Diversity 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 in Brain Metastasis
Brain metastasis, the secondary growth of malignant cells within the central nervous system (CNS), exceeds the incidence of primary brain tumors (i.e., gliomas) by tenfold and are seemingly on the rise owing to the emergence of novel targeted therapies that are more effective in controlling extracranial disease relatively to intracranial lesions. Despite the fact that metastasis to the brain po...
متن کاملAstrocytes in the Optic Nerve Head of Glaucomatous Mice Display a Characteristic Reactive Phenotype
Purpose Optic nerve head astrocytes, a subtype of white-matter astrocytes, become reactive early in the course of glaucoma. It was shown recently that in the DBA/2J mouse model of inherited glaucoma optic nerve astrocytes extend new longitudinal processes into the axon bundles before ganglion cell loss becomes apparent. The present study aims at testing whether this behavior of astrocytes is ty...
متن کاملOrchestrated Intron Retention Regulates Normal Granulocyte Differentiation
Intron retention (IR) is widely recognized as a consequence of mis-splicing that leads to failed excision of intronic sequences from pre-messenger RNAs. Our bioinformatic analyses of transcriptomic and proteomic data of normal white blood cell differentiation reveal IR as a physiological mechanism of gene expression control. IR regulates the expression of 86 functionally related genes, includin...
متن کاملPotential link between aberrant astrocytes and paralysis in ALS
that dysfunctional cells in the nervous system known as astrocytes induce the motor neuron damage that characterizes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). But researchers have been unable to identify an astrocytic phenotype that becomes toxic to motor neurons. Pablo DíazAmarilla et al. (pp. 18126–18131) isolated a previously unknown type of astrocyte with aberrant phenotypic features from primar...
