    Description: To investigate the role of astrocytes in regulating synaptic transmission, we generated inducible transgenic mice that express a dominant-negative SNARE domain selectively in astrocytes to block the release of transmitters from these glial cells. By releasing adenosine triphosphate, which accumulates as adenosine, astrocytes tonically suppressed synaptic transmission, thereby enhancing the dynamic range for long-term potentiation and mediated activity-dependent, heterosynaptic depression. These results indicate that astrocytes are intricately linked in the regulation of synaptic strength and plasticity and provide a pathway for synaptic cross-talk.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pascual, Olivier -- Casper, Kristen B -- Kubera, Cathryn -- Zhang, Jing -- Revilla-Sanchez, Raquel -- Sul, Jai-Yoon -- Takano, Hajime -- Moss, Stephen J -- McCarthy, Ken -- Haydon, Philip G -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Oct 7;310(5745):113-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neuroscience, Conte Center for Integration at the Tripartite Synapse, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16210541" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Mark Houwink coefficients and molecular size parameters are presented for 31 unfractionated samples of polyacrylamide and hydrolyzed polyacrylamide in 0.5M and 1M aqueous NaCl. Polymers investigated include polyacrylamide, plus 10, 20, 50, 70, and 100 mol % poly(sodium acrylate). Their solution characteristics were studied by gel permeation chromatography, intrinsic viscosity, and light scattering techniques. A density function and heterodispersity index was assigned to each polymer sample due to the polydispersity of the molecular weight distributions. This technique improves the intrinsic viscosity-molecular weight correlation for heterodisperse commercially synthesized polymer systems. The intrinsic viscosity of these commercial compounds will yield useful estimates of their molecular weight, in spite of their obvious heterogeneity.

    Notes: Calculations of expansion coefficients from light scattering and viscometric data on heterodisperse samples of poly(acrylamide-co-sodium-acrylate) satisfactorily describe the solution properties of these polymers across the entire copolymer range, from polyacrylamide to poly(sodium acrylate). Light scattering results correlate well with the viscosity data provided that corrections are made for polymer heterodispersity and that a modified Krigbaum equation is used to estimate the unperturbed dimensions of the molecules. The expansion coefficients deduced from light scattering and Flory-Fox hydrodynamic theory were inaccurate and insensitive to fluctuations in charge density and molecular weight.
