Abstract

The present paper provides novel findings on the temporo-spatial correlation of perivascular laminin immunoreactivity with the early postnatal astrocyte development. The cerebrovascular laminin immunoreactivity gradually disappears during development. The fusion of the glial and vascular basal laminae during development makes the laminin epitopes inaccessible for antibody molecules (Krum et al., 1991, Exp Neurol 111:151). The fusion is supposed to correlate with the maturation of the glio-vascular connections. Glial development was followed by immunostaining for GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein), S100 protein, glutamine synthetase as glial markers and for nestin to visualize the immature glial structures. Our investigation focused on the period from postnatal day (P)2 to P16, on the dorso-parietal pallium. In the wall of the telencephalon the laminin immunoreactivity disappeared between P5 and P10; in subcortical structures it persisted to P12 or even to P16. Its disappearance overlapped the period when GFAP-immunopositive astrocytes were taking the place of radial glia. Despite the parallel time courses, however, the spatial patterns of the two processes were just the opposite: disappearance of the laminin immunoreactivit...Continue Reading

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.
