Abstract:
:Nestin is a cytoskeletal protein expressed by neural stem cells, and by immature neurons and glial cells. In an effort to explore the potential of the infant brain for repair and plasticity, we immunohistochemically studied nestin expression in the human cerebral cortex of control subjects and of patients with periventricular leukomalacia. During normal development, nestin immunoreactivity of the cortical gray and white matter was detectable throughout the fetal period, and disappeared around birth. In brain with periventricular leukomalacia, nestin expression was altered in a time- and space-dependent manner. In the cortical gray matter, neuronal immunoreactivity was often reduced in the subacute stage, but was increased in chronic and remote stages. In the white matter near a lesion of periventricular leukomalacia, glial immunoreactivity was increased in all stages. In many cases, neurons and axons far from a lesion also showed an altered expression of nestin. These findings indicate that in brain with periventricular leukomalacia, neurons and glial cells may recapitulate nestin expression in response to ischemic brain injury, suggesting functional relevance in repair and plasticity.
