Autoimmune GFAP Astrocytopathy is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system of the patient attacks a protein of the nervous system called glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). It was described in 2016 by researchers of the Mayo Clinic in the United States. GFAP is an intermediate filament (IF) protein that is expressed by numerous cell types of the central nervous system (CNS) including astrocytes. The destruction of astrocytes can lead to the development of a glial scar.

  • L'astrocitopatia GFAP autoimmune és una malaltia autoimmunitària en què el sistema immune dels pacients ataca una proteïna del sistema nerviós anomenada (GFAP). Va ser descrita per primera vegada l'any 2016 per investigadors de la Clínica Mayo dels Estats Units. La GFAP és una proteïna de filament intermedi que és expressada de forma nombrosa en el sistema nerviós central (CNS), incloent-hi els astròcits. La destrucció d'astròcits pot dirigir al desenvolupament d'una . Hi ha múltiples desordres associats amb un control de GFAP impropi, i la cicatrització de la és una conseqüència de diverses condicions neurodegeneratives. La cicatriu és formada pels astròcits que interaccionen amb teixit fibrós per a restablir els marges de la glia al voltant del nucli de la lesió central i és parcialment causat pel creixement excessiu de GFAP.

It was described in 2016 by researchers of the Mayo Clinic in the United States. GFAP is an intermediate filament (IF) protein that is expressed by numerous cell types of the central nervous system (CNS) including astrocytes. The destruction of astrocytes can lead to the development of a glial scar. There are multiple disorders associated with improper GFAP regulation and glial scarring is a consequence of several neurodegenerative conditions. The scar is formed by astrocytes interacting with fibrous tissue to re-establish the glial margins around the central injury core and is partially caused by up-regulation of GFAP. (en)
