Subtype-specific increase of GFAP expression in the DG of MTLE patients occurs independently of changes in total astrocyte numbers. (A-D) Representative GFAP immunofluorescent images from (A) Ctrl, (B) HS1, (C) HS2, and (D) noHS cases reveal altered morphology and intensity of marker expression across the DG layers and among the patient cohorts. (E) Quantification of GFAP signal intensity using standardized rectangular regions of interest (ROIs) spanning from the ML to the PL (600 x 50 um). (human (postmortem dentate gyrus, control and MTLE patients); FIGURE 2.)

Localization of GLAST and GFAP in human neonatal cortex. (A–C) Representative immunofluorescence images from human neonatal cortex from control, HI-NT (normothermia), and HI-HT (hypothermia) cases. Low magnification images show GFAP-positive astrocytes (red) and GLAST-positive astrocytes (green) distributed in layers of the cortex. GFAP is the canonical astrocyte marker; GLAST is a glutamate transporter enriched in astrocytes. Scale bar 200 μm. (Homo sapiens; Figure 2.)

Representative epifluorescence and confocal images of longitudinal sections of spinal cord dorsal horn in healthy horses. The sections were double immune-labeled against GFAP (green), Cx-43 (red) and DAPI (blue) to detect astrocytes, and double immune-labeled against GFAP (green), Iba-1 (red) and DAPI (blue) to detect astrocytes and microglial cells. (horse; Figure 2.)

Electron microscopy of astrocyte culture (DIV 25), obtained from cell material from a healthy donor: (a) overview of the culture; dividing cells are seen (yellow arrow); (b) a typical cell nucleus with an eccentrically located nucleolus (yellow arrow) and shallow invaginations (red arrow); (c) different ratios of cytoskeletal elements and organelles in the cell: an area with a lower number of intermediate filaments and a higher number of polysomes and mitochondria (yellow star) and an area with a higher number of intermediate filaments and a lower number of organelles (red star); (d) mitochondria with regular cristae and areas of clearing and swelling (yellow arrows); (e) small round mitochondria aggregated in the perinuclear area of the cytoplasm; M - mitochondria, N - nucleus; (f) the protein-synthesizing apparatus is represented by polysomes (yellow arrow) and several short cisterns of the granular endoplasmic reticulum (red arrow) (human; Figure 2.)
