Plasmalogens and cell‐cell communication between retinal glial cells

National audience; Purpose Plasmalogens are glycerophospholipids containing a vinyl‐ether bond at sn‐1 position of their glycerol backbone and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) at sn‐2. We have previously shown that plasmalogens are involved in the regulation of perinatal retinal vascular development and particularly in astrocyte template formation (Saab et al, PLoSONE 2012 9(6):e101076). Since retinal Müller cells and astrocytes can communicate through calcium waves and connexin 43‐rich gap junctions, the aim of our study was to determine whether a reduction of plasmalogen levels affects communication between retinal glial cells. Methods Primary Müller cells and astrocyte were isolated f…
