Mutations in the MECP2 gene underlie a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders, most commonly Rett syndrome (RTT). We ask whether mutations interfere with human astrocyte developmental maturation, thereby affecting their ability to support neurons. Using human-based models, we show that RTT-causing greatly impact key role astrocytes regulating overall brain bioenergetics and these metabolic aberrations are likely mediated by dysfunctional mitochondria. During post-natal rely on neurons induce complex stellate morphology transcriptional changes. While cause cell-intrinsic landscape, surprisingly, they do not affect neuron-induced expression. Notably, however, unable develop mature due cell- non-cell-autonomous caused mutations. Thus, critically cellular molecular features and, hence, interact structural functional maturation

The mechanisms controlling the post-natal maturation of astrocytes play a crucial role in ensuring correct synaptogenesis. We show that mitochondrial biogenesis developing is necessary for coordinating astrocyte and astrocytic depends on transient upregulation metabolic regulator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) co-activator 1α (PGC-1α), which controlled by metabotropic glutamate 5 (mGluR5). At tissue level, loss or downregulation PGC-1α sustains proliferation, dampens morphogenesis, impairs formation function neighboring synapses, whereas its genetic re-expression sufficient to restore mitochondria compartment astroglial synaptic defects. Our findings developmental enhancement critical mechanism supporting synaptogenesis, thus suggesting may be therapeutic target case neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders characterized impaired

The brain is unique and the most complex organ of body, containing neurons several types glial cells different origins properties that protect ensure normal structure function. Neurological disorders are result a failure nervous system multifaceted cellular networks. Although great progress has been made in understanding glia involvement neuropathology, therapeutic outcomes still not satisfactory. Here, we discuss recent perspectives on role microglia astrocytes neurological disorders, including two common neurodegenerative conditions, Alzheimer disease progranulin-related frontotemporal lobar dementia, as well astrocytoma tumors. We emphasize key factors astrocytic biology such highly heterogeneic nature strongly dependent environment, genetic predispose to certain pathologies senescence inevitably changes CNS landscape. Our diverse contributions diseases can lead advances their functional recovery after malfunction.

The energy cost of information processing is thought to be chiefly neuronal, with a minor fraction attributed glial cells. However, there compelling evidence that astrocytes capture synaptic K + using their Na /K ATPase, and not solely through Kir4.1 channels as was once thought. When this active buffering taken into account, the rises by >200%. Gram-per-gram, turn out expensive neurons. This conclusion supported 3D reconstruction neuropil showing similar mitochondrial densities in neurons astrocytes, cell-specific transcriptomics proteomics, rates tricarboxylic acid cycle. Possible consequences for reactive astrogliosis brain disease are discussed.
