Blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction in acute liver failure (ALF) results in increased BBB permeability that often precludes the patients from obtaining a life-saving liver transplantation. It remains controversial whether matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) from the injured liver contributes to the deregulation of BBB function in ALF. We selectively upregulated a physiologic inhibitor of MMP-9...
Sirtuin1 (Sirt1) and Sirtuin3 (Sirt3) are two well-characterized members of the silent information regulator 2 (Sir2) family of proteins. Both Sirt1 and Sirt3 have been shown to play vital roles in resistance to cellular stress, but the interaction between these two sirtuins has not been fully determined. In this study, we investigated the role of Sirt1-Sirt3 axis in blood-brain barrier (BBB) p...
Transport regulates nutrient availability in the brain, and many pathways of brain amino acid metabolism are influenced by precursor supply. Therefore, amino acid transport through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays an important rate-affecting role in brain metabolism. Information on the Km of BBB amino acid transport provides the quantitative basis for understanding the physiological importan...
BACKGROUND Despite extensive data examining perioperative risk in patients with coronary artery disease, little attention has been devoted to the implications of conduction system abnormalities. OBJECTIVE To define the clinical significance of bundle-branch block (BBB) as a perioperative risk factor. METHODS Retrospective, cohort-controlled study of all noncardiac, nonophthalmologic, adult ...
Insults to the developing brain often result in irreparable damage resulting in long-term deficits in motor and cognitive functions. The only treatment today for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in newborns is hypothermia, which has limited clinical benefit. We have studied changes to the blood-brain barriers (BBB) as well as regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in a neonatal model of HIE t...
The effect of an intravenous bolus of 4.3 ml/kg of 60% meglumine diatrizoate on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) was studied in five adult unanesthetized dogs. Intravenous 3% Evans blue dye (4 ml/kg) was used as an indicator of BBB disruption. The animals were observed for signs of neurotoxicity for 1 hr after contrast-medium injection and then sacrificed. Their brains were removed and sectioned. ...
BACKGROUND Central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis is a serious, often fatal disease that disproportionately affects young children. It is thought to develop when Mycobacterium tuberculosis breaches the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which is composed of tightly apposed brain microvascular endothelial cells. However, the mechanism(s) involved in this process are poorly understood. METHODS To be...
Protection against hypoxia-induced blood-brain barrier disruption: changes in intracellular calcium.
Tissue damage after stroke is partly due to disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Little is known about the role of calcium in modulating BBB disruption. We investigated the effect of hypoxic and aglycemic stress on BBB function and intracellular calcium levels. Bovine brain microvessel endothelial cells were treated with A-23187 to increase intracellular calcium without hypoxia or treat...
In vitro models of the human blood-brain barrier (BBB) are highly desirable for drug development. This study aims to analyze a set of ten different BBB culture models based on primary cells, human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), and multipotent fetal neural stem cells (fNSCs). We systematically investigated the impact of astrocytes, pericytes, and NSCs on hiPSC-derived BBB endothelial ...
In neuroinflammatory disorders such as multiple sclerosis, the physiological function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is perturbed, particularly in demyelinating lesions and supposedly secondary to acute demyelinating pathology. Using the toxic non-inflammatory cuprizone model of demyelination, we demonstrate, however, that the onset of persistent BBB impairment precedes demyelination. In addi...
