Abstract

1.S100B is a calcium-binding protein expressed and secreted by astrocytes, which has been implicated in glial-neuronal communication. Extracellular S100B appears to protect hippocampal neurons against toxic concentrations of glutamate. Here we investigated a possible autocrine role of S100B in glutamate uptake activity. 2. Astrocyte cultures were prepared of hippocampi from neonate Wistar rats. [(3)H] Glutamate uptake was measured after addition of S100B protein, antibody anti-S100B or TRTK-12, a peptide that blocks S100B activity mediated by the C-terminal region. 3.Antibody anti-S100B addition decreased glutamate uptake measured 30 min after medium replacement, without affecting cell integrity or viability. Moreover, low levels of S100B (less than 0.1 ng/mL) stimulated glutamate uptake measured immediately after medium replacement. 4. This finding reinforces the importance of astrocytes in the glutamatergic transmission, particularly the role of S100B neuroprotection against excitotoxic damage.

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

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.
