| Abstract | The A2A receptor (A2AR) antagonist has been considered as an attractive option to improve the treatment of neurological disorders, and the function of A2AR antagonist may inhibit the release of glutamate and prevent neuron damage. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether SCH442416 can modulate the glutamate uptake in retinal Müller cells under increased hydrostatic pressure. The levels of glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate aspartate transporter (GLAST) were assessed in retinal Müller cells under 40 mmHg pressure for 24 h using reverse transcriptionquantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, and a glutamate uptake assay was performed using a scintillation counting method. Following treatment of the Müller cells with 100 nM SCH442416 under 40 mmHg pressure for 24 h, the mRNA and protein expression levels of GS and GLAST, and glutamate uptake activity were investigated. Under 40 mmHg pressure, the expression levels of GS and GLAST in the Müller cells, and glutamate uptake activity were significantly reduced. Treatment with SCH442416 significantly ameliorated the decreased expression levels of GS and GLAST, and improved the glutamate uptake activity in the retinal Müller cells exposed to 40 mmHg pressure, resulting in increased expression levels of GS and GLAST, and increased glutamate uptake activity in the Müller cells under pressure. These results suggested that SCH442416 may be a potential candidate as a beneficial neuroprotective agent for the treatment of glaucoma by accelerating the clearance of extracellular glutamate. |

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.
