title: Effect of bone marrow stromal cell-conditioned medium on the glutamate uptake of peroxide-injured astrocytes.
abstract: We aimed to investigate the effect of bone marrow stromal cell-conditioned medium (BCM) on glutamate uptake of peroxide (H(2)O(2))-injured astrocytes. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) were isolated from rat bone marrow. Confluent BMSC cultures were incubated with serum-free Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium to create the BCM. Astrocytes were isolated from 1-day-old rats. H(2)O(2)-injured astrocytes were cultured in BCM (experimental group) or serum-free medium (control group). The labeled glutamate ((3)H-L-glutamate) uptake by H(2)O(2)-injured astrocytes with or without BCM was compared after 1 and 3 days. We found that astrocytes cultured in BCM exhibited increased glutamate uptake compared to those cultured in serum-free medium following H(2)O(2)-induced injury (p<0.01) and concluded that BCM increased the glutamate uptake capability of H(2)O(2)-injured rat astrocytes. The therapeutic benefits associated with BMSC transplantation following brain injury might be partly due to increased glutamate uptake by astrocytes.
