Aquaporins: relevance to cerebrospinal fluid physiology and therapeutic potential in hydrocephalus

Cerebrospinal Fluid Research, 2010
The discovery of a family of membrane water channel proteins called aquaporins, and the finding that aquaporin 1 was located in the choroid plexus, has prompted interest in the role of aquaporins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production and consequently ...

Astrocytic aquaporin 4 subcellular translocation as a therapeutic target for cytotoxic edema in ischemic stroke

, 2022
Brain edema is a common feature of several brain diseases (e.g., stroke, traumatic brain injury, hydrocephalus, brain cancer, and brain infections). Brain edema leads to increased intracranial pressure and worsens outcomes in ischemic stroke patients ...

Cerebrospinal fluid aquaporin-4-immunoglobulin G disrupts blood brain barrier [PDF]

, 2015
To clarify the significance of immunoglobulin G autoantibody specific for the astrocyte water channel aquaporin-4 in cerebrospinal fluid, aquaporin-4-immunoglobulin G from a neuromyelitis optica patient was administered intrathecally to naïve mice, and ...

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated
