Results show that clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9-mediated SOX9 knockout not only inhibitedglial fibrillary acidic protein expression in rat Muller cells but also attenuated cell migration ability. These results suggest that inhibition of SOX9 activity may be a novel therapeutic strategy for reduction of glial cell activity.

The present study found that social isolation during adolescence resulted in abnormal locomotor, emotional and cognitive behaviors and increased the expression of GFAP, ANXA2 and VIM in PFC of adult rats

GFAP-positive structures were present and exhibited a tendency to become linear on both sides, with an increased density on the left. NFAP-positive expression was present in the left treated limb with a disorganized pattern

We found that GFAP exhibited enhanced stability upon the addition of two equivalents of each ligands with ceftriaxone imparting a more spontaneous interactions and a more ordered complex system than phenytoin

Upon ependymal stem cells differentiation, Cx50 expression favors glial cell fate, since higher expression levels, endogenous or by over-expression of Cx50, augmented the expression of the astrocyte marker GFAP and impaired the neuronal marker Tuj1.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
