Quorum Sensing Peptides Selectively Penetrate the Blood-Brain Barrier
Bacteria communicate with each other by the use of signaling molecules, a process called 'quorum sensing'. One group of quorum sensing molecules includes the oligopeptides, which are mainly produced by Gram-positive bacteria. Recently, these quorum sensing peptides were found to biologically influence mammalian cells, promoting i.a. metastasis of cancer cells. Moreover, it was found that bacter...
متن کاملOxidative stress induced-neurodegenerative diseases: the need for antioxidants that penetrate the blood brain barrier.
Oxidative stress (OS) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of many neurological, particularly neurodegenerative diseases. OS can cause cellular damage and subsequent cell death because the reactive oxygen species (ROS) oxidize vital cellular components such as lipids, proteins, and DNA. Moreover, the brain is exposed throughout life to excitatory amino acids (such as glutamate), whose met...

متن کاملHow Glutamate Is Managed by the Blood–Brain Barrier
A facilitative transport system exists on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that has been tacitly assumed to be a path for glutamate entry to the brain. However, glutamate is a non-essential amino acid whose brain content is much greater than plasma, and studies in vivo show that glutamate does not enter the brain in appreciable quantities except in those small regions with fenestrated capillaries ...
متن کاملThe blood-brain barrier.
In autoimmune neurologic disorders, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a central role in immunopathogenesis, since this vascular interface is an entry path for cells and effector molecules of the peripheral immune system to reach the target organ, the central nervous system (CNS). The BBB's unique anatomic structure and the tightly regulated interplay of its cellular and acellular components a...
