Microglia are intrinsic immune cells in the central nervous system and play key roles in the pathogenesis of various central nervous system disorders. Microglia have been shown to attack damaged neurons by secreting a variety of neurotoxic factors including inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species and glutamate. On the other hand, they can produce neurotrophic factors (NTFs) which support neuronal...
Glutamate-induced excitotoxicity is considered as a major cause of neurodegenerative disease. Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) on glial cells are responsible for the homeostasis of extracellular glutamate in the central nervous system which may contribute to the prevention of excitotoxic neurodegeneration. However, the differential EAAT expression in astrocytes and microglia is not fully...
