Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the major constituent of glial filaments and is restricted within the CNS to astrocytes. As with other classes of intermediate filament proteins, the regulation of GFAP expression is poorly understood. Utilizing highly purified cultures of astrocytes and a c

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) increases in astrocytes following axotomy of facial motoneurons. In the present study we quantified GFAP synthesis both in regenerating facial nuclei after nerve crush and in nonregenerating facial nuclei after nerve resection. An increase in GFAP synthesis dur
N6-O'2-dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP), N6-monobutyryl cAMP (N6-mbcAMP), 8-Chloro cAMP (ClcAMP), and O'2-monobutyryl cAMP (O'2-mbcAMP) were used to study glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) induction in rat C6 glioma. With the exception of O'2-mbcAMP, these cAMP analogs induced GFAP after stimulation of
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is expressed upon cAMPβmediated induction of differentiation of glial progenitor cells into type II astrocytes. The protein is regulated by hormones, growth factors and cytokines but the signal transduction pathways involved in the regulation of GFAP expression
Astrocytes play a predominant role in energy metabolism and in the catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate, neurotransmitters critically involved in epileptic processes. We show specific astrocytic alterations in the genetic absence epilepsy rats from Strasbourg (GAERS). Spontaneo
## Abstract Ageβrelated increases in the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in many brain regions are observed in shortβ and longβlived mammals. Possible genomic mechanisms for the increase of GFAP mRNA and protein were studied in the hippocampus and cortex of male F344 rats and a
