| Abstract | The chicken retina was exposed to 20% hyposmotic or ischaemia-like (54 mM KCl and 1 mM ouabain) conditions and changes in cell volume, amino acid release and activation of protein tyrosine kinases measured. To investigate possible connection between these cellular events, the effect of tyrosine kinase blockers on 3H-taurine, 3H-GABA and 3H-D-aspartate (as a tracer for glutamate) efflux was examined. Both hyposmotic and ischaemic conditions increased phosphorylation of the tyrosine kinase p125 focal adhesion kinase (p125FAK) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase-p38 (MAPK-p38), but not of the extracellular-signal-related kinases-1/2 (ERK1/ERK2), and markedly activated the tyrosine kinase target enzyme phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). Hyposmolarity and ischaemia both led to rapid retinal swelling followed by active volume recovery of 84% (hyposmolarity) and 40% (ischaemia), together with rapid release of taurine, GABA and D-aspartate. Taurine and GABA efflux under both conditions was reduced markedly by tyrosine kinase and PI3K blockers (50 µM tyrphostin A23, 50 µM genistein, 100 nM wortmannin, 25 µM LY294002) and was decreased by 85% when ischaemia-induced swelling was prevented. About 65% of D-aspartate efflux occurred irrespective of swelling in ischaemia and was either less sensitive (hyposmotic) or largely resistant (ischaemia) to the blockers. These results suggest that in ischaemia, GABA and taurine react primarily to swelling with a typical osmolyte response, while glutamate differs in its release mechanisms under both hyposmotic and ischaemic conditions. These findings suggest new strategies for evaluating the contribution of swelling to excitotoxicity in ischaemia. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
