119 16926846 In situ hybridization using bfl-1 (microglia) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (astrocytes) revealed expression of both bfl-1 and GFAP in the ipsilateral hemisphere at 4 h in the db/+ mice, which was delayed and minimal in the db/db mice.
120 16926846 RNase protection assays showed a robust increase in expression of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha), interleukin-1 IL-1alpha, and IL-1beta mRNA in the db/+ mice at 6 to 8 h of reperfusion peaking at 8 to 12 h; in db/db mice expression was markedly delayed and diminished.
121 16926846 Real-time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed the reduced and delayed expression TNFalpha, IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, and the growth factors insulin-like growth factor-1 and ciliary neurotrophic factor in the db/db mice; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays confirmed the reduced and delayed translation of IL-1beta protein.
122 16979383 We have identified for the first time an age-dependent spontaneous loss of tolerance to two self-antigenic epitopes derived from putative diabetes-associated antigens glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in RIP-B7/DRB1*0404 HLA transgenic mice.
123 16979383 Diabetic and older non-diabetic mice exhibited a proliferative response to an immunodominant epitope from GAD65 (555-567) and also from GFAP (240-252) but not from an immunogenic epitope from diabetes-associated islet-specific glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit-related protein.
124 16979383 Islet infiltrates in older non-diabetic mice and diabetic mice contain CD4(+)/FoxP3(+) cells and suggest the presence of a regulatory mechanism prior and during diabetic disease.

128 17065343 In an effort to identify novel epitopes, we used matrix-assisted algorithms to predict peptides of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), prepro-islet amyloid polypeptide (ppIAPP), and islet-specific glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit-related protein (IGRP) that likely bind to HLA-A*0201 with a strong affinity and contain a COOH-terminal proteasomal cleavage site.

140 18329889 Ganglioside GM1 effects on the expression of nerve growth factor (NGF), Trk-A receptor, proinflammatory cytokines and on autoimmune diabetes onset in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice.
141 18329889 In the present study, serum, pancreas islets and spleen mononuclear cells from NOD mice treated with monosialic ganglioside GM1 (100 mg/kg/day) and the group control which received saline solution were isolated to investigate the proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta, IFN-gamma, IL-12, TNF-alpha), NGF and its high-affinity receptor TrkA, peri-islet Schwann cells components (GFAP, S100-beta) expression and the relationship with diabetes onset and morphological aspects.
142 18329889 Our results suggest that GM1 administration to female NOD mice beginning at the 4th week of life is able to reduce the index of inflammatory infiltrate and consequently the expression of diabetes, modulating the expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-12, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and IL-1beta).

157 18708122 Astrocyte count, size and shape as well as levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S100b protein were assessed 3, 7 and 14 days after the STZ injection using immunohistochemistry, immuno-enzyme assay and computer-assisted image analysis.
158 18780965 In a C57BL/6 mouse model of obesity and T2DM, we characterized the histopathology, gene expression, and insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-receptor binding in temporal lobe.
159 18780965 These effects were associated with significantly increased levels of tau, IGF-I receptor, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), IRS-4, ubiquitin, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and 4-hydroxynonenol, and decreased expression of beta-actin.
160 18784648 After 11 days, these STZ-diabetic mice showed increased glucocorticoid secretion and hippocampal alterations characterized by: (1) increased glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive astrocytes as a marker reacting to neurodegeneration, (2) increased c-Jun expression marking neuronal activation, (3) reduced Ki-67 immunostaining indicating decreased cell proliferation.
161 19227273 Immunohistochemical (tests for insulin, glucagons, periferin, SNAP-25, GFAP, NGF-R, RMR-22, MBP) and morphological studies were performed to examine the pancreatic nervous apparatus of human adults and fetuses in late phases of development.
162 19227273 The insular endocrine cells are shown to synthesize the proteins (SNAP-25, GFAP) characteristic of nerve cells and their synaptic terminals.

164 19227273 The insular endocrine cells are shown to synthesize the proteins (SNAP-25, GFAP) characteristic of nerve cells and their synaptic terminals.
165 19748503 The expression of GFAP and AQPs 1 and 4 was assessed by immunohistochemistry of cryosections and retinal flatmounts.
166 19784582 Interestingly, the levels of iNOS and GFAP were increased in the gallbladders of cholesterol-fed hamsters.
167 19812959 Immunohistochemical studies, confirmed by Western blot analysis, demonstrated the enhancement of vimentin and GFAP immunoreactivity (IR) in astrocytes located in the perilesion cortical area of the diabetic rats that were operated upon.
168 19861974 In this study, we investigated the actions of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma agonist darglitazone in treating diabetes and promoting recovery after a hypoxic-ischemic (H/I) insult in the diabetic ob/ob mouse.
169 19861974 Microglial and astrocytic activation monitored by cytokine expression (interleukin-1beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha) and in situ hybridization studies (bfl1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein) suggest a biphasic inflammatory response, with darglitazone restoring the compromised proinflammatory response(s) in the diabetic mouse at 4 h but suppressing subsequent inflammatory responses at 8 and 24 h in both control and diabetic mice.
170 19890475 Targets of S100A1 include proteins involved in calcium signaling (ryanidine receptors 1 & 2, Serca2a, phopholamban), neurotransmitter release (synapsins I & II), cytoskeletal and filament associated proteins (CapZ, microtubules, intermediate filaments, tau, mocrofilaments, desmin, tubulin, F-actin, titin, and the glial fibrillary acidic protein GFAP), transcription factors and their regulators (e.g. myoD, p53), enzymes (e.g. aldolase, phosphoglucomutase, malate dehydrogenase, glycogen phosphorylase, photoreceptor guanyl cyclases, adenylate cyclases, glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, twitchin kinase, Ndr kinase, and F1 ATP synthase), and other Ca2+-activated proteins (annexins V & VI, S100B, S100A4, S100P, and other S100 proteins).
171 21652728 Fetal neonatal leptin and insulin deficiency results in reduced hypothalamic axonal pathways regulating appetite, which may predispose to offspring hyperphagia and obesity.
172 21652728 Neural development of the arcuate nucleus, a key target of adiposity signals, leptin and insulin, is immature at birth.
173 21652728 Hence, to explore proximate effects of leptin/insulin on hypothalamic development, we determined trophic and differentiation effects on neural stem/progenitor cells using a model of fetal hypothalamic neurospheres (NS).
174 21652728 NS cultures were produced from embryonic d 20 fetal rats and passage 1 and passage 2 cells examined for proliferation and differentiation into neurons (neuronal nuclei, class IIIβ-tubulin, and doublecortin) and astrocytes (glial fibrillary acidic protein).
175 21652728 Leptin-induced NS proliferation was significantly greater than that induced by insulin, although both effects were blocked by Notch, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, or signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 inhibition.
176 21652728 Leptin preferentially induced neuronal, whereas insulin promoted astrocyte differentiation.
177 21652728 Extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibition suppressed both leptin and insulin-mediated differentiation, whereas signal transducer and activator of transcription inhibition only affected leptin-mediated responses.
178 21652728 Altered fetal exposure to leptin or insulin, resulting from fetal growth restriction, macrosomia, or maternal diabetes, may potentially have marked effects on fetal brain development.
179 21712075 RU486 (mifepristone) ameliorates cognitive dysfunction and reverses the down-regulation of astrocytic N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 in streptozotocin-induced type-1 diabetic rats.
180 21712075 However, the role for chronically elevated glucocorticoids and hippocampal astrocytic activations in DCD remains to be elucidated, and it is not clear whether astrocytic N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2, involved in cell differentiation and development) participated in DCD.
181 21712075 Diabetic rats also presented down-regulation of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, a key indicator of astrocytic reactivity) and NDRG2 in hippocampus revealed by immunohistochemistry staining, real-time PCR and Western blot.
182 21712075 Moreover, the diabetic cognitive impairments were ameliorated by 9-day glucocorticoids receptor (GR) blockade with RU486, and the down-regulation of hippocampal NDRG2 and GFAP in diabetic animals was also attenuated by 9-day GR blockade.

187 22178606 We report here that high glucose (HG) treatment stimulated astrocytic morphological alteration coupled with changes in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin expression.
188 22178606 Additionally, HG upregulated the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF); however, its effects on transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) expression were not evident.
189 22178606 HG treatment induced increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as activation of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and signal transducer and activator transcription 3 (STAT 3).
190 22178606 HG-induced expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-4, and VEGF was blocked by ROS scavenger and inhibitors specific for NF-κB and STAT 3, respectively.
191 22202163 Unlike activin A, CnP inhibited activation of cultured stellate cells and reduced the production of collagen.
192 22202163 In pancreatic sections obtained from 6-wk-old GK rats, CD68-positive macrophages and glial fibrillary acidic protein- and α-smooth muscle actin-positive stellate cells infiltrated into islets.
193 22554865 Retinal function (electroretinogram, ERG) and morphology (optical microscopy), retinal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity (using (3)H-arginine), lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, TBARS), and TNFα levels (ELISA) were evaluated.
194 22554865 At 12 weeks of treatment, a significant decrease in the ERG a- and b- wave and oscillatory potential amplitudes, and a significant increase in retinal NOS activity, TBARS, TNFα, glial fibrillary acidic protein in Müller cells, and vascular endothelial growth factor levels were observed.

196 22711212 We examined the effect of Ang-(1-7) on the number of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) immunoreactive neurons and the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-immunoreactive astrocytes and assessed the changes in the neuronal growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) of the hippocampal formation in streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats.
197 22711212 Ang-(1-7) treatment significantly prevented diabetes-induced decrease in the number of GFAP immunoreactive astrocytes and GAP-43 positive neurons in all hippocampal regions.

204 22891211 Compared with vehicle-treated DBA/STZ/WD mice, GW3965 treated mice showed fewer acellular capillaries and reduced GFAP expression.
205 22946773 Melatonin, which did not affect glucose metabolism in control or diabetic rats, prevented the decrease in the electroretinogram a-wave, b-wave, and oscillatory potential amplitude, and the increase in retinal lipid peroxidation, NOS activity, TNFα, Müller cells glial fibrillary acidic protein, and vascular endothelial growth factor levels.
206 23153579 Ischemic pulses reduced the decrease in the electroretinogram a-wave, b-wave, and oscillatory potential amplitude, and the increase in retinal lipid peroxidation, NOS activity, TNFα, Müller cells glial fibrillary acidic protein, and vascular endothelial growth factor levels observed in diabetic animals.
207 23376836 The Hsp treatment (100 mg/kg body weight) was carried for twenty four weeks in STZ-induced diabetic rats and evaluated for antioxidant (Superoxide dismutase; SOD, Catalase; CAT and glutathione; GSH) enzymes, inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β), caspase-3, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and aquaporin-4(AQP4) expression.
208 23376836 Diabetic retinae showed increased caspase-3, GFAP and AQP4 expression.
209 23376836 However, Hsp-treated retinae showed inhibitory effect on caspase-3, GFAP and AQP4 expression.
210 23376836 The Hsp treatment (100 mg/kg body weight) was carried for twenty four weeks in STZ-induced diabetic rats and evaluated for antioxidant (Superoxide dismutase; SOD, Catalase; CAT and glutathione; GSH) enzymes, inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β), caspase-3, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and aquaporin-4(AQP4) expression.
211 23376836 Diabetic retinae showed increased caspase-3, GFAP and AQP4 expression.
212 23376836 However, Hsp-treated retinae showed inhibitory effect on caspase-3, GFAP and AQP4 expression.

216 23536314 Immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting demonstrated that cilostazol treatment reduced GFAP and VEGF expression in the retinas of OLETF rats.
217 23545209 Similar findings were found in the hippocampus, where an increased number of GFAP immunoreactive astrocytes were detected in the CA1 and CA3 subfields and dentate gyrus of OZRs compared to the LZRs.
218 23584706 Our immunohistochemistry approach has shown that the insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1), protein kinase B (PKB) and insulin-sensitive glucose transporter (GLUT4) are expressed in the sensory epithelium of the human saccule, which also exhibits expression of a calcium-sensitive cAMP/cGMP phosphodiesterase 1C (PDE1C) and the vasopressin type 2 receptor.
219 23584706 IRS1 and PDE1C are selectively expressed in sensory epithelial hair cells, whereas the other components are expressed in sensory epithelial supporting cells or in both cell types, as judged from co-expression or non-co-expression with glial fibrillary acidic protein, a marker for supporting cells.
220 23584706 Furthermore, IRS1 appears to be localized in association with sensory nerves, whereas GLUT4 is expressed in the peri-nuclear area of stromal cells, as is the case for aquaporin 2.

230 23726157 Diabetes and obesity were monitored in C57Bl/6J mice fed a 72% high-fat diet, and duodenal glial expression patterns were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR for S100β, Sox10 and GFAP proteins and transcripts, as well as transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
231 16868181 We have demonstrated, in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes, that mechanical hyperalgesia, a common symptom of diabetic neuropathy, was correlated with an early increase in extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion at 3 weeks after induction of diabetes.
232 16868181 In diabetic hyperalgesic rats, immunocytochemistry revealed that all phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) colocalized with both the neuronal (NeuN) and microglial (OX42) cell-specific markers but not with the astrocyte marker [glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)] in the superficial dorsal horn-laminae of the spinal cord.
233 16868181 In these same rats, a 7-day administration [5 microg/rat/day, intrathecal (i.t.)] of 1,4-diamino-2,3-dicyano-1,4-bis(2-aminophenylthio)butadiene (U0126), 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-methylsulfinylphenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)1H-imidazole (SB203580), and anthra(1,9-cd)pyrazol-6(2H)-one (SP600125), which inhibited MAPK kinase, p38, and JNK, respectively, suppressed mechanical hyperalgesia, and decreased phosphorylation of the kinases.
