Peptides released by ameboid microglia regulate astroglial proliferation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peptides that stimulate astroglial proliferation are produced in traumatized adult rat brain by 10 d after injury. These same peptides are released by ameboid microglia activated in vitro. Our findings suggest that astroglial scarring is regulated in part by the release of factors from ameboid microglia near the site of brain injury.

Interleukin-1 is an astroglial growth factor in the developing brain.
The immunomodulator interleukin-1 (IL-1) is found to be an astroglial growth factor during development of the mammalian brain. In vitro studies indicate that ameboid microglia, a class of brain mononuclear phagocytes, are the likely source of IL-1. Examination of different brain regions during development shows IL-1 production only after the appearance of ameboid microglia. These observations s...
متن کاملInterleukin 1 of the central nervous system is produced by ameboid microglia
By screening specific populations of rat brain cells, we found that ameboid microglia secrete an 18 kD peptide with IL-1 biological activity. The IL-1 activity released by microglia was found to be identical to rat macrophage IL-1 on fractionation by gel filtration and high pressure liquid anion-exchange chromatography, and it was neutralized by an antiserum specific for murine IL-1. When added...
متن کاملInterleukin I of the Central Nervous System Is Produced by Ameboid Microglia
Several lines of evidence indicate that glia play an important role in supporting the growth of neurons (1-7). Using peripheral nerve grafts, Aguayo et al . (1) have shown that neurons of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS)' are capable of dramatic axonal sprouting when they are in a suitable glial environment . By altering glial cell populations in developing and regenerating neural sys...
متن کاملSwift transformation and locomotion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and microglia as observed by VEC-DIC microscopy (video microscopy).
The detailed assembly used by us for video-enhanced contrast-differential interference contrast (VEC-DIC) microscopy (video microscopy is first described. Employing such video microscopy, we then examined the morphological changes occurring during locomotion and activation processes of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) and microglia at an almost electron microscopic magnification. Upon contac...
متن کاملMicroglial and astroglial cells in the rat paraclaustral reservoir during postnatal development: an immunohistochemical study.
A immunohistochemical study of postnatal development of the paraclaustral reservoir of migrating cells in the rat brain was performed using anti-GFAP (for astroglia), ED1 and OX-42 (for microglia) antibodies. From birth to the 4th day of postnatal life most GFAP-positive cells in the paraclaustral reservoir are similar to transitional astroglia. From the end of the first postnatal week they hav...
