Method for screening a glutamate release inhibitor in an astrocyte |
摘要 |
The present invention investigate the two modes of glutamate release and the releasing rate of glutamate, and thus can provide a useful technique for neuron protection and acceleration of neurotransmission by controlling the glutamate release in astroctye. Thus, the present invention provides an inhibitor of the fast-mode release and/or the slow-mode release of astrocytic glutamate, a screening method of the inhibitor and a pharmaceutical composition or method of ameliorating, preventing and/or treating the disease associated with the over-release of glutamate via the Ca2+-activated anion channel, with the inhibition of fast-mode glutamate release. |

1. A method for screening a glutamate-release inhibitor in an astrocyte, said method comprising the steps of:
preparing an astrocyte-containing sample; contacting a candidate material to the sample; and detecting the activation of a glutamate-permeable potassium channel or Ca2+-activated anion channel in the sample, wherein said candidate material is determined to be glutamate-release inhibitor in an astrocyte when the channel is found to be inactivated. |
