The aim of this study was to determinethe Na, K-ATPase β subunit isoform subcellular expression patterns in all cell types responsible formicroenvironment heterogeneity of GBM using immunohistochemical analysis. All three isoforms,β1, β2/AMOG (Adhesion Molecule On Glia) and β3, were found to be expressed in GBM samples.Generally, β1 isoform was not expressed by astrocytes, in both primary and secondary GBM,although other cell types (endothelial cells, pericytes, telocytes, macrophages) did express thisisoform. β2/AMOG and β3 positive expression was observed in the cytoplasm, membrane andnuclear envelope of astrocytes and GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein) negative cells. Interestingly,differences in isoforms expression have been observed between primary and secondary GBM:in secondary GBM, β2 isoform expression in astrocytes was lower than that observed in primaryGBM, while the expression of the β3 subunit was more intense. These changes in β subunit isoformsexpression in GBM could be related to a different ionic handling, to a different relationship betweenastrocyte and neuron (β2/AMOG) and to changes in the moonlighting roles of Na, K-ATPase βsubunits as adaptor proteins and transcription factors YR 2017 FD 2017 LK http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/40036 UL http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/40036 LA en DS Repositorio institucional de la Universidad de La Laguna RD 28-nov-2024
