2. Expression Pattern of Aquaporins (AQPS) in the Healthy Spinal Cord
2.水通道蛋白(AQPS)在健康脊髓中的表達模式
Essentially, AQP1 expression at cervical, thoracic and lumbar level of the spinal cord
posesses a very uniform pattern.
AQP1在脊髓的頸部,胸部和腰部水平表達呈現非常均勻的模式。
AQP4 labeling has been found in astrocytes of the white and gray matter along
the whole spinal cord (Figure 2A).
在整個脊髓中的白色和灰質的星形膠質細胞中發現了AQP4標記(圖2A)。
Posttraumatic syringomyelia is frequently a consequence of major and minor spinal cord
injury manifested by the accumulation of CSF or fluid of different origin in cysts within
the spinal cord (known as syrinxes) [91,92].
創傷後脊髓空洞症通常是主要和輕微脊髓損傷的結果,表現為脊髓內囊腫(稱為syrinxes)
中CSF或不同來源的液體積聚[91,92]。
A study by Hemley et al. [93] has shown a relation between the increase of
astrocytic AQP4 expression and the persistence of syrinxes in a rat model of
posttraumatic syringomyelia where a significant up-regulation of AQP4
[93]已顯示創傷後脊髓空洞症大鼠模型中星形膠質細胞AQP4表達增加
