Disease relevance of Slc1a2

 

High impact information on Slc1a2

  • In knockout mice, for either glial glutamate transporters, GLAST or GLT-1, a classical metabolic response to synaptic activation (i.e., enhancement of glucose utilization) is decreased at an early functional stage in the somatosensory barrel cortex following activation of whiskers [7].
  • However, the possible functional role of EAAC1 in preventing neuron death has not been resolved as compared with glial glutamate transporters such as GLT-1 [8].
  • These results demonstrate that GLAST is required for normal signal transmission between photoreceptors and bipolar cells and that both GLAST and GLT-1 play a neuroprotective role during ischemia in the retina [3].
  • Glutamate transporter GLT-1 is transiently localized on growing axons of the mouse spinal cord before establishing astrocytic expression [9].
  • Aquaporin-4 deficiency down-regulates glutamate uptake and GLT-1 expression in astrocytes [10].

Regulatory relationships of Slc1a2

  • However when trains of stimuli were applied, even to a small number of parallel fibres, knocking out GLAST or blocking GLT-1 in the absence of GLAST greatly prolonged and enhanced the AMPA receptor-mediated current [25].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Slc1a2

  • Here we report an expression analysis of five known (mEAAT2/5UT1-5) and two novel (mEAAT2/5UT6, -7) 5' splice variants of EAAT2 using semiquantitative PCR [1].
  • By in situ hybridization, 35S-labeled antisense oligonucleotide probes for GLT-1 mRNA consistently labeled the mantle zone/gray matter from embryonic day 11 through the adult stage [9].
  • By electron microscopy, GLT-1 immunoreactivity was detected in axons forming frequent enlargements and was focally localized on a small portion of the axolemma, particularly that facing adjacent axons [9].
  • By P12, and despite an increased global expression as observed by immunoblotting, the barrel pattern of GLAST and GLT-1 staining is no longer evident [22].
  • Both of the two 3'-ends have been demonstrated by RT-PCR to be present not only in liver but also in brain, indicating both brain and liver GLT-1 possess two types of 3'-ends [29].
