Abstract

Background: Pathways involved in neuron-dependent GLT1 regulation in astrocytes remain to be characterized. Results: Neuronal microRNA 124a can be transferred into astrocytes through neuronal exosomes and significantly increases GLT1 protein expression in an indirect manner. Conclusion: Neuronal exosomal miRNA 124a is able to regulate astroglial GLT1 expression. Significance: We characterize a novel pathway in neuron-to-astrocyte communication and identify a microRNA that modulates GLT1 protein expression.
