Astrocytes regulate multiple aspects of neuronal and synaptic function from development through to adulthood. Instead addressing each independently, this review provides a comprehensive overview the different ways astrocytes modulate throughout life, with particular focus on recent findings in area. It includes emerging functions astrocytes, such as role synapse formation, well more established roles, including uptake recycling neurotransmitters. This broad approach covers many neurons constantly interact maintain correct functioning brain. is important consider all these diverse when investigating how astrocyte-neuron interactions behavior appreciate complexity ongoing interactions.

Astrocytes are neural cells of ectodermal, neuroepithelial origin that provide for homeostasis and defense the central nervous system (CNS). highly heterogeneous in morphological appearance; they express a multitude receptors, channels, membrane transporters. This complement underlies their remarkable adaptive plasticity defines functional maintenance CNS development aging. tightly integrated into networks act within context tissue; astrocytes control at all levels organization from molecular to whole organ.

Astrocytes are ubiquitous in the brain and widely held to be largely identical. However, this view has not been fully tested, possibility that astrocytes neural circuit specialized remains unexplored. Here, we used multiple integrated approaches, including RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), mass spectrometry, electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry, serial block-face-scanning electron microscopy, morphological reconstructions, pharmacogenetics, diffusible dye, calcium, glutamate imaging, directly compare adult striatal hippocampal under identical conditions. We found significant differences electrophysiological properties, Ca2+ signaling, morphology, astrocyte-synapse proximity between astrocytes. Unbiased evaluation of actively translated proteomic data confirmed astrocyte diversity circuits. thus report core reveal evidence for within circuits, provide new, database resources approaches explore function throughout brain.Video AbstracteyJraWQiOiI4ZjUxYWNhY2IzYjhiNjNlNzFlYmIzYWFmYTU5NmZmYyIsImFsZyI6IlJTMjU2In0.eyJzdWIiOiI0OGY5MjVkMzgwOGU0NTkwZGMzNTRhMjQwZjZkMWM0OCIsImtpZCI6IjhmNTFhY2FjYjNiOGI2M2U3MWViYjNhYWZhNTk2ZmZjIiwiZXhwIjoxNjc3ODAzMzg0fQ.MwSBbMAp8Z94bVovEvEtEK9rSaCme1FWQaVStp6O8krax6PBRClksqtYhGWrI6xK8ct9tTpHJOavNya9agX01pfBV5Xv2_BxcAlr-eYdkIlnW6ddiNKQ9_7eEHZulgpmyVbQq2DLjKc1qNoV1ABBLI5qYU4yHQPnu-EI2_RASm5h1NErzRmbGIHeglc9V82L8hZBX8NyvUw74JxMPzvU4cgxuX5JBvnXBUOvw2oTkF0oPeBvpSchW6EKQzen4Skxhu-LXb5aAa3LkCMU3JhcCep28BCCVsKkV1kx3RuXhdJgkWD2ucI-70LBWqUvhtG-49ThFs0TB8dIBr74DrFLKA(mp4, (55.46 MB) Download video

Glucose is the long-established, obligatory fuel for brain that fulfills many critical functions, including ATP production, oxidative stress management, and synthesis of neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, structural components. Neuronal glucose oxidation exceeds in astrocytes, but both rates increase direct proportion to excitatory neurotransmission; signaling metabolism are closely coupled at local level. Exact details neuron-astrocyte glutamate-glutamine cycling remain be established, specific roles lactate cellular energetics these processes debated. Glycolysis preferentially upregulated during activation even though oxygen availability sufficient (aerobic glycolysis). Three major pathways, glycolysis, pentose phosphate shunt, glycogen turnover, contribute utilization excess oxygen, adrenergic regulation aerobic glycolysis draws attention astrocytic metabolism, particularly which has a high impact on oxygen-carbohydrate mismatch. Aerobic proposed predominant young children regions, re-evaluation data necessary. Shuttling glucose- glycogen-derived from astrocytes neurons activation, neurotransmission, memory consolidation controversial topics alternative mechanisms proposed.
