Objectives: Perinatal inflammation affects brain development and has long-term consequences. The permeability of the developing blood-brain barrier (BBB) of neonates has not been characterized such that treatment of brain damage using anti-inflammatory drugs is limited. So far, most of the animal studies testing the efficiency of neuroprotective drugs used invasive (e.g., intracerebral) injecti...
Cerebral microvascular endothelial cells form the anatomical basis of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and the tight junctions of the BBB are critical for maintaining brain homeostasis and low permeability. Ischemia/reperfusion is known to damage the tight junctions of BBB and lead to permeability changes. Here we investigated the protective role of 3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzylindazole ...
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...
Previous studies have shown that the glycoprotein orosomucoid modulates permeability of peripheral microvessels to charged molecules by contributing to the net charge on the microvessel wall. To investigate whether or not orosomucoid also modulates the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by a similar mechanism, we measured the permeability (P) of rat pial microvessels to similar-sized...
Background & Aims: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown and nitric oxide (NO) overproduction following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion extensively happens in the subcortical regions (core areas). Hence, we assessed the effects of NO inhibition by L-NAME on transcription of the transmembrane proteins claudin-3 and 12, with key role in BBB structure, at subcortical areas following cerebral ischemia-...
Background: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays the crucial role of limiting exposure of the central nervous system (CNS) to damaging molecules and cells. Dysfunction of the BBB is critical in a broad range of CNS disorders including neurodegeneration, inflammatory or traumatic injury to the CNS, and stroke. In peripheral tissues, the vascular-tissue permeability is normally greater than BBB pe...
The aim of the present study was to develop a blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability model that is applicable in the drug discovery phase. The BBB ensures proper neural function, but it restricts many drugs from entering the brain, and this complicates the development of new drugs against central nervous system diseases. Many in vitro models have been developed to predict BBB permeability, but ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endocannabinoids alter permeability at various epithelial barriers, and cannabinoid receptors and endocannabinoid levels are elevated by stroke, with potential neuroprotective effects. We therefore explored the role of endocannabinoids in modulating blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability in normal conditions and in an ischaemia/reperfusion model. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH H...
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus causes severe encephalitis with serious sequelae in humans. The disease is characterized by fever and debilitating encephalitis that can progress to chronic illness or fatal infection. In this study, changes in permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in two susceptible animal models (BALB/c, and C57Bl/6 mice) infected with TBE virus were investigated at...
The intracarotid infusion of the antineoplastic compound etoposide enhances blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. In a rat model system, the functional reversibility and anatomic sequelae of etoposide induced BBB disruption were investigated. Etoposide, in a dose range from 3.0 to 22.5 mg/kg, was infused into the left internal carotid artery of Sprague-Dawley rats. BBB disruption was evaluate...
