Glutamine synthetase down-regulation reduces astrocyte protection against glutamate excitotoxicity to neurons
Open accessAbstract
Although the role of astrocyte glutamate transporters in glutamate clearance is well illustrated, the role of glutamine synthetase (GS) that influences this process remains to be elucidated. We examined whether GS affected the uptake of glutamate in astrocytes in vitro. The glutamate uptake was assessed by measuring the concentration of glutamate and glutamine in culture medium in the presence or absence of glutamate. We demonstrated that inhibition of GS in astrocytes by MSO significantly impaired glutamate uptake and glutamine release. Conversely, induction of GS expression in astrocytes by gene transfer significantly enhanced the glutamate uptake and glutamine release. When an inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was applied to the cultures, it significantly reduced GS expression and inhibited glutamate-induced GS activation resulting in increased excitotoxicity to neurons. These results suggest that GS in astrocytes may represent a novel target for neuroprotection against neuronal dysfunction and death that occur in many neurological disorders.

In the citing paper
“When a large amount of glutamate is released from neuronal vesicles, glutamate clearance is mainly achieved by glutamate transporters (EAATs) on the membrane of astrocytes, which transport excess glutamate into astrocytes, where it is converted to glutamylamine through the action of glutamine synthase, reducing damage to neurons. 88 , 89”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
