Abstract(in English) We have demonstrated that glutamate-induced neuronal death is probably caused by long-lasting intracellular calcium elevation mediated by the activation of NMDA receptors in neuron-astrocyte co-cultures. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying this glutamate toxicity, we investigated the survival rate of neurons 24 hours after administration of calcium ionophore for mimicking long-lasting calcium elevation observed during glutamate loading. Loading of calcium ionophore resulted in the long-lasting intracellular calcium increase in neurons, and induced neuronal death. These results suggested that the long-lasting intracellular calcium elevation is crucial for the glutamate-induced neuronal death.
