ATP Released by Astrocytes Mediates Glutamatergic Activity-Dependent Heterosynaptic Suppression
Jing Ming Zhang,Huikun Wang,Chang Quan Ye,Woo Ping Ge,Yiren Chen,Zheng Lin Jiang,Chien Ping Wu,Mu-ming Poo,Mu-ming Poo,Shumin Duan +9 more
TL;DR: It is reported that ATP released from astrocytes as a result of neuronal activity can also modulate central synaptic transmission, and neuron-glia crosstalk may participate in activity-dependent synaptic modulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of astrocytes to hippocampal long-term potentiation through release of d-serine
Yunlei Yang,Woo Ping Ge,Yiren Chen,Zhijun Zhang,Wanhua Shen,Chien-ping Wu,Mu-ming Poo,Shumin Duan +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a supplement of d-serine, an agonist for the glycine-binding site of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, enhanced NMDA receptor activation and enabled long-term potentiation (LTP) induction in glial conditioned medium cultures.
Journal ArticleDOI
P2X7 Receptor-Mediated Release of Excitatory Amino Acids from Astrocytes
Shumin Duan,Christopher M. Anderson,Edmund C. Keung,Yongmei Chen,Yiren Chen,Raymond A. Swanson +5 more
TL;DR: Efflux through P2X7 channels is a previously unrecognized route of ligand-stimulated, nonvesicular astrocyte glutamate release.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity-induced rapid synaptic maturation mediated by presynaptic cdc42 signaling.
TL;DR: It is reported that a brief train of presynaptic action potentials rapidly converts early nonfunctional contacts between cultured hippocampal neurons into functional synapses by enhancing Presynaptic glutamate release.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased estradiol release from astrocytes contributes to the neurodegeneration in a mouse model of Niemann-Pick disease type C.
TL;DR: It is suggested that astrocyte dysfunction contributes to the neurodegeneration of NPC and estradiol treatment may be useful in ameliorating progression of the disease.
