Although this neuronal network has attracted great attention for studying neuronal aspects of synaptic transmission, functions of glial cells supporting this neuronal activity remain unclear. To investigate the role of astrocytes in the respiratory network, we applied electrophysiological and immunohistochemical techniques to characterize astrocytes in regions involved in the generation and transmission of rhythmic activity. In the ventral respiratory group and the hypoglossal nucleus (XII) of acutely isolated brainstem slices, we analyzed fluorescently labeled astrocytes obtained from TgN(GFAP-EGFP) transgenic mice with the whole-cell voltage-clamp technique. Three subpopulations of astrocytes could be discerned by their distinct membrane current profiles. A first group of astrocytes was characterized by nonrectifying, symmetrical and voltage-independent potassium currents and a robust glutamate transporter response to D-aspartate. A second group of astrocytes showed additional A-type potassium currents, whereas a third group, identified by immunolabeling for the glial progenitor marker NG2, expressed outwardly rectifying potassium currents, smaller potassium inward currents, and only minimal D-aspartate-induced transporter currents. Astrocytes of all groups showed kainate-induced inward currents. We conclude that most of the astrocytes serve as a buffer system of excess extracellular glutamate and potassium; however, a distinct cell population (NG2-positive, A-type potassium currents) may play an important role for network plasticity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1523/JNEUROSCI.4022-03.2004"],["dc.identifier.isi","000188896100012"],["dc.identifier.pmid","14960607"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/48825"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Soc Neuroscience"],["dc.relation.issn","0270-6474"],["dc.title","Diversity of functional astroglial properties in the respiratory network"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

By investigating acute lesions of spinal cord white matter in anesthetized mice with fluorescently labeled microglia and axons using in vivo two-photon laser-scanning microscopy (2P-LSM), we identified the messenger nitric oxide (NO) as a modulator of injury-activated microglia. Local tissue damages evoked by high-power laser pulses provoked an immediate attraction of microglial processes. Spinal superfusion with NO synthase and guanylate cyclase inhibitors blocked these extensions. Furthermore, local injection of the NO-donor spermine NONOate (SPNO) or the NO-dependent second messenger cGMP induced efficient migration of microglial cells toward the injection site. High-tissue levels of NO, achieved by uniform superfusion with SPNO and mimicking extended tissue damage, resulted in a fast conversion of the microglial shape from ramified to ameboid indicating cellular activation. When the spinal white matter was preconditioned by increased, ambient ATP (known as a microglial chemoattractant) levels, the attraction of microglial processes to local NO release was augmented, whereas it was abolished at low levels of tissue ATP. Because both signaling molecules, NO and ATP, mediate acute microglial reactions, coordinated pharmacological targeting of NO and purinergic pathways will be an effective mean to influence the innate immune processes after spinal cord injury.

To estimate the involvement of the weakly inwardly rectifying K+ channel Kir4.1 (KCNJ10) in extracellular K+ clearance, we examined its functional expression in astrocytes of the respiratory network. Kir4.1 was expressed in astroglial cells of the VRG, predominantly in fine astrocytic processes surrounding capillaries and in close proximity to VRG neurons. Kir4.1 expression was up-regulated during early postnatal development. The physiological role of astrocytic Kir4.1 was studied using mice with a null mutation in the Kir4.1 channel gene that were interbred with transgenic mice expressing the enhanced green fluorescent protein in their astrocytes. The membrane potential was depolarized in astrocytes of Kir4.1(-/-) mice, and Ba2+-sensitive inward K+ currents were diminished. Brain slices from Kir4.1(-/-) mice, containing the pre-Botzinger complex, which generates a respiratory rhythm, did not show any obvious differences in rhythmic bursting activity compared with wild-type controls, indicating that the lack of Kir4.1 channels alone does not impair respiratory network activity. Extracellular K+ measurements revealed that Kir4.1 channels contribute to extracellular K+ regulation. Kir4.1 channels reduce baseline K+ levels, and they compensate for the K+ undershoot. Our data indicate that Kir4.1 channels 1) are expressed in perineuronal processes of astrocytes, 2) constitute the major part of the astrocytic Kir conductance, and 3) contribute to regulation of extracellular K+ in the respiratory network."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1152/jn.00996.2005"],["dc.identifier.gro","3143730"],["dc.identifier.isi","000235477900049"],["dc.identifier.pmid","16306174"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/1276"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","0022-3077"],["dc.title","Lack of the Kir4.1 channel subunit abolishes K+ buffering properties of astrocytes in the ventral respiratory group: Impact on extracellular K+ regulation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
