However, the signals that control Ca2+ activity and glutamate release from SVZ astrocytes are not known. Here, we examined whether prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which induces glutamate release from mature astrocytes, is such a signal. Using the gramicidin-perforated patch-clamp technique, we show that the activity of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptor (NMDAR) channel in neuroblasts is a high fidelity sensor of ambient glutamate levels. Using such sensors, we found that application of PGE2 led to increased ambient glutamate levels in the SVZ. In parallel experiments, PGE2 induced an increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels in SVZ cells, in particular astrocyte-like cells, as shown using Ca2+ imaging. Finally, a PGE2 enzyme immunoassay showed that the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle and to a lesser extent the SVZ (ten-fold less) released PGE2. These findings suggest that PGE2 is a physiological signal for inducing glutamate release from SVZ astrocytes that is important for controlling neuroblast survival and proliferation.

Considering the long-term effects, it is expected that astrocyte-conditioned medium is a major regulator of gene expression in oligodendrocytes even in the absence of cytosol-to-cytosol communication via astrocyte-oligodendrocyte gap junction channels. Indeed, by comparing the transcriptomes of immortalized precursor oligodendrocyte (Oli-neu) cells when cultured alone and co-cultured with non-touching astrocytes we found profound changes in the gene expression level, control and networking. Remarkably, the astrocyte proximity was more effective in remodeling the myelination (MYE) gene fabric and its control by cytokine receptor (CYR)-modulated intercellular Ca2+-signaling (ICS) transcriptomic network than the dibutyryl-cAMP (db-cAMP) treatment-induced transformation into myelin-associated glycoprotein-positive oligodendrocyte-like cells. Moreover, astrocyte proximity up-regulated 37 MYE genes and switched on another 14 MYE, 23 ICS and 4 CYR genes, enhancing the roles of the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor and connexins Cx29 and Cx47.

By the end of the synaptogenic period, ensheathment is complete and motility of the BG processes decreases, correlating with the decreased motility of dendritic spines. We therefore have hypothesized that ensheathment is intimately involved in capping synaptogenesis, possibly by stabilizing synapses. To test this hypothesis, we misexpressed GluR2 in an adenoviral vector in BG towards the end of the synaptogenic period, rendering the BG α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPARs) Ca2+-impermeable and causing glial sheath retraction. We then measured the resulting spine motility, spine density and synapse number. Although we found that decreasing ensheathment at this time does not alter spine motility, we did find a significant increase in both synaptic pucta and dendritic spine density.

In humans, point mutations, duplications or deletions of PLP1 are associated with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease and spastic paraplegia Type 2. PLP1 is highly conserved between mammals, but less so in lower vertebrates. This has led some researchers to question whether certain fish species express PLP1 orthologues at all, and to suggest that the function of PLP1/DMalpha in the central nervous system (CNS) may have been taken over by MPZ. Here, we review the evidence for the conservation of orthologues of PLP1/DMalpha in actinopterygian fishes and provide a comparison of currently available sequence data across 17 fish species. Our analysis demonstrates that orthologues of PLP1/DMalpha have been retained and are functionally expressed in many, if not all, extant species of bony fish.

Examples of this include recent articles published in Neurology and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, and all of the papers in this issue of Neuron Glia Biology. \u0000 \u0000Multiple sclerosis (MS) is perhaps the prototypic glial disease, but the disorder is characterized by wide ranging variation in severity and disease progression among individuals. In large part this reflects the relapsing-remitting cycles of autoimmune damage to myelin and its repair, but increasingly, disorders once lumped together under the diagnosis of MS are being isolated as separate diseases with distinct pathophysiological mechanisms. In the process, more diverse roles for glia are being revealed. \u0000 \u0000Neuromylitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory disease that attacks the optic nerve and spinal cord, causing white matter lesions that result in blindness and paralysis. NMO is now seen as distinct from MS, and the most recent evidence supports the hypothesis that the direct target of the disorder is not oligodendrocytes, but rather astrocytes. A Neurology paper by Takano and colleagues (2010) reports that glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) is massively increased in patients with NMO compared to patients with MS. This is consistent with previous studies linking NMO with anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) autoantibodies (Lennon et al., 2005), and the depletion of astrocytic foot processes and loss of AQP-4 (water channel) in pathological studies of MNO patients. This astrocyte-specific biomarker in cerebral spinal fluid can distinguish NMO from MS and it can be used to track the efficacy of treatments (Giovannoni 2010). Such markers are extremely desirable in monitoring CNS disease where biopsy is rarely performed. At the same time the results illustrate the interdependence of astrocytes, olgodendrocytes, and axons for normal function. \u0000 \u0000GFAP in the CSF is an indicator of astrocyte damage, but many signals are released from glia to regulate nervous system development, response to injury, and synaptogenesis. Levels of the protein S100 in CSF, for example, showed a similar trend to AQP-4 in NMO and MS patients. S100 protein is secreted from astrocytes and it acts as a neuromodulator. A study published by Gomez-Casati et al (2010) addresses the question of how the release of signaling molecules from glia that promote synaptogenesis is regulated by signals from neurons. I these studies signaling by the neuregulin tyrosine kinase receptor (erbB) was eliminated in glial cells in the inner ear of mice by expression of a DN-erbB4 receptor under control of the GFAP promoter.
