Differential regulation of glutamate transporter subtypes by pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α in cortical astrocytes from a rat model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Dysregulation of the astroglial glutamate transporters GLAST and GLT-1 has been implicated in several neurodegenerative disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) where a loss of GLT-1 protein expression and activity is reported. Furthermore, the two principal C-terminal splice variant...
