摘要: Purpose Glutamate transporters are responsible for removing glutamate from the extracellular space and have potential to protect neurons excitotoxicity. In present study, effects of ceftriaxone (2R, 4R)-APDC (APDC) on protein expression GLAST GLT-1, rate uptake, neuroprotection were evaluated in a cell culture model Methods Mixed neuron/astrocyte cultures prepared 1 day old rat pups. Protein levels GLT-1 quantified using In-Cell Western techniques after acute or 5-day treatment with either APDC. uptake was measured Michaelis-Menten kinetics evaluate Neuronal death response 10-minute mM challenge following Results Five-day 100 μM significantly increased both 31.3% 47.5% above control, respectively, Vmax 29.3%, Km 117.9%, reduced neuronal 22.0% challenge. APDC 27.6%, 92.4%, transport 118.9%, decreased 36.8% Conclusions Chronic provided excitotoxicity while increasing uptake. These compounds may therapeutic chronic excitotoxic neurodegenerative diseases.
