Description:
Neuronal intracellular chloride concentration [Cl(-)](i) is an important determinant of gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptor (GABA(A)R)-mediated inhibition and cytoplasmic volume regulation. Equilibrative cation-chloride cotransporters (CCCs) move Cl(-) across the membrane, but accumulating evidence suggests factors other than the bulk concentrations of transported ions determine [Cl(-)](i). Measurement of [Cl(-)](i) in murine brain slice preparations expressing the transgenic fluorophore Clomeleon demonstrated that cytoplasmic impermeant anions ([A](i)) and polyanionic extracellular matrix glycoproteins ([A](o)) constrain the local [Cl(-)]. CCC inhibition had modest effects on [Cl(-)](i) and neuronal volume, but substantial changes were produced by alterations of the balance between [A](i) and [A](o). Therefore, CCCs are important elements of Cl(-) homeostasis, but local impermeant anions determine the homeostatic set point for [Cl(-)], and hence, neuronal volume and the polarity of local GABA(A)R signaling.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4220679/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4220679/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Glykys, J -- Dzhala, V -- Egawa, K -- Balena, T -- Saponjian, Y -- Kuchibhotla, K V -- Bacskai, B J -- Kahle, K T -- Zeuthen, T -- Staley, K J -- NS 40109-06/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 EB000768/EB/NIBIB NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS040109/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS074772/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R25 NS065743/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- S10 RR025645/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- U41 RR019703/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Feb 7;343(6171):670-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1245423.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24503855" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
