Blood-brain barrier and neuro-AIDS.
Neuro-AIDS is becoming a major health problem among AIDS patients who experience improved survival under combined antiretroviral therapy (cART). Neuronal injury and loss are the critical issues of neuro-AIDS that need the entry of HIV into the central nervous system (CNS) via peripheral infected monocyte/macrophage carriers or viral direct penetration of blood-brain barrier (BBB). The mechanism...
متن کاملThe blood-brain barrier in systemic inflammation
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a key role in maintaining the specialized microenvironment of the central nervous system (CNS), and enabling communication with the systemic compartment. BBB changes occur in several CNS pathologies. Here, we review disruptive and non-disruptive BBB changes in systemic infections and other forms of systemic inflammation, and how these changes may affect CNS f...
متن کاملAutism, gut-blood-brain barrier, and mast cells.
Autism and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are pervasive neurodevelopmental disorders diagnosed in early childhood. They are characterized by varying degrees of dysfunctional communication and social skills, as well as repetitive and stereotypical behaviors. The diagnosis has increased considerably over the last few years, but it is not clear whether higher prevalence of the disorder, improved...
متن کاملAcid extrusion via blood–brain barrier causes brain alkalosis and seizures after neonatal asphyxia
Birth asphyxia is often associated with a high seizure burden that is predictive of poor neurodevelopmental outcome. The mechanisms underlying birth asphyxia seizures are unknown. Using an animal model of birth asphyxia based on 6-day-old rat pups, we have recently shown that the seizure burden is linked to an increase in brain extracellular pH that consists of the recovery from the asphyxia-in...
متن کاملBlood–brain barrier and intestinal epithelial barrier alterations in autism spectrum disorders
BACKGROUND Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are complex conditions whose pathogenesis may be attributed to gene-environment interactions. There are no definitive mechanisms explaining how environmental triggers can lead to ASD although the involvement of inflammation and immunity has been suggested. Inappropriate antigen trafficking through an impaired intestinal barrier, followed by passage of ...
