Astrócitos imunorreativos à proteína glial fibrilar ácida (GFAP) em sistema nervoso central de equinos normais e de equinos com leucoencefalomalácia

Abstract: A proteína glial fibrilar ácida (GFAP), subunidade dos filamentos intermediários do citoesqueleto celular, está presente no citoplasma de astrócitos. Técnicas imunohistoquímicas com anticorpos primários anti-GFAP são geralmente empregadas para identificar astrócitos no sistema nervoso, permitindo verificar também sua hipertrofia. Vários estudos mostram a distribuição, a morfologia e a citoarquitetura de astrócitos em várias regiões do SNC do homem e de animais de laboratório. No entanto, em animais domésticos … Show more

“…In this study, normal astrocytes (grade 0) appeared as staining in a range of 0 to 30 astrocytes/×200 magnification that were well-ramified with minimal contact between cells and tightly connected with blood vessels as also described in the spinal cord of horses by Meneses et al (27) and in fibrous astrocytes from the cerebral cortex in control horses from Regina et al (28). Studies in other animal species describe a similar morphology in non-altered CNS of dogs (29), mice (30), and rats (31), but cattle have a higher number of GFAP+ cells and nonaltered astrocytes approximate morphologically to our grade 1 for horses (32).…”

“…With this configuration, suggested parasitic infections like those displayed by horses 1, 9, 18, 19, 20, and 22 are supported by the findings demonstrated in mice experimentally infected with Toxocara canis (47,48) and pigs with neurocysticercosis (49). On the other hand, Lemos and Alessi (28) found that astrocytes from horses suffering from leucoencephalomalacia displayed morphological alterations compatible with our grade 2, but with fewer GFAP+ cells. These findings justify the importance to address morphological and quantitative alterations of astrocytes in different pathological settings.…”

“…Therefore, the toxicity analysis of the two drugs took rat astrocytes as the object. In addition, rat astrocytes express a large amount of GFAP protein, while other cells of the nervous system do not express this protein [46, 49, 50]. Thus, whether GFAP protein was expressed or not could be used for the purity identification of astrocytes.…”

“…Em resposta a uma injúria, há uma complexa resposta celular imune, envolvendo astrócitos e micróglia (Lemos, 1995;Vasconcelos et al, 2004). Os astrócitos aumentam em número (processo de proliferação) e em volume celular (hipertrofia), localmente e ao redor dos sítios de injúria, por mitoses, ocupando áreas lesadas, sendo o principal componente do processo cicatricial (Moriarty e Borgens, 2001).…”
