title: [Methyl-beta-cyclodextrin influences glutamate transport in the rat brain nerve terminals by depletion of membrane cholesterol].
abstract: Role of membrane cholesterol in direct and reversed function of Na+ -dependent glutamate transporters and exocytosis was investigated. The depletion of membrane cholesterol by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MebetaCD) resulted in a dose-dependent significant reduction of the L-[14C]glutamate uptake by synaptosomes. Treatment of synaptosomes with 15 mM MebetaCD caused a decrease in the velocity of L-[14C]glutamate uptake by 49 +/- 4% (P < or = 0.05). The depolarization stimulated Ca2+ -dependent glutamate release that occurred via reverse functioning of glutamate transporters decreased insignificantly for 1 min from 8.0 +/- 0.4% to 6.7 +/- 0.4% of total accumulated synaptosomal label after MebetaCD treatment. The depletion of membrane cholesterol resulted in a reduction of the depolarization evoked exocytotic release from 8.0 +/- 1.0% to 4.2 +/- 1.0% of total synaptosomal label. Thus, cholesterol depletion was found to decrease significantly the Na+ -dependent uptake and exocytotic release of glutamate.
