Glial fibrillary acidic protein is localized in the lens epithelium
The epithelium of the mouse lens stains intensely with antisera to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). A protein co-migrating with GFAP and immunoreactive with antisera to GFAP can be demonstrated in lens epithelium protein extracts by immunoblots. GFAP has previously been considered unique to cells of neural origin, but this study demonstrates that ectodermally derived cells express GFAP o...
متن کاملGlial Fibrillary Acidic Protein-Expressing Glia in the Mouse Lung
Autonomic nerves regulate important functions in visceral organs, including the lung. The postganglionic portion of these nerves is ensheathed by glial cells known as non-myelinating Schwann cells. In the brain, glia play important functional roles in neurotransmission, neuroinflammation, and maintenance of the blood brain barrier. Similarly, enteric glia are now known to have analogous roles i...
متن کاملAccumulation of glial fibrillary acidic protein in Müller radial glia during retinal degeneration.
Müller radial glia accumulate glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) in response to retinal injuries. We have studied the changes in cellular localization of GFAP in genetically caused retinal dystrophy in strains of cat and mouse: Abyssinian cats with progressive retinal dystrophy, and mice homo- and heterozygous for the retinal degeneration (rd) and retinal degeneration slow (rds) genes. The fo...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of a glial fibrillary acidic protein-LacZ transgene in retinal astrocytes and Müller cells.
PURPOSE Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is normally expressed in astrocytes, but not in Müller cells, in the mouse retina. In response to retinal injury or photoreceptor degeneration, however, GFAP gene transcription is strongly activated in the Müller cell. To identify the genetic elements involved in GFAP gene induction, the authors have studied gene expression in transgenic mice in wh...
متن کاملBlood Levels of Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) in Patients with Neurological Diseases
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The brain-specific astroglial protein GFAP is a blood biomarker candidate indicative of intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with symptoms suspicious of acute stroke. Comparably little, however, is known about GFAP release in other neurological disorders. In order to identify potential "specificity gaps" of a future GFAP test used to diagnose intracerebral hemorrhage, we ...
