Astrocytes increase in glial fibrillary acidic protein during retrograde changes of facial motor neurons

Journal of Neurocytology

Abstract

Concomitant with the proliferation of satellite microglial cells occurring in the process of motor neuron regeneration, an astrocytic hypertrophy is also seen. A remarkable increase of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunoreactivity is demonstrated in astrocytes of the facial nucleus within a few days following nerve transection. The increase of GFAP antigenicity is associated with an increased appearance of glial filaments and astrocytic processes. We suggest that resident protoplasmic astrocytes become involved in retrograde changes in facial motor neurons and transform into reactive astrocytes. They are of the fibrous type and highly positive for GFAP.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.
