Figure 2

A model for the roles of activated astrocytes, activated microglia, and S100B in delayed infarct expansion after focal cerebral ischemia. The glial cytokine cycle is represented by dotted lines. Abbreviations used: COX-2: cyclooxygenase-2; : extracellular glutamate; GLAST: glutamate/aspartate transporter; GLT-1: glutamate transporter subtype 1; GSH: glutathione; IL-1 : interleukin-1 ; IL-6: interleukin-6; iNOS: inducible nitric oxide synthase; NF- B: nuclear factor- B; NO: nitric oxide; TNF- : tumor necrosis factor- ; RAGE: receptor for advanced glycation endproducts; ROS: reactive oxygen species.
