Prospective study of glial markers in the diagnosis and the prognosis in multiple sclerosis and alliged disorders

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is thought as an autoimmune disease against aquaporin 4, predominantly localized in astrocytic foot processes. We showed that the staining of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) was lost in the NMO lesions lacking AQP4 immunoreactivity and we could see the marked damaging value in cerebrospinal fluid GFAP assay. Recently, in NMO as well as multiple sclerosis (MS), the astrocyte is considered as a key component in demyelinating processes. However, there is no adequate study to reveal the astrocyte damage in heterogeneous demyelinating diseases.
