Aquaporin-4 autoimmune syndrome and anti-aquaporin-4 antibody-negative opticospinal multiple sclerosis in Japanese

Multiple Sclerosis Journal, 2009
Background Antibodies to aquaporin-4 (AQP4) are found in a fraction of Japanese opticospinal multiple sclerosis (OSMS) patients. However, it remains unknown whether anti-AQP4 antibody-positive and negative OSMS patients possess an identical disease.

Expression and localization of aquaporin-4 in sensory ganglia

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2014
Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water channel protein that is predominantly expressed in astrocytes in the CNS. The rapid water flux through AQP4 may contribute to electrolyte/water homeostasis and may support neuronal activities in the CNS. On the other hand, little is known about the expression of AQP4 in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

Genetic analysis of aquaporin-4 in neuromyelitis optica

Neurology, 2011
Autoantibodies to aquaporin-4 (AQP4) are specific and pathogenic for neuromyelitis optica (NMO). Therefore, we evaluated whether AQP4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with susceptibility to NMO or whether mutations that potentially alter AQP4 structure or expression are present in some patients.We genotyped 8 AQP4 SNPs chosen based

The Potential Roles of Aquaporin 4 in Alzheimer’s Disease

Molecular Neurobiology, 2015
Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) is the major water channel expressed in the central nervous system (CNS), and it is primarily expressed in astrocytes. It has been studied in various brain pathological conditions. However, the potential for AQP4 to influence Alzheimer's disease (AD) is still unclear. Research regarding AQP4 functions related to AD can be traced back
