Recent histological studies reveal the presence of activated microglia and reactive astrocytes around A-beta plaques in brains from patients with AD. The chronic activation of microglia secretes cytokines and some reactive substances that exacerbate A-beta pathology. So neuroglia is an important part in the pathogenesis of AD. Curcumin has a lipophilic property and can pass through all cell membranes and thus exerts its intracellular effects. Curcumin has anti-proliferative actions on microglia. A minimal dose of curcumin affects neuroglial proliferation and differentiation. Its inhibition of microglial proliferation and differentiation were studied and researched by the University of Southern California Los Angeles (UCLA). Researchers[12] using doses of 4, 5, 10, 15, 20 microM concentration of curcumin in C-6 rat glioma 2B-clone cells, a mixed colony of both neuroglial cells in a six- day trial, showed that curcumin dose dependently stops the proliferation of neuroglial cells, by differentiate ...

Repairing trauma to the central nervous system by replacement of glial support cells is an increasingly attractive therapeutic strategy. We have focused on the less-studied replacement of astrocytes, the major support cell in the central nervous system, by generating astrocytes from embryonic human glial precursor cells using two different astrocyte differentiation inducing factors. The resulting astrocytes differed in expression of multiple proteins thought to either promote or inhibit central nervous system homeostasis and regeneration. When transplanted into acute transection injuries of the adult rat spinal cord, astrocytes generated by exposing human glial precursor cells to bone morphogenetic protein promoted significant recovery of volitional foot placement, axonal growth and notably robust increases in neuronal survival in multiple spinal cord laminae. In marked contrast, human glial precursor cells and astrocytes generated from these cells by exposure to ciliary neurotrophic factor both failed

In the astrocyte lineage, Meteorin expression appears to be restricted to relatively immature cell populations. Meteorin expression is gradually lost in GLAST‐expressing astrocytes located in the postnatal cerebral parenchyma (Figure 2K and L), and is not detected in two major types of astrocytes in the adult cerebrum, fibrous astrocytes and protoplasmic astrocytes (Miller and Raff, 1984) (Supplementary Figure 3G). In the developing cerebellum, Meteorin is expressed in the VZ and GLAST‐positive migrating glial precursors. Among three subclasses of astrocytes in the adult cerebellar cortex, bushy protoplasmic astrocytes, smooth protoplasmic astrocytes, and Bergmann glia (Palay and Chan‐Palay, 1974), Meteorin expression is restricted to Bergmann glia (Figure 2M and N) (Supplementary Figure 3H and I). Expression of Meteorin in Bergmann glia may be regulated by neurons that interact with Bergmann glia. For instance, dendritic spines of Purkinje cells were completely enwrapped by Bergmann glial ...

Glial cells can be grouped into two main types. One type facilitates communication and eliminates waste and the other produces myelin, which is a protective fatty tissue found around the axons of the neurons. While still in utero, our glial cells are created out of a type of pluripotent stem cell known as glial progenitor cells. Pluripotent stem cells are special because they are is genetically modified to turn into any other kind of cell. The point when schizophrenia is caused is when glial progenitor cells fail. The researchers didnt indicate in the press release what might cause the glial progenitor cells to be faulty and create dysfunctional glial cells.. What they did report though is that they created a mouse model and implanted human glial cells into the animals brains. The glial cells had formed from the progenitor cells of humans diagnosed with childhood-onset schizophrenia. ...

AU - Takano-Yamamoto, Teruko. PY - 2001/1/22. Y1 - 2001/1/22. N2 - To determine the target of cytotoxicity of cisplatin (CDDP), we injected newborn rats with 2mg/kg CDDP and examined the trigeminal ganglion for possible cell death. A nick translation method for DNA fragmentation revealed CDDP-induced glial cell death. DNA fragmentation was detected in both Schwann cells and satellite cells. Satellite cell death was observed as early as 0.5 day after injection, most frequent at 1-3 days and subsided thereafter. The incidence of neuronal death was very low and comparable to that observed in vehicle control rats. CDDP has selective toxicity to peripheral glial cells, though the damage did not culminate in cell death in adults. The glial toxicity may contribute to clinical symptoms of CDDP neuropathy..

A response to Leprince: The role of Bergmann glial cells in cerebellar development. Cancer & Metabolism 2013, 1:14. We recently demonstrated that developmentally regulated aerobic glycolysis is integral to the normal process of postnatal neurogenesis and becomes co-opted in medulloblastoma. In our work, we concluded that Hexokinase 2 (Hk2), which we found to be required for Shh-induced aerobic glycolysis, was expressed specifically by cerebellar granule neuron progenitors (CGNPs). We observed altered migration of CGNPs in hGFAP-cre;Hk2f/f mice and attributed this aspect of the phenotype to premature differentiation of CGNPs caused by loss of aerobic glycolysis. In response to our work, LePrince draws attention to the role of Bergmann glia in cerebellar development.. LePrince raises the important point that cerebellar granule neurons (CGNPs) do not develop in isolation but rather interact critically with the Bergmann glia. The Bergmann glia establish a radial scaffold on which the CGNPs migrate ...

Down syndrome (DS) occurs with triplication of human chromosome 21 and is associated with deviations in cortical development evidenced by simplified gyral appearance and reduced cortical surface area. Radial glia are neuronal and glial progenitors that also create a scaffolding structure essential for migrating neurons to reach cortical targets and therefore play a critical role in cortical development. The aim of this study was to characterise radial glial expression pattern and morphology in the frontal lobe of the developing human fetal brain with DS and age-matched controls. Secondly, we investigated whether microstructural information from in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could reflect histological findings from human brain tissue samples. Immunohistochemistry was performed on paraffin-embedded human post-mortem brain tissue from nine fetuses and neonates with DS (15-39 gestational weeks (GW)) and nine euploid age-matched brains (18-39 GW).

Increased 3H-thymidine incorporation during acute exposure was observed, but a significant increase in cell numbers in continuously exposed cultures was not observed. DNA synthesis: sham-exposed and radiofrequency (RF)-exposed cultures of primary rat glial cells showed no significant differences. C6 glioma cells exposed to radiofrequency at 5.9 µW/g SAR exhibited small significant (20-40%) increases in 38% of 3H-thymidine incorporation experiments. Growth curves of sham and RF-exposed cultures showed no differences in either normal or transformed glial cells. Cell doubling times of C6 cells also demonstrated no significant differences that could be attributed to altered DNA synthesis rates. Under these conditions, this radiofrequency field did not increase cell proliferation of normal or transformed cultures of glial cells. ...

Müller cells, that belong to the family of radial glia cells, have central functions during retinogenesis. They form a stabilizing scaffold, they are candidate targets for the mediation of extraneous retinogenetic factors, and they are an important source for retina-borne retinogenetic factors. Reaggregate cultures allow the analysis of retinogenesis from dispersed cells to fully laminated tissues. Reaggregating cells from the embryonic chick retina reassemble to reversed laminated cellular spheres including constituents of all retinal layers, yet the outer nuclear layer is represented by internal rosettes. Using spheroids, we tested whether Müller cells have a decisive function in establishing retinal polarity and in determining the lamination pattern. To this end, we established confluent monolayers of highly enriched Müller cells derived from E6 or E13 chicken retinas, and then let dispersed E5.5 retinal cells reaggregate either in the absence of these monolayers or on top of them. In the ...

a. Microglia in Normal and Injured CNSs. Microglia constitute a distinct glial population in the CNS [1-4]. Unlike neurons and macroglia that are of neuroepithelial origin, microglia are mesodermal (i.e., bone marrow) in origin and seed the brain early in embryogenesis: during development, mono-cytes migrate to the brain through the vessels located in specific regions of the brain. (called glial fountains in humans). These areas are concentrated around the subven-tricular zones where active neurogenesis occurs. These ameboid tissue macrophages then migrate throughout the entire brain parenchyma and differentiate into resident microglial cells. In the mature CNS, microglia are ubiquitously present as highly ramified cells (resting microglia) [5,6]. They respond to changes in the CNS microenvironment in a variety of disorders with or without the participation of the systemic monocytes. Although in degenerative disorders such as AD and Parkinsons disease there is little evidence to support ...

The nervous system is composed of two types of cells: neurons and glia. In neuronal circuits, neurons communicate through synapses and glia play a crucial modulatory role. To modulate chemical reuptake, glia send processes close to synapses and many glia directly appose or ensheathe a synapse. This structural motif is one of the elements often included in describing a vertebrate tripartite synapse, which includes a bidirectional functional neuron-glia relationship. The exact nature of this neuron-glia communication is not well understood. In the invertebrate fruit fly, we have also found that particular neurons and glia also have a bidirectional functional relationship. This allows us to ask new questions about glial morphology. Throughout multiple images, I identified particular neuronal synapses and surrounding glia. After creating a 3D reconstruction, I measured the distance between a particular neuronal synapse and its closest glial process. Interestingly, the neuronal synapses were not ...

The zebrafish has become a new model for adult neurogenesis, owing to its abundant neurogenic areas in most brain subdivisions. Radial glia-like cells, actively proliferating cells, and label-retaining progenitors have been described in these areas. In the telencephalon, this complexity is enhanced by an organization of the ventricular zone (VZ) in fast and slow-dividing domains, suggesting the existence of heterogeneous progenitor types. In this work, we studied the expression of various transgenic or immunocytochemical markers for glial cells (gfap:gfp, cyp19a1b:gfp, BLBP, and S100beta), progenitors (nestin:gfp and Sox2), and neuroblasts (PSA-NCAM) in cycling progenitors of the adult zebrafish telencephalon (identified by expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), MCM5, or bromodeoxyuridine incorporation). We demonstrate the existence of distinct populations of dividing cells at the adult telencephalic VZ. Progenitors of the overall slow-cycling domains express high levels of ...

Direct-write printing of stem cells within biomaterials presents an opportunity to engineer tissue for in vitro modeling and regenerative medicine. Here, a first example of constructing neural tissue by printing human neural stem cells that are differentiated in situ to functional neurons and supporting neuroglia is reported. The supporting biomaterial incorporates a novel clinically relevant polysaccharide-based bioink comprising alginate, carboxymethyl-chitosan, and agarose. The printed bioink rapidly gels by stable cross-linking to form a porous 3D scaffold encapsulating stem cells for in situ expansion and differentiation. Differentiated neurons form synaptic contacts, establish networks, are spontaneously active, show a bicuculline-induced increased calcium…. ...

The definition of CMD was previously made for CSCR and AMD, but there has been no reported definition in DME. It is important to define CMD and identify the related features to have more information about the prognosis of edema and the benefit of treatment. It has been associated with poor visual acuity in CSCR, and is said to affect the need for treatment in AMD.5,6,7 Cyst formation begins with intercellular fluid accumulation. Coalescence of the extracellular fluid occurs due to the disruption of Müller cells, whose pump-like function keeps the macula dry.18 In the chronic stage, fluid accumulates intracellularly. The subsequent death of Müller cells and neuroglia results in the formation of large cystoid cavities.19 Otani et al.3 reported the acute and chronic morphologies of DME in an OCT-based study and stated that the disappearance of septa resulted in confluent large cysts which might fill all layers of the retina. Consistent with this pathogenesis, Yamomoto et al.20 found that eyes ...

Gene transfer using immunomodulatory molecules is a promising tool for in vivo regulation of immune responses. Experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU), which serves as a model for human ocular inflammation, is induced by systemic immunization with autoantigens, but its expression is restricted to the eye. Previously, we reported protection of rodents against EAU by intravenous or/and periocular injection of vIL-10-expressing adenovirus. Here, the expression of vIL-10 was targeted into the rat Lewis eye, by intravitreal injection of either the free virus or ex vivo transfected retinal Müller glial cells (RMG-vIL-10). As shown using GFP-expressing adenovirus, a longer expression of transgene was observed in the eye after transfer of transfected syngeneic RMG cells than was seen after injection of free virus. Intravitreal injection of RMG-vIL-10 led to significant decrease in ocular pathological manifestations, compared to control RMG cells. This was observed when cells were injected simultaneously with

New experiments with the brains glial cells have shed light on some of the most mysterious aspects of the mind. Glial cells make up nearly 90 percent of cells in the brain.. Until the last 20 years, brain scientists believed neurons communicated to each other, represented our thoughts, and that glia represented the cement holding the brain together. They were considered to be mere insulators for neurons.. But recently scientists have begun to focus on a particular type of glial cell - astrocytes - that are very abundant in the cortex. Interestingly, we humans have the most, and the biggest, astrocytes in our cortex.. Scientists have discovered that astrocytes are the adult stem cell in the brain. They also communicate among themselves via calcium waves, and are capable of sending information to neurons. They also control blood flow to important regions of activity in the brain.. Harvard Universitys Stephen W. Kuffler was the first to discover that astrocytes exhibit an electrical potential, ...

Microglia and astroglia have been thought to govern the survival of neurons after damage to the CNS. To investigate these putative glia- neuron relationships, we examined microglia and astroglia secretion products for effects upon growth of cultured neurons. Activated microglia secrete small neurotoxic factors (, 500 Da), while astroglia constitutively release proteins (, 10 kDa) that promote neuronal growth. Proteins released from astroglia, moreover, attenuate microglial toxicity, suggesting that different glial populations have opposing actions upon neuronal survival. Further study shows that neurotoxins from microglia are heat-stable, protease-resistant molecules with biologic activities blocked by NMDA receptor antagonists. Microglial factors, although toxic for chick ciliary neurons and rat spinal cord neurons, did not reduce numbers of oligodendroglia, astroglia, or Schwann cells in culture. The microglial neurotoxins can be distinguished from cytokines, from free radical intermediates, ...

As stated above, neuronal loss was seen with this paradigm in the cerebellar vermis but not in the hippocampus. Interestingly, an increase in amoeboid microglia occurred only in the cerebellar vermis, while robust elevations in astrocytic GFAP expression was observed in both brain regions. While microglial morphological transitions and increased astrocytic GFAP expression do not always equate to activation, they provide considerable evidence of neuroinflammation and are highly associated with reactive glial cell functions [75-78]. Based on this, our findings support the idea that microglial activation is strongly associated with PAE-induced neuronal loss; however, whether microglial activation contributes to or is caused by it remains unclear. In support of the latter, there was little presence of microglia, amoeboid or otherwise, in or near the cell layer in which neurodegeneration occurred. However, it is possible that secreted factors, such as cytokines, could diffuse from a distance to ...

Signal transduction pathways may be important targets of chemokines during neuroinflammation. In the current study, Western blot analyses show that in rat hippocampal neuronal/glial cell cultures chronic CXCL10 increases the level of protein for ERK1/2 as well as for the transcriptional factors CREB and NF-kappaB. Bcl-2, an anti-apoptotic protein whose expression can be regulated by a pathway involving ERK1/2, CREB and NF-kappaB, was also increased in the CXCL10 treated cultures. These results implicate a role for ERK1/2, CREB and NF-kappaB in effects of CXCL10 on hippocampal cells and suggest that chronic CXCL10 may have a protective role during certain neuroinflammatory conditions ...

The glia limitans, or the glial limiting membrane, is a thin barrier of astrocyte foot processes associated with the parenchymal basal lamina surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It is the outermost layer of neural tissue, and among its responsibilities is the prevention of the over migration of neurons and neuroglia, the supporting cells of the nervous system, into the meninges. The glia limitans also plays an important role in regulating the movement of small molecules and cells into the brain parenchyma by working in concert with other components of the central nervous system (CNS) such as the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The end foot processes extending from both perivascular and marginal astrocytes form a close association with the basal lamina of the parenchyma, or the functional components of the brain, to create the glia limitans. This membrane lies deep to the pia mater and the subpial space and surrounds the perivascular (Virchow-Robin) spaces. Any substance entering the central ...

Clearance of extracellular glutamate is essential for limiting the activity of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) at excitatory synapses; however, the relative contribution of transporters found in neuronal and glial membranes to this uptake is poorly understood. Hippocampalinterneurons located at the oriens-alveus border express mGluR1alpha, a metabotropic glutamate receptor that regulates excitability and synaptic plasticity. To determine which glutamate transporters are essential for removing glutamate at these excitatory synapses, we recorded mGluR1-mediated EPSCs from oriens-lacunosum moleculare (O-LM) interneurons in acute hippocampal slices. Stimulation in stratum oriens reliably elicited a slow mGluR1-mediated current in O-LM interneurons if they were briefly depolarized to allow Ca2+ entry before stimulation. Selective inhibition of GLT-1 [for glutamate transporter; EAAT2 (for excitatory amino acid transporter)] with dihydrokainate increased the amplitude of these responses ...

Purpose: (i) To determine whether early glial activation (Muller glia and microglia) is associated with retinal inflammation and neurodegeneration in diabetic retinopathy (DR). (ii) To further investigate if TXNIP knock down by siRNA prevents these retinal abnormalities in DR.. Methods: Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and age-matched normal rats were maintained for 8 and 16 weeks. To knock down TXNIP, siRNA targeted to TXNIP was injected intravitreally in diabetic rats while scramble RNA were used as controls. Subsequently, the rats were sacrificed; retinas harvested, and analyzed for gene expression by real time quantitative PCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry.. Results: We observed that the expression of radial glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, marker for Muller cell activation) and iba-1 (microglial activation marker) were increased significantly in the diabetic retina when compared with the normal retina. These results suggested that glial cell activation occured ...

N2 - Long-range enhancer interactions critically regulate gene expression, yet little is known about how their coordinated activities contribute to CNS development or how this may, in turn, relate to disease states. By examining the regulation of the transcription factor NFIA in the developing spinal cord, we identified long-range enhancers that recapitulate NFIA expression across glial and neuronal lineages in vivo. Complementary genetic studies found that Sox9-Brn2 and Isl1-Lhx3 regulate enhancer activity and NFIA expression in glial ...

Ependyma is the thin neuroectodermal lining of the ventricular system of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord, made up of ependymal cells. Ependyma is one of the four types of neuroglia in the central nervous system (CNS). It is involved in the production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and is shown to serve as a reservoir for neuroregeneration. The ependyma is made up of ependymal cells called ependymocytes, a type of glial cell. These cells line the CSF-filled ventricles in the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. These are nervous tissue cells with a ciliated simple columnar form much like that of some mucosal epithelial cells. The basal membranes of these cells are characterized by tentacle-like extensions that attach to astrocytes. Lining the CSF-filled ventricles, the ependymal cells play an important role in the production and regulation of CSF. Their apical surfaces are covered in a layer of cilia, which circulate CSF around the CNS. Their apical surfaces are also ...

Neuronal cell death is often caused by an excess of glutamate that is maintained and physiological level by an equilibrium of signaling between glia and neurons, also called the glutamate-glutamine cycle. Glutamate removal from the synaptic cleft by neuroglia is reduced in a mouse model of Huntingtons disease (HD) and in HD patients, suggesting that glial cells actively participate in the survival of neurons cells in HD. But is the glutamate-glutamine cycle contributing to neuronal death in HD? To answer this question we are taking advantage of a Drosophila model that has been successfully used to dissect the cellular and molecular events of neurodegenerative disorders including HD. HD, an inherited disease caused by expansion of CAG trinucleotide, which results in translation of a protein containing an enlarged polyglutamine (polyQ) domain. HD is characterized by the progressive degeneration of neurons, resulting in involuntary movement and death. Our preliminary data show that modulation of ...

Emerging evidence in both vertebrates and invertebrates is redefining glia as active players in the development and integrity of the nervous system. The formation of functional neuronal circuits requires the precise addition of new synapses. Mounting evidence implicates glial function in synapse remodeling and formation. However, the precise molecular mechanisms governing these functions are poorly understood. My thesis work begins to define the molecular mechanisms by which glia communicate with neurons at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ). During development glia play a critical role in remodeling neuronal circuits in the CNS. In order to understand how glia remodel synapses, I manipulated a key component of the glial engulfment machinery, Draper. I found that during normal NMJ growth presynaptic boutons constantly shed membranes or debris. However, a loss of Draper resulted in an accumulation of debris and ghost boutons, which inhibited synaptic growth. I found that glia use the Draper

Injury to the eye or retina triggers Muller cells, the major glia cell of the retina, to dedifferentiate and proliferate. In some species they attain retinal progenitor properties and have the capacity to generate new neurons. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) system and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling are key regulators of these processes in Muller cells. The extracellular signals that modulate and control these processes are not fully understood. In this work we studied whether endothelin receptor signaling can activate EGFR and ERK signaling in Muller cells. Endothelin expression is robustly upregulated at retinal injury and endothelin receptors have been shown to transactivate EGFRs in other cell types. We analyzed the endothelin signaling system in chicken retina and cultured primary chicken Muller cells as well as the human Muller cell line MIO-M1. The Muller cells were stimulated with receptor agonists and treated with specific blockers to key enzymes in ...

The data reported herein show the capacity of NSC 651016 to act as an inhibitor of CXCL12-mediated angiogenesis in a variety of in vitro and in vivo angiogenesis assays. Furthermore, these data suggest the potential application of NSC 651016 as an antiangiogenic therapy because it blocked endothelial cell migration, capillary-like tube formation, and angiogenesis. Furthermore, NSC 651016 may have wider applications in cancer therapy. CXCL12 has been implicated in the proliferation of astrocytes (14) by activating extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 but not p38 or stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase pathways (14) , therefore, CXCL12 may have a direct role in pathological glial cell proliferation such as reactive gliosis and brain tumor formation. Thus, blockade of CXCL12 function by NSC 651016 may have direct therapeutic benefits for certain brain cancers, one of the most refractory tumor types known. Additionally, CXCL12 participates in cancer cell metastasis by ...

The transcription factor SOX10 is essential for all stages of Schwann cell development including myelination. SOX10 cooperates with other transcription factors to activate the expression of key myelin genes in Schwann cells and is therefore a context-dependent, pro-myelination transcription factor. As such, the identification of genes regulated by SOX10 will provide insight into Schwann cell biology and related diseases. While genome-wide studies have successfully revealed SOX10 target genes, these efforts mainly focused on myelinating stages of Schwann cell development. We propose that less-biased approaches will reveal novel functions of SOX10 outside of myelination. We developed a stringent, computational-based screen for genome-wide identification of SOX10 response elements. Experimental validation of a pilot set of predicted binding sites in multiple systems revealed that SOX10 directly regulates a previously unreported alternative promoter at SOX6, which encodes a transcription factor that

Whenever the parts are seen severed from their connections, it is not easy to make the distinction, and a positive decision is only possible as long as the parts are viewed in their natural position.. Now it is ccrtainlyof considerable importance to know that in all nervous parts, in addition to the real nervous elements, a second tissue exists, which is allied to the large group of formations, which pervade the whole body, and with which we have in the previous lectures become acquainted under the name of connective tissues. In considering the pathological or physiological conditions of the brain or spinal marrow, the first point is always to determine how far the tissue which is affected, attacked or irritated, is nervous in its nature, or merely an interstitial substance. We thus obtain at the ...

Background Enteric glial cells (EGCs) are the main constituent of the enteric nervous system and share similarities with astrocytes from the central nervous system including their reactivity to an inflammatory microenvironment. Previous studies on EGC pathophysiology have specifically focused on mucosal glia activation and its contribution to mucosal inflammatory processes observed in the gut of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. In contrast knowledge is scarce on intestinal inflammation not locally restricted to the mucosa but systemically affecting the intestine and its effect on the overall EGC network. Methods and Results In this study, we analyzed the biological effects of a systemic LPS-induced hyperinflammatory insult on overall EGCs in a rat model in vivo, mimicking the clinical situation of systemic inflammation response syndrome (SIRS). Tissues from small and large intestine were removed 4 hours after systemic LPS-injection and analyzed on transcript and protein level. Laser ...

Purpose: Although it is well documented that cytokines and growth factors play a key role in retinal gliosis, the effects of these molecules on the potential modulation of retinal neurogenesis by resident human Müller stem cells (hMSC) has not yet been addressed. In order to examine the role of cytokines on the promotion or inhibition of hMSC proliferation and neural differentiation within the retina, is important to investigate whether the pattern of cytokine expression by Müller glia mimics that of the gliotic retina. We therefore compared the cytokine profile of normal and gliotic retina with that of Müller cells in culture.. Methods: Normal cadaveric retina was obtained from Moorfields Eye Bank. Retinectomy specimens were obtained upon written consent from patients undergoing retinal surgery at Moorfields Eye Hospital according to guidelines from the Local Ethics Committee. Protein lysates from tissue and MIO-M1 Müller glial cells were examined for cytokine expression using a proteome ...

These neuroglial cells have a variety of functions based on their types. Schwann cells or neurolemma cells, as previously mentioned, are important insulating layers. The astrocytes provide the vital support tissue of the central nervous system. The ependymal cells are found in the cavities of the central nervous system, while the oligodendrocytes contain many dendrites and help in insulating the axon. The last type are the microglial cells, which have the function of eradicating foreign substances like bacteria and cleaning the central nervous system of dirt and debris. The axon, therefore, can only work efficiently if the other related parts are also functioning well. The central nervous system and all the other body systems cannot act independently from each other. What affects one part of your body will eventually result to reactions of the other body organs.. ...

From emerging research in this new field, it is becoming clear that glial cells release cytokines, chemokines, and other neuroactive substances that disrupt the excitatory and inhibitory amino acid and neurotransmitter homeostasis and, consequently, elevate neuronal excitability, which manifests as both heightened and prolonged pain.. It has been suggested that glial cells are implicated in the onset or maintenance of multiple pain types and in the chronification of acute pain to chronic pain.. some substances released by these cells attenuate the response to pain-relieving therapies, particularly opioids.. For example, as Ji et al discuss, glial activation is not well defined, and it will be difficult to design drugs that target only glial cells without affecting neurons.. In the interim, pain patients might take a practical approach to improving their pain by improving their glial health through adoption of a healthier lifestyle and diet, losing weight, and maintaining a regular exercise ...

Identification of the signaling pathways that influence the reprogramming of Müller glia into neurogenic retinal progenitors is key to harnessing the potential of these cells to regenerate the retina. Glucocorticoid receptor (GCR) signaling is commonly associated with anti-inflammatory responses and GCR agonists are widely used to treat inflammatory diseases of the eye, even though the cellular targets and mechanisms of action in the retina are not well understood. We find that signaling through GCR has a significant impact upon the ability of Müller glia to become proliferating Müller glia-derived progenitor cells (MGPCs). The primary amino acid sequence and pattern of GCR expression in the retina is highly conserved across vertebrate species, including chickens, mice, guinea pigs, dogs and humans. In all of these species we find GCR expressed by the Müller glia. In the chick retina, we find that GCR is expressed by progenitors in the circumferential marginal zone (CMZ) and is upregulated ...

Neurons and glia are derived from a common set of precursor stem cells. Morrow et al. used a cortical slice assay to examine the signals required to specify neuronal versus glial cell fate and differentiation. Dissociated embryonic neural stem cells from a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing strain of mice were plated with cortical slices from mice of different ages (embryonic through postnatal). Cell fate and differentiation were monitored by changes in the morphology and expression of marker proteins for neurons and glia. Incubation of neural stem cells with embryonic cortical slices led to the development of mostly neuronal cells and incubation with postnatal cortical slices produced mostly glial cells, suggesting that different factors are produced at different stages of development and that the stem cells are poised to respond to either set of signals. Analysis of clones of the GFP-expressing cells showed that the signals were predominantly instructive and not trophic signals. The ...

The central nervous system (CNS) is arguably the most important part of the human body. It includes the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is widely believed to be where all our thought originate. It compares and contrasts. It strings together words and paragraphs. It helps us to understand and communicate with the world around us. Given the complexity of this remarkable organ, it is hardly surprising that we are still uncovering its secrets. One such secret is the important role of astrocytes.. The brain isnt only occupied by neurons. Glial cells are also a local inhabitant. Though long thought to be little more than the neurons sidekicks, we now know that glial cells are a crucial component of CNS operations. Astrocytes are one of four identified glial cells in the CNS. Two additional varieties hang out in the periphery nervous system.. Astrocytes are essential for maintaining homeostasis in the CNS. They also play a role In brain defense and rejuvenation. Their malfunction or retardation ...

In recent literature, lymphokines have been reported to be able to promote both proliferation and maturation of some glial populations. In this paper, we compare the effect of rIL-1 on newborn and adult rat astroglial cells in vitro. In newborn, but not in adult astrocytes, 100 U/ml of rIL-1 beta increase [3H]thymidine incorporation with a maximal response by 3 days as compared to the control untreated culture. In contrast, rIL-1 beta induces an increase of GFAP immunoreactivity both in newborn and in adult astrocytes, as compared to the control untreated cells. These data indicate that, while both newborn and adult astroglial cells are capable of responding to rIL-1 beta, only newborn astrocytes can respond to this lymphokine with proliferation. Thus, it appears likely that different factors, other than rIL-1 beta, are needed by adult astrocytes to proliferate.

Declines in cognitive function are common during aging even in the absence of disease. Increased glial activation and inflammation during normal brain aging are implicated in neuron atrophy which may lead to cognitive impairments. Mechanisms underlying glial activation and their consequences on synaptic plasticity are explored in this thesis.; Macrosialin, a marker for activated for activated microglial cells, increases with age in various brain regions. These age-related increases could be attenuated with caloric restriction. In vitro studies showed that oxidized low density lipoproteins and inflammatory stimuli regulate macrosialin expression.; Apolipoproteins (Apo) E and J increase in several disease models and normal brain aging. However, basal Apo J secretion decreases with age in mixed glial cells originated from neonatal, young, and old animals. ApoE levels did not change significantly. While neonatal mixed glia were unaffected by the inflammatory cytokines, IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha, ...

The neurological mutation weaver is characterized by defects in granule cell migration along Bergmann glial processes and by subsequent death and disposition of granule cells. Immunocytochemical localization of antisera raised against purified glial filament protein (AbGF) and transmission electron microscopy were used to visualize specific associations between granule neurons and astroglia in microcultures of cerebellar cells dissociated from normal (+/+), heterozygous (+/wv), and homozygous (wv/wv) B6CBA-w mouse cerebella. In microcultures of cells dissociated from normal B6CBA-Aw-J-wv (+/+) cerebella, staining with AbGF closely resembled results previously reported for cells taken from C57BL/6J (+/+) tissue. Two forms of stained astroglia were seen, one with a larger perikaryon and shorter processes, among which 12 to 20 unstained cells nestled; and another with a smaller cell soma and longer processes, along which a few unstained cells were seen. The first resembled astrocytes of the ...

Decades of research dedicated towards Alzheimers disease (AD) has culminated in much of the current understanding of the neurodegeneration associated with disease. However, delineating the pathophysiology and finding a possible cure for the disease is still wanting. This is in part due to the lack of knowledge pertaining to the connecting link between neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory pathways. Consequently, the inefficacy and ill-effects of the drugs currently available for AD encourage the need for alternative and safe therapeutic intervention. In this review we highlight the potential of mGluR5, a metabotropic glutamatergic receptor, in understanding the mechanism underlying the neuronal death and neuroinflammation in AD. We also discuss the role of mGlu5 receptor in mediating the neuron-glia interaction in the disease. Finally, we discuss the potential of mGluR5 as target for treating AD.

Glia dont really care about consequences to a neuromatrixs future, Im sure.. they probably gliafully take full advantage of the opportunity nociceptive input creates for them to run out to yet another yard sale and acquire yet more rusty junk with which to decorate their homes&yards... remember, at a cellular level, even though human body cells are pretty cooperative with each other, at a cellular biological level, its all about whose mitochondria can burn up the most oxygen, and produce the most ATP; all those products nociceptors release at both poles when they become overstimulated acts as fertilizer to surrounding DRG and CNS glia cells, be they ectodermal neural crest-derived or pure mesodermal immune-derived. They are known as trophic factors after all... so, from a glial point of view, its probably like winning the lottery or unexpectedly inheriting a bunch of money from an aunt who just died.) ...
