Coexpression of vimentin and glial fibrillary acidic protein in astrocytes of the adult rat optic nerve.
The localization of vimentin (VIM) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) was studied immunohistochemically in adult rat optic nerve. Consecutive Epon semithin tissue sections were immunostained respectively for VIM or GFAP. With this method, both antigens were detected in consecutive sections of the same cell. According to our results, most astrocytes in the adult rat optic nerve showed co...
متن کاملDisrupted glial fibrillary acidic protein network in astrocytes from vimentin knockout mice
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an intermediate filament protein expressed predominantly in astrocytes. The study of its expression in the astrocyte lineage during development and in reactive astrocytes has revealed an intricate relationship with the expression of vimentin, another intermediate filament protein widely expressed in embryonic development. these findings suggested that v...
متن کاملExpression of glial fibrillary acidic protein in astrocytes of rat supraoptic nucleus throughout estrous cycle.
OBJECTIVE Oxytocin (OXT) could facilitate preovulatory luteinizing hormone surge in animals and humans while brain OXT production depends on glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-associated astrocytic plasticity. Here, we examined if GFAP expressions in OXT-producing hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus (SON) correlate to special estrous stages. METHODS 38 adult female rats were classified into d...
متن کاملCo-expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein and vimentin in reactive astrocytes following brain injury in rats.
The immunohistochemical expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin (VIM) was studied in reactive astrocytes of the rat cerebral cortex 5 days after a brain injury. Seriated Epon semithin sections were immunostained alternatively for GFAP or VIM. Thereafter, both antigens were detected in consecutive sections of the same cell. Bordering the wound, an inner reactive glial l...
متن کاملCoexpression of vimentin and glial fibrillary acidic protein in glial cells of the adult rat pineal gland.
In the present work, coexpression of vimentin (VIM) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is demonstrated in the glial cells of the adult rat pineal gland. Serial consecutive Epon semithin sections (0.5 microns thick) were alternately immunostained for VIM and GFAP. GFAP positive cells and processes were found in the proximal region of the pineal gland, near the pineal stalk. Most of these...
