A Novel Brain Neurovascular Unit Model with Neurons, Astrocytes and Microvascular Endothelial Cells of Rat
A novel triple cell neurovascular unit (NVU) model co-culturing with neurons, brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) and astrocytes was established in this study for investigating the cerebral diseases and screening the candidates of therapeutic drug. We have first performed the cell identification and morphological characterization, analyzed the specific protein expression and determine...
متن کاملEffects of Surface Viscoelasticity on Cellular Responses of Endothelial Cells
Background: One area of nanoscience deals with nanoscopic interactions between nanostructured materials and biological systems. To elucidate the effects of the substrate surface morphology and viscoelasticity on cell proliferation, fractal analysis was performed on endothelial cells cultured on nanocomposite samples based on silicone rubber (SR) and various concentrations of organomodified nano...
متن کاملCalcium signaling in and between brain astrocytes and endothelial cells.
Two in vitro co-culture models of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) were developed using primary rat cortical astrocytes and ECV304 endothelial cells or primary rat brain capillary endothelial cells. We showed that intercellular calcium (Ca2+) waves can mediate bidirectional astrocyte-endothelial Ca2+ signal communication in both co-culture models. It appears that two signaling pathways are involve...
متن کاملUptake, metabolism and toxicity of iron oxide nanoparticles in cultured microglia, astrocytes and neurons
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, 22–25 nucleotide long transcripts that may suppress entire signaling pathways by interacting with the 3’-untranslated region (3’-UTR) of coding mRNA targets, interrupting translation and inducing degradation of these targets. The long 3’-UTRs of brain transcripts compared to other tissues predict important roles for brain miRNAs. Supporting this notion, we found th...
متن کاملDifferential responses of two Iranian rice cultivars to arsenite toxicity
Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid which is usually found in rice fields as a contamination and has negative effects on the plant growth and reduces the crop yield. Similar to heavy metals, the deleterious effects of As may be due to, at least in part, the amount of absorbed As and disturbance of the plant water status. I...
