Nestin is a type VI intermediate filament and is expressed in early embryonic neuroepithelial stem cells during CNS development (1). The protein is downregulated and replaced by other tissue specific intermediate filaments during differentiation (2). Antibodies against Nestin can be employed as predominant markers for stem and progenitor cells in the mammalian CNS.
During neuroinflammation and ischemia, Nestin is upregulated in different CNS cell types (2).
Expression has also been reported for proliferative endothelial cells of various tissues like newly formed blood vessels in brain (3), glomeruli of kidney (4) and skin (5). Moreover, Nestin has garnered significant attention in oncology, as its re-expression is associated with various cancers, including glioblastomas and melanomas (6).
