Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors Inhibit Microglial Glutamate Release [PDF]
ASN Neuro, 2012 Pro-inflammatory stimuli evoke an export of glutamate from microglia that is sufficient to contribute to excitotoxicity in neighbouring neurons. Since microglia also express various glutamate receptors themselves, we were interested in the potential ...

PKA drives an increase in AMPA receptor unitary conductance during LTP in the hippocampus
Nature Communications, 2021 Long-term potentiation at hippocampal CA1 synapses can be due to increasing the number and/or single-channel conductance of AMPA receptors. The authors show that PKA and CaMKII are necessary and together sufficient to increase single channel conductance,

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2021 Animal models of stress and related conditions, including depression, have shown that elevated peripheral levels of inflammatory cytokines have downstream consequences on glutamate (Glu) in the brain. Although studies in human adults with depression have

Glutamate Scavenging as a Neuroreparative Strategy in Ischemic Stroke
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Stroke is the second highest reason of death in the world and the leading cause of disability. The ischemic stroke makes up the majority of stroke cases that occur due to the blockage of blood vessels. Therapeutic applications for ischemic stroke include

Illuminating Relationships Between the Pre- and Post-synapse
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2020 Excitatory synapses in the mammalian cortex are highly diverse, both in terms of their structure and function. However, relationships between synaptic features indicate they are highly coordinated entities.

Roles of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptors (NMDARs) in Epilepsy
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders characterized by recurrent seizures. The mechanism of epilepsy remains unclear and previous studies suggest that N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) play an important role in abnormal ...

Structural basis of subtype-selective competitive antagonism for GluN2C/2D-containing NMDA receptors
Nature Communications, 2020 Selectively inhibiting N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) containing the GluN2C/2D subunits has been challenging. Here, using electrophysiology and X-ray crystallography, authors show that compounds UBP791 and UBP1700 show over 40- and 50-fold ...

Glutamate, Glutamate Receptors, and Downstream Signaling Pathways [PDF]
International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2013 Glutamate is a nonessential amino acid, a major bioenergetic substrate for proliferating normal and neoplastic cells, and an excitatory neurotransmitter that is actively involved in biosynthetic, bioenergetic, metabolic, and oncogenic signaling pathways. Glutamate signaling activates a family of receptors consisting of metabotropic glutamate receptors (

Critical Neurotransmitters in the Neuroimmune Network
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Immune cells rely on cell-cell communication to specify and fine-tune their responses. They express an extensive network of cell communication modes, including a vast repertoire of cell surface and transmembrane receptors and ligands, membrane vesicles ...

Glutamate induces autophagy via the two-pore channels in neural cells [PDF]
, 2016 NAADP (nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate) has been proposed as a second messenger for glutamate in neuronal and glial cells via the activation of the lysosomal Ca2+ channels TPC1 and TPC2.
