Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neurodevelopmental change is examined in neuron co-cultured with astrocyte that is isolated from animal model of autism with prenatal exposure to valproic acid. The neuron co-cultured with autism model astrocyte demonstrated the increase in excitatory synaptic transmission compared with neuron co-cultured with normal astrocyte. The neuron co-cultured with autism model astrocyte did not show change in number of excitatory synapse. On the other hand, the neuron co-cultured with autism model astrocyte demonstrated the increased expression of molecules which are mediate synaptic vesicle release.Taken together, excitarotry synaptic transmission increased by co-culturing with ASD model astrocyte may be due to increased expression of molecules which are mediate synaptic vesicle release.
