Cellular Specificity of the Blood–CSF Barrier for Albumin Transfer across the Choroid Plexus Epithelium
To maintain the precise internal milieu of the mammalian central nervous system, well-controlled transfer of molecules from periphery into brain is required. Recently the soluble and cell-surface albumin-binding glycoprotein SPARC (secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine) has been implicated in albumin transport into developing brain, however the exact mechanism remains unknown. We postula...
متن کاملCSF albumin and immunoglobulin analyses in childhood neurologic disorders
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the utility of qualitative and quantitative analyses of CSF immunoglobulins as part of the diagnostic workup of CNS inflammatory conditions. METHODS One hundred eighty-nine children who underwent CSF investigation for their neurologic condition had CSF and serum testing to (1) qualitatively identify oligoclonal band (OCB) patterns and (2) quantitatively measure the immun...
متن کاملN-system amino acid transport at the blood--CSF barrier.
Despite L-glutamine being the most abundant amino acid in CSF, the mechanisms of its transport at the choroid plexus have not been fully elucidated. This study examines the role of L-, A-, ASC-, and N-system amino acid transporters in L-[14C]glutamine uptake into isolated rat choroid plexus. In the absence of competing amino acids, approximately half the glutamine uptake was via a Na(+)-depende...
متن کاملDevelopment of the choroid plexus and blood-CSF barrier
Well-known as one of the main sources of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the choroid plexuses have been, and still remain, a relatively understudied tissue in neuroscience. The choroid plexus and CSF (along with the blood-brain barrier proper) are recognized to provide a robust protective effort for the brain: a physical barrier to impede entrance of toxic metabolites to the brain; a "biochemical" b...
متن کاملG-CSF and GM-CSF in Neutropenia.
G-CSF and GM-CSF are used widely to promote the production of granulocytes or APCs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved G-CSF (filgrastim) for the treatment of congenital and acquired neutropenias and for mobilization of peripheral hematopoietic progenitor cells for stem cell transplantation. A polyethylene glycol-modified form of G-CSF is approved for the treatment of neutropenias. ...
