Glutamate release through volume-activated channels during spreading depression.
Volume-sensitive organic anion channels (VSOACs) in astrocytes are activated by cell swelling and are permeable to organic anions, such as glutamate and taurine. We have examined the release of glutamate through VSOACs during the propagation of spreading depression (SD). SD was induced by bath application of ouabain in hippocampal brain slices and was monitored by imaging intrinsic optical sign...
متن کاملReceptor-mediated glutamate release from volume sensitive channels in astrocytes.
Several lines of work have shown that astrocytes release glutamate in response to receptor activation, which results in a modulation of local synaptic activity. Astrocytic glutamate release is Ca(2+)-dependent and occurs in conjunction with exocytosis of glutamate containing vesicles. However, astrocytes contain a millimolar concentration of cytosolic glutamate and express channels permeable to...
متن کاملATP release through pannexon channels.
Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) serves as a signal for diverse physiological functions, including spread of calcium waves between astrocytes, control of vascular oxygen supply and control of ciliary beat in the airways. ATP can be released from cells by various mechanisms. This review focuses on channel-mediated ATP release and its main enabler, Pannexin1 (Panx1). Six subunits of Pan...
متن کاملModulation of Ca(2+)-stimulated glutamate release from synaptosomes by Na+ entry through tetrodotoxin-sensitive channels.
Tityustoxin (TsTX), a toxin obtained from the venom of the Brazilian scorpion Tityus serrulatus, stimulates Na+ influx through tetrodotoxin (TTX)-sensitive Na+ channels which, in turn, promotes both Ca(2+)-dependent and Ca(2+)-independent release of glutamate from rat cerebrocortical synaptosomes. The level of Ca(2+)-dependent glutamate release after addition of 0.5 microM TsTX is greater than ...
متن کاملDepression of Glutamate and GABA Release by Presynaptic GABA
Presynaptic GABA B receptors (GABA B R) control glutamate and GABA release at many synapses in the nervous system. In the present study we used whole-cell patch-clamp recordings of spontaneous excitatory and inhibitory synaptic currents in the presence of TTX to monitor glutamate and GABA release from synapses in layer II and V of the rat entorhinal cortex (EC) in vitro. In both layers the rele...
