Disease relevance of Nes

 

High impact information on Nes

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Nes

  • Nestin/bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-negative A1 astrocytes were found further than approximately 100 microm from the stab wound and showed an upregulation of K(IR) currents within the first day post-injury (PI), correlating with an increased resting [K+]e. Their number declined from 62% of total astrocytes in control rats to 41% in rats at 7 days PI [9].
  • Expression of nestin in the hippocampal formation of rats submitted to the pilocarpine model of epilepsy [10].
  • In summary, there is an induction of neuropoietic activity in a rat intracranial glioma model that results in an infiltration and accumulation of abnormal nestin and GFAP expressing cells with proliferative potential along the dorsal and medial border of intracranial C6 glioma [11].
  • It was found that experimental epilepsy or pinealectomy procedure enhanced nestin immunoreactivity, but exogenous melatonin treatment (30 microg/100 g body weight, i.p.) following pinealectomy inhibited increased nestin expression induced by melatonin deprival in vermis region of newborn rat cerebellum (P < 0.001) [12].
