Abstract

In the postnatal subventricular zone (SVZ), astrocyte-like cells tightly encapsulate chains of migrating neuronal precursors, although an influence of the astrocyte-like cells on precursor migration has not yet been demonstrated. Cell migration was studied in acute sagittal brain slices to determine whether GABA signaling between astrocyte-like cells and neuronal precursors controls the speed of neuronal precursor migration in the anterior SVZ and rostral migratory stream of juvenile and adult mice. Application of GABA at 10 microm, a nondesensitizing concentration for GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)Rs), reduced the rate (mean of approximately 50 microm/hr) of cell migration by 21% via GABA(A)R activation. Application of the GABA(A)R antagonist bicuculline enhanced the migration rate by 30%, suggesting that endogenous GABA tonically reduces the speed of cell migration via GABA(A)R activation. Using immunohistochemistry, we found that astrocyte-like cells express the high-affinity GABA transporter subtype GAT4 on processes ensheathing neuronal precursors that contain GABA. Inhibition of GABA uptake into astrocyte-like cells or enhancement of GABA release from neuronal precursors during high K(+) application further reduced the migrat...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. 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.

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.
