Based on their relative distance from sites of CNS injury or disease and the severity of insult, astrocytes and other glial cells characteristically become “reactive”. Reactive astrocytes are phenotypically different from mature protoplasmic or fibrous astrocytes that reside in normal, healthy tissue. During the process of reactive astrogliosis, mature astrocytes undergo dramatic changes in gene and protein expression that beget changes in morphology (hypertrophy) and cell cycle status (Fig 1). Proliferating reactive astrocytes in close proximity to damaged/dying cells carry out key functions that include neuroprotection, preservation/re-establishment of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), regulation of immune cell responses, and glial scar formation [1]. Importantly, mechanistic understanding and mapping of the signaling network that controls reactive astrogliosis has great potential to elucidate therapeutic targets and inform the development of new treatments to promote recovery and improve outcomes in patients with CNS injury or disease.Multiple proteins/peptides commonly released during CNS injury have been shown to stimulate reactive astrocyte proliferation such as epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and endothelin (ET-1). Other cytokines/growth factors, molecules, and conditions known to trigger reactive astrogliosis include (but are not limited to): IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, LIF, CNTF, BMP, TGF-β, TNF-α, INF-γ, lipopolysaccharide, glutamate, adenosine triphosphate, nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species, and hypoxia and glucose deprivation during tissue ischemia [1]. Although numerous signals released or produced during CNS injury have been shown to stimulate reactive astrocytes in culture, the complex signaling network that regulates reactive astrocyte proliferation and function (s) in vivo remains poorly understood.
