Abstract:
:In the present study, uptake of glutamine by rat cerebellar granule cells, a predominantly glutamatergic nerve cell population, has been investigated. Glutamine is taken up by granule cells via at least three transport systems, A, ASC and L. The L-type low affinity system (K(m) = 2.6 mM) is the major transport system in the absence of Na+. The systems A and ASC represent the Na(+)-dependent transport routes, both with almost identical high affinity for glutamine (K(m) = 0.26 mM). Similar transport systems for glutamine are also found in cerebral cortical neurons, a predominantly GABAergic nerve cell population, and cerebral cortical astrocytes. The glutamine transport properties in granule cells, however, show a series of differences from that of cortical neurons and astrocytes: (1) uptake of glutamine by granule cells is primarily mediated by system A (54%), while contributions by system A in cortical neurons and astrocytes are less than 30%; (2) granule cells exhibit strikingly higher transport efficiency for glutamine (V(max)/K(m) = 20 min(-1) for system A as compared to the V(max)/K(m) ratio of 5 min(-1) in cortical neurons and astrocytes), and (3) the initial uptake rates and the steady-state accumulation levels of glutamine are two- to threefold higher in granule cells than that of cortical neurons and astrocytes. These results taken together suggest that in accordance with the important need to replenish the neurotransmitter pool of glutamate, glutamatergic neurons exhibit highly efficient transport systems to accumulate glutamine, one of the major precursors of glutamate.
