Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) have been implicated in a
variety of cellular responses to glutamic acid. The work described in
this manuscript extends the role of mGluRs to include protection from
oxidative stress-induced programmed cell death. Glutamate analogs
regulate inositol-1,4,5 triphosphate mass accumulation in accordance
with their ability to protect cells from oxidative glutamate toxicity,
and protection appears to take place at the level of glutathione
metabolism. Short-term exposure of cells to low concentrations of
glutamate desensitizes cells to a subsequent challenge from glutamate.
Glutamate exposure upregulates the expression of mGluR5 in hippocampal
HT-22 cells and mGluR1 in cortical primary cultures. Finally,
group I mGluR agonists also protect cells from death programs initiated
by glucose starvation and cystine deprivation.
Key words:
metabotropic receptors; oxidative stress; glutamate; toxicity; cell death; cystine
