Co-cultivation of confluent rat astrocyte cultures with embryonic chick neurons resulted in induction of glutamine synthetase activity in the astrocytes. This induction of glutamine synthetase in astrocytes by neurons was independent of induction by hydrocortisone and forskolin, but was dependent on the length of co-cultivation and the number of neurons present in the co-culture. Cycloheximide and actinomycin D inhibited the induction of glutamine synthetase in astrocytes by neurons, whereas cytosine arabinoside had no apparent effect. Results suggest that this induction of glutamine synthetase in astrocytes is mediated by cell contact with neurons and may represent a specific neuronal and glial interaction.
