摘要：

Inducible expression of the mammalian glial cell glutamate transporter GLT-1 has been established in a CHO cell line selected for low endogenous Na+-dependent glutamate uptake by [H-3]aspartate suicide selection, Culturing the cells in doxycycline-containing medium, to activate GLT-1 expression via the Tet-On system, increased uptake of the GLT-1 substrate D-aspartate 280-fold, and increased cell size, Applying glutamate to whole-cell clamped, doxycycline-treated cells evoked a transporter-mediated current with characteristics appropriate for GLT-1, This cell line provides a useful tool for further examination of the electrical, biochemical and pharmacological properties of GET-I, the most abundant glutamate transporter in the brain.
