Midkine exists in astrocytes in the early stage of cerebral infarction
1998
Abstract Midkine (MK), a heparin-binding neurotrophic factor, is expressed in the early stage of experimental cerebral infarction in the zone surrounding the infarct. Double immunostaining with anti-MK and anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein showed existence of MK in astrocytic cytoplasm on postoperative day 2. Immunoelectron microscopic analysis revealed the presence of MK in the swollen astrocytic processes on postoperative day 4. Thus, MK was localized in astrocytes upon cerebral infarction.
