamate, the principal excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter in the CNS, is released at high levels after brain injury including cerebral ischemia. This leads to astrocyte swelling, which we previously demonstrated is relat...
متن کاملExcitation of cerebellar interneurons by group I metabotropic glutamate receptors.
Cerebellar basket and stellate neurons (BSNs) provide feed-forward inhibition to Purkinje neurons (PNs) and thereby play a principal role in determining the output of the cerebellar cortex. During low-frequency transmission, glutamate released at parallel fiber synapses excites BSNs by binding to AMPA receptors; high-frequency transmission also recruits N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. We...
متن کاملMetabotropic glutamate receptor enhancement of spontaneous IPSCs in neocortical interneurons.
Metabotropic glutamate receptor enhancement of spontaneous IPSCs in neocortical interneurons. J. Neurophysiol. 78: 2287-2295, 1997. Using neocortical layer I neurons as a model for GABAergic interneurons, we have studied gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABAA) receptor-mediated spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) and modulation by metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). In the pre...
متن کاملGroup I metabotropic glutamate receptor actions in oriens/alveus interneurons of rat hippocampal CA1 region.
Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are important for hippocampal interneuron function. We used whole-cell recording and confocal imaging to characterize group I mGluR actions in CA1 oriens/alveus interneurons in slices. In tetrodotoxin and ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists, the group I mGluR specific agonist DHPG increased intradendritic Ca(2+) levels and depolarized inte...
