The electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1 is a high-affinity bicarbonate carrier in cortical astrocytes.
The electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1 (SLC4A4) is a robust regulator of intracellular H(+) and a significant base carrier in many cell types. Using wild-type (WT) and NBCe1-deficient (NBC-KO) mice, we have studied the role of NBCe1 in cortical astrocytes in culture and in situ by monitoring intracellular H(+) using the H(+)-sensitive dye BCECF [2',7'-bis-(carboxyethyl)-5-(and-...
متن کاملIsolation and culture of mouse cortical astrocytes.
Astrocytes are an abundant cell type in the mammalian brain, yet much remains to be learned about their molecular and functional characteristics. In vitro astrocyte cell culture systems can be used to study the biological functions of these glial cells in detail. This video protocol shows how to obtain pure astrocytes by isolation and culture of mixed cortical cells of mouse pups. The method is...
متن کاملCalcium dynamics in cortical astrocytes and arterioles during neurovascular coupling.
Neuronal activity in the brain is thought to be coupled to cerebral arterioles (functional hyperemia) through Ca2+ signals in astrocytes. Although functional hyperemia occurs rapidly, within seconds, such rapid signaling has not been demonstrated in situ, and Ca2+ measurements in parenchymal arterioles are still lacking. Using a laser scanning confocal microscope and fluorescence Ca2+ indicator...
متن کاملWaves in Rat Cortical Astrocytes
We have used digital fluorescence imaging techniques to explore the interplay between mitochondrial Ca 2 1 uptake and physiological Ca 2 1 signaling in rat cortical astrocytes. A rise in cytosolic Ca 2 1 ([Ca 2 1 ] cyt ), resulting from mobilization of ER Ca 2 1 stores was followed by a rise in mitochondrial Ca 2 1 ([Ca 2 1 ] m , monitored using rhod-2). Whereas [Ca 2 1 ] cyt recovered within z...
متن کاملChannels in Rat Cortical Astrocytes
Changes in intracellular Ca levels are an important signal underlying neuron-glia cross-talk, but little is known about the possible role of voltage-gated Ca channels (VGCCs) in controlling glial cell Ca influx. We investigated the pharmacological and biophysical features of VGCCs in cultured rat cortical astrocytes. In whole-cell patchclamp experiments, L-channel blockade (5 M nifedipine) redu...
