Aquaporin‐4 and epilepsy

Glia, 2012
AbstractRecent studies have implicated glial cells in modulation of synaptic transmission, so it is plausible that glial cells may have a functional role in the hyperexcitability characteristic of epilepsy. Indeed, alterations in distinct astrocyte membrane channels, receptors, and transporters have all been associated with the epileptic state.

Aquaporins, anti-aquaporin-4 autoantibodies and neuromyelitis optica

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2013
The classification, distribution and functions of the different molecules of aquaporins (AQPs), including aquaporins, aquaglyceroporins and superaquaporins are reviewed together with their potential diagnostic and therapeutic uses. We analyzed the pathogenic importance of anti-AQP4 autoantibodies in neuromyelitis optica and related syndromes, as well ...

The role of aquaporin 4 in the brain

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2012
Abstract:Emerging evidence suggests that aquaporin (AQP) 4 water channels play an important role in water homeostasis in the brain. These water channels are most abundant in the cell membrane of astrocytes, but are also present within ependymal cell membranes and in osmosensory areas of the hypothalamus.

Hydrocephalus and Aquaporins: The Role of Aquaporin-4

2011
Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane proteins that facilitate water and small solute movement in tissues. Hydrocephalus is the major central nervous system disorder associated with defective cerebrospinal fluid turnover. Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water channel located mainly at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) interfaces and is

Aquaporin-4 and Alzheimer’s Disease

Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2016
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. Although the pathogenesis of AD remains unclear, AD is thought to result from an imbalance in the production and clearance of amyloid-β protein (Aβ). Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is the major aquaporin in the mammalian brain, is mostly expressed on astrocytic endfeet, and functions as a water ...

Aquaporin-4 in hepatic encephalopathy

Metabolic Brain Disease, 2007
Brain edema is a critical component of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) associated with acute liver failure and such edema appears to be principally due to astrocyte swelling (cytotoxic edema). Ammonia is believed to represent a major factor responsible for astrocyte swelling, although the mechanisms by which ammonia causes such swelling are not completely ...

Renal expression and functions of aquaporin 1 and aquaporin 4 in cattle

Biotechnic & Histochemistry, 2013
Aquaporin (AQP) 1 and AQP 4 are members of the aquaporin water channel family that play an important role in reabsorption of water from the renal tubular fluid to concentrate urine. Studies of renal AQPs have been performed in human, rodents, sheep, dogs and horses.

Aquaporins in skeletal muscle: reassessment of the functional role of aquaporin‐4

The FASEB Journal, 2004
ABSTRACT Aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) is the major water channel of the neuromuscular system, but its physiological function in both perivascular astrocytes and skeletal muscle sarcolemma is unclear. The purpose of this study was to assess the following in skeletal muscle: a) the expression of all cloned water cannels; b ...

Aquaporin-4 autoantibodies cause asymptomatic aquaporin-4 loss and activate astrocytes in mouse

Journal of Neuroimmunology, 2012
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disorder. Up to 90% of patients are seropositive for aquaporin-4 autoantibodies (AQP4 Ab). The pathogenetic mechanisms underlying clinical onset and relapse of NMO are uncertain.Study the pathogenicity of AQP4 Ab in the absence of complement activation.Female C57BL/6N ...
