Autocrine activation of EGF receptor promotes oscillation of glutamate‐induced calcium increase in astrocytes cultured in rat cerebral cortex

Abstract: We previously reported that astrocytes cultured for more than 2 days in a defined medium containing epidermal growth factor (EGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) showed calcium oscillation in response to glutamate, whereas the response pattern was transient in the absence of the exogenous growth factors. In the present study, we found that astrocytes showed glutamate-induced calcium oscillation, even in growth factor-free medium, if the cells had been cultured for more than 5 days. The calcium oscill… Show more

“…Here, we show that extracellular HSP90␣ transiently increases cytosolic [Ca 2ϩ ] in glioblastoma U87 cells and converts calcium response induced by EGF from a transient to an oscillatory pattern. Similar calcium oscillations induced by EGF have been previously reported in astrocytes in response to glutamate (42), pro-inflammatory cytokines (41), or thimerosal, which directly activates the inositol 1,4,5- triphosphate receptor and induces calcium release from internal stores (43). These stimuli also induce release of ATP by astrocytes.…”

“…Intracellular Ca 2ϩ modulates the proliferative effects of EGF (16,39,40), and complex Ca 2ϩ oscillations are associated with human astrocytoma cell migration (25,41,42 , and activity of store-operated calcium channels. Here, we show that extracellular HSP90␣ transiently increases cytosolic [Ca 2ϩ ] in glioblastoma U87 cells and converts calcium response induced by EGF from a transient to an oscillatory pattern.…”

“…Thus far, we have observed the similar activation of NF-B in glial cells in response to treatment with either EGF or glutamate. Interestingly, similarly to mGluR5, EGFR signaling promotes calcium oscillation and its expression is increased in astrocytes in response to injury (14,22). Moreover, previous studies have shown that (23), suggesting that there is cross talk between these two signaling pathways.…”

“…In one study, it was shown that mGluR5 stimulation leads to the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in astrocytes (23). Similarly to mGluR5, EGFR signaling promotes Ca 2ϩ oscillation in astrocytes (22), and the EGFR is upregulated in astrocytes in response to injury (14). Interestingly, it was recently demonstrated that in the hippocampus, mGluR5 activates NF-B, an evolutionarily conserved transcription factor that has critical roles in regulating cell survival, proliferation, and immune/inflammatory responses (8).…”

“…10,11 In addition, EGFR signaling is coupled to Ca 2+ waves, and it has been suggested that this signaling employs XPA to maintain the integrity of neuronal DNA during glutamatergic neurotransmission. [12][13][14][15] Indeed, human and animal loss-of-function mutations in the xpa gene result in neurodegeneration. 8 Nonetheless, only recently it was shown that neurons could co-express EGFR+XPA.…”
