Overexpression of nestin and vimentin in ependymal cells in hydrocephalus.

Abstract:

:In order to elucidate the immunohistochemical features of hydrocephalic ependyma, immunohistochemical examination was undertaken in 11 normal, postmortem brains (age range, 11 weeks' postconception to 6 months after birth) and 12 hydrocephalic brains (three cases each of congenital aqueductal stenosis, Dandy-Walker malformation, Arnold-Chiari type II malformation and posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus) by using antisera to nestin, vimentin and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). In normal brains, nestin was predominantly expressed in neuroepithelial cells and radial glial fibers during the period of neuronal migration. Vimentin immunoreactivity was principally detected in immature ependymal cells and their basal fibers after the period of neuronal migration, then partly replaced by GFAP reactivity during late gestation. In hydrocephalus, the areas of ependymal disruption were covered with nestin- or vimentin-positive cells. Nestin and vimentin were also expressed in immature ependymal cells or their basal processes in anatomical regions such as the roof or floor plate of the fourth ventricle or the cerebral aqueduct, and the ventral part of the third ventricle. These results suggest that the overexpression of nestin and vimentin in hydrocephalus follows two patterns: a reactive pattern of proliferating immature glial cells associated with ependymal cell loss and an abnormal developmental pattern of immunopositivity associated with anatomical regions in the midline mesencephalon.

  • Aristaless-related homeobox gene disruption leads to abnormal distribution of GABAergic interneurons in human neocortex: evidence based on a case of X-linked lissencephaly with abnormal genitalia (XLAG).
