Glutamate can stimulate increases in intracellular magnesium concentration ([Mg2+]i) and induce neurotoxicity, both independent of Ca2+changes. Although Mg2+is essential within the cell, very little is known about how it is regulated, especially in neurons. Therefore we used the fluorescent indicator, magindo-1 and confocal microscopy to examine possible intracellular pools of Mg2+in cultured neurons that can be dynamically regulated by glutamate. The magindo-1 fluorescence signal was present throughout the cell body and extends into the neuronal processes. The magindo-1 405nm/490nm ratio signal was similar in the cytoplasm and nucleus, suggesting that resting [Mg2+]iis uniform across the neuron. The addition of 100μM glutamate/10μM glycine in an extracellular Ca2+- and Na+-free buffer stimulated an increase in [Mg2+]iin both the nuclear and cytoplasmic regions of similar magnitude and duration. This glutamate exposure also stimulated a [Mg2+]iincrease in neuronal processes which was inhibited by the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonist, MK-801 (10μM). The glutamate-stimulated [Mg2+]iincrease in both the cell body and neuronal processes was dependent on the extracellular Mg2+concentration. These findings suggest glutamate-stimulated [Mg2+]ichanges may not only impact cytoplasmic processes, but also directly trigger nuclear events involved, for example, in neuronal injury.
