Release of ATP from cultured rat astrocytes elicited by glutamate receptor activation

Neuroscience

Abstract

The release of ATP was studied in cultures of astrocytes derived from the brain hemispheres of newborn rats. There was a basal efflux of ATP, which was increased up to 19-fold by glutamate (300-1000 microM). N-methyl-D-aspartate (20-500 microM), alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA; 30-100 microM) and kainate (20 microM). The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-selective antagonist 2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoate (100 microM) blocked the effect of N-methyl-D-aspartate but not the effects of AMPA, kainate and glutamate. The AMPA receptor-selective antagonist 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo(f)quinoxaline (30 microM) blocked the effect of AMPA and also of glutamate and N-methyl-D-aspartate, but not the effect of kainate. The kainate receptor-selective antagonist D-glutamyl-amino-methanesulfonate (30 microM) blocked the effect of kainate but not of glutamate. Glutamate (1000 microM) did not increase the release of lactate dehydrogenase from astrocytes. Excitatory amino acids are known to release adenyl compounds in the brain. The present results identify one adenyl compound thus released, namely ATP, and identify astrocytes as one source. The release is brought about by activation of any of the three ionotropi...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.
