Abstract
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an intermediate filament (IF) protein expressed in specific types of glial cells in the nervous system. The expression of GFAP is highly regulated during brain development and in neurological diseases. The presence of distinct GFAP-isoforms in various cell types, developmental stages, and diseases indicates that GFAP (post-)transcriptional regulation has a role in glial cell physiology and pathology. GFAP-isoforms differ in sub-cellular localisation, IF-network assembly properties, and IF-dynamics which results in distinct molecular interactions and mechanical properties of the IF-network. Therefore, GFAP (post-)transcriptional regulation is likely a mechanism by which radial glia, astrocytes, and glioma cells can modulate cellular function.
神经胶质纤维酸性蛋白（GFAP）是一种在神经系统特定类型胶质细胞中表达的中间丝（IF）蛋白。在大脑发育和神经系统疾病中，GFAP 的表达受到高度调控。在各种细胞类型、发育阶段和疾病中存在不同的 GFAP-异构体，这表明 GFAP（转录后）调控在神经胶质细胞的生理和病理中发挥作用。GFAP 异构体在亚细胞定位、IF 网络组装特性和 IF 动力学方面存在差异，这导致了 IF 网络不同的分子相互作用和机械特性。因此，GFAP（转录后）调控可能是放射胶质细胞、星形胶质细胞和胶质瘤细胞调节细胞功能的一种机制。
