Astrocytes Control Neuronal Excitability in the Nucleus Accumbens by Tommaso Fellin, Marcello D'Ascenzo, Philip G. Haydon

“…In this review, we will discuss recent results showing that mGluR5 receptors are key regulators of astrocyte activity. Synaptic release of glutamate activates mGluR5 expressed in perisynaptic astrocytes and generates intense Ca2+ signaling in these cells. …”

Chemokine Expression in Human Astrocytes in Response to Shiga Toxin 2 by Naomi Kioka, Koichi Minami, Akira Tamura, Norishige Yoshikawa

“…In the present study, we investigated the direct involvement of Stx in the inflammatory responses of human astrocytes (HASTs) treated with Stx. Immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR revealed that the expression of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), the receptor for Stx2, and Gb3 synthase (GalT6) in HASTs was increased by interleukin-1β (IL-1β). …”
