Cellular mechanisms of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening to albumin-gold complex.

چکیده
Cold lesion injury applied to mouse brain and infusion of hyperosmolar L(+) arabinose solution into rat carotid artery were used as extravascular and intravascular insults, respectively, leading to blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. To study the cellular mechanisms of the BBB opening, heterologous (bovine) and homologous (mouse and rat) albumin-gold complexes were used as a macromolecular tracer. Both insults rapidly induce the leakage of the blood-borne tracer, although the mechanisms of their action appear to be different. Cold lesion injury (cryoinjury) leads to the opening of interendothelial junctions and concomitantly to an endothelial-platelet reaction. This insult is followed by irreversible changes such as desquamation, degeneration and necrosis of the endothelial lining, formation of thromboses, and disruption of the basement membrane. Osmotic opening occurs through at least the four mechanisms (presumably temporal and reversible) that follow: 1) opening of a part of the junctional complexes; 2) the formation of transendothelial openings (interendothelial gaps or penetrating, crater-like excavations); 3) the uncontrolled passage of tracer particles through the cytoplasm of the injured endothelial cells; and 4) segmental denudation of the endothelial lining. The basement membrane appears to represent one of the main obstacles in the passage of blood-borne albumin-gold complexes to the extracellular space in the brain parenchyma.

P 136: The Role of Blood Brain Barrier in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disorder, in which neurons become demyelinated. To date, its etiology has remained unknown. Nevertheless, certain features are inspected to provoke MS. For instance, improper function of immune cells is widely believed to be the basis of such disorder. In this concept, MS is stated as an autoimmune disease, which was asserted by major of studies, as CD...

Endothelial cells present in brain are unique and differ from other peripheral tissues in a number of ways, which ensures specific brain endothelial barrier properties. Endothelial dysfunction is the earliest event in the initiation of vascular damage caused by inflammation. Various microRNAs (miRNA) have been discovered in different cellular components of the blood bran barrier (BBB). miRNAs a...

Two-pore domain potassium channels, like KCNK2, are known to play an important role in inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Upregulation of cellular adhesion molecules in mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (MBMECs) of Kcnk2-/- mice resulted in elevated leukocyte trafficking into the central nervous system under inflammatory conditions. The current project aims to gain...
