متن کاملFunctional alterations of astrocytes in mental disorders: pharmacological significance as a drug target
Astrocytes play an essential role in supporting brain functions in physiological and pathological states. Modulation of their pathophysiological responses have beneficial actions on nerve tissue injured by brain insults and neurodegenerative diseases, therefore astrocytes are recognized as promising targets for neuroprotective drugs. Recent investigations have identified several astrocytic mech...
متن کاملDiversity in Reactive Astrocytes
Normal astrocytes in the adult undergo hypertrophy and proliferation and transform into reactive astrocytes following many types of central nervous system (CNS) injury (1–5). This process is termed astrogliosis and may result in the formation of a glial scar. Morphological studies on astrogliosis by neuroanatomists and pathologists at the beginning of this century focused on the most florid exa...
متن کاملReactive astrocytes and 1-antichymotrypsin in Alzheimer’s disease
There is ample genetic, biochemical, cellular and molecular evidence to show that the amyloid peptide (A ), a proteolytic fragment of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), plays an important, if not causative role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). An additional hallmark of AD is the neuroinflammatory response that is associated with the amyloid deposition. We discovered that the acute phase protein 1...
متن کاملReactive Oxygen Species, Redox Signaling and Neuroinflammation in Alzheimers Disease: The NF-kappa B Connection
Oxidative stress and inflammatory response are important elements of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, but the role of redox signaling cascade and its cross-talk with inflammatory mediators have not been elucidated in details in this disorder. The review summarizes the facts about redox-signaling cascade in the cells operating through an array of kinases, phosphatases and transcription fac...
