Figure 1.12 Schema of EGF stimulation of astrocyte proliferation and dedifferentiation into neuroblasts. Prolonged exposure to EGF causes astrocytes (taken as representative of neuroglial cells) to proliferate rapidly. It also causes them to lose their neuroglial characteristics, as shown by the decline in the activity of their specific marker enzymes simultaneously, they will also reduce growth rate to control levels. They will eventually acquire precursor cell characteristics to become neuroblasts and neurons. Some of the proliferating astrocytic cells will maintain their characteristics, migrate to their usual location, and fulfill their usual functions.4748 (From Timiras, PS. et al., Mech.

Microglia-derived interleukins have been shown to have effects on microglia and other glial cell types. IL-1 is a pluripotent and multifunctional molecule that mediates lymphocyte activation, fibroblast proliferation, and endogenous pyrogen-esis.77 Following treatment with IL-1, cultured astrocytes proliferate, indicating that...
