Astrocyte mitochondria in in vitro models of ischemia

Abstract

There is growing evidence that preservation of mitochondrial respiratory function during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion predicts the ultimate extent of tissue injury. Because neurons are selectively vulnerable to ischemic injury, many studies have focused on neuronal mitochondrial dysfunction in ischemia. However, positron emission tomography (PET) studies in animals and humans suggest that non-neuronal cells such as astrocytes may also experience mitochondrial metabolic compromise that contributes to ischemic necrosis. Astrocytes carry out a number of functions that are critical to normal nervous system function, including uptake of neurotransmitters, regulation of pH and ion concentrations, and metabolic support of neurons. Mitochondria are important for many of these actions. We have used a cell culture model of stroke, oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), to study the response of astrocyte mitochondria to ischemia, and to evaluate how changes in astrocyte mitochondrial function might affect neuronal survival and recovery after ischemia.

Bacterial Respiration

This feed focuses on cellular respiration in bacteria, known as bacterial respiration. Discover the latest research here.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Astrocytes in Repair & Regeneration

Astrocytes are glial cells found within the CNS and are able to regenerate new neurons. They become activated during CNS injury and disease. The activation leads to the transcription of new genes and the repair and regeneration of neurons. Discover the latest research on astrocytes in repair and regeneration here.

Astrocytes & Neurodegeneration

Astrocytes are important for the health and function of the central nervous system. When these cells stop functioning properly, either through gain of function or loss of homeostatic controls, neurodegenerative diseases can occur. Here is the latest research on astrocytes and neurodegeneration.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
