Abstract

myo-Inositol is important for cell signaling both in cytoplasm and in intracellular organelles. It is required in the plasma membrane and cytoplasm for maintained synthesis of the second messengers, inositoltrisphosphate (IP(3)) and diacylglycerol (DAG) from phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP(2)), and in organelles as precursor for synthesis of complex signaling phospholipids and inositolphosphates from IP(3) and PIP(2). myo-Inositol must be taken up into the cell where its is used, because neither neurons nor astrocytes synthesize it. It is also an osmolyte, taken up in response to surrounding hyperosmolarity and released during hypo-osmolarity. There are three myo-inositol transporters, the Na(+)-dependent SMIT1 and SMIT2, and HMIT, which co-transports myo-inositol with H(+). Their relative expressions in astrocytes and neurons are unknown. Uptake kinetics for myo-inositol in astrocytes has repeatedly been determined, but always on the assumption of only one component, leaving kinetics for the individual transporters unknown. This paper demonstrates that astrocytes obtained directly from the brain express SMIT1 and HMIT, but little SMIT2, and that all three transporters are expressed in neurons. Cultured mouse astrocytes ...Continue Reading

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 & 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.
