We have examined the dependence of rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) for protection against glutamate toxicity. Under co-culture conditions, rat CGNs require astrocytes to protect against glutamate. The CGNs become more sensitive to glutamate toxicity in co culture than when grown in cultures with only low numbers of astrocytes. If the protection of the astroyctes was withdrawn or blocked, this sensitivity led to neuronal death. Differing changes in NMDA receptor subunit subtype composition were noted depending on the conditions in which the CGNs were grown. Suppression of individual NMDA subunit subtypes by oligonucleotide knockdown resulted in inhibition of toxicity. This result implies that astrocytes regulate the expression of NMDA receptor subunit subtypes which influence neuronal sensitivity to glutamate toxicity.
