Abstract

The transport of lactate is an essential part of the concept of metabolic coupling between neurons and glia. Lactate transport in primary cultures of astroglial cells was shown to be mediated by a single saturable transport system with a Km value for lactate of 7.7 mM and a Vmax value of 250 nmol/(min x mg of protein). Transport was inhibited by a variety of monocarboxylates and by compounds known to inhibit monocarboxylate transport in other cell types, such as alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate and p-chloromercurbenzenesulfonate. Using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Northern blotting, the presence of mRNA coding for the monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) was demonstrated in primary cultures of astroglial cells. In contrast, neuron-rich primary cultures were found to contain the mRNA coding for the monocarboxylate transporter 2 (MCT2). MCT1 was cloned and expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Comparison of lactate transport in MCT1 expressing oocytes with lactate transport in glial cells revealed that MCT1 can account for all characteristics of lactate transport in glial cells. These data provide further molecular support for the existence of a lactate shuttle between astrocytes and neurons.

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.
