In the present study we quantified cell volume changes in astrocytes lacking α-syntrophin thanks to the successful generation of GFAP/EGFP/α-Syn-/- mice, which enabled us to visualize astrocytes based on EGFP expression. We demonstrated that α-syntrophin knockout results in smaller astrocytic swelling when induced by severe hypoosmotic stress, OGD or high extracellular K+, and it also affects astrocyte volume changes during the washout period following mild hypo- and hyperosmotic stress, and 10 mMK+.
