CSF/serum gradients of IgG subfractions separated by isoelectric focusing (IF) have been measured by high resolving laser densitometry. In patients with normal blood-CSF barrier permeability (N.25) and with barrier damage due to acute idiopathic polyneuropathy (N.15) and to medullary compression (N.17), the CSF/serum gradients of IgG subfractions were negatively correlated with their pI. This electrostatic selectivity appeared to be reverted in barrier damage due to acute meningoencephalitis (N.15). In a series of multiple sclerosis patients (N.31), the CSF/serum gradients of IgG subfractions lacking CSF oligoclonal bands have been used to assess the overall barrier permeability to serum IgG. All intra-BCB synthesized IgG subfractions could be measured by densitometry, whereas with other quantitative formulae, 23-26% of the results were false negatives; the total intrathecal IgG amount ranged from 0.01 to 11 mg/dl. The most frequent and prominent fractions appeared to be cathodic. Electrostatic and steric barrier selectivity must be taken into account when the amount of intrathecal IgG synthesis has to be measured.  相似文献

6-Hydroxydopamine-induced alterations in blood-brain barrier permeability   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Vascular inflammation is well known for its ability to compromise the function of the blood--brain barrier (BBB). Whether inflammation on the parenchymal side of the barrier, such as that associated with Parkinson's-like dopamine (DA) neuron lesions, similarly disrupts BBB function, is unknown. We assessed BBB integrity by examining the leakage of FITC-labeled albumin or horseradish peroxidase from the vasculature into parenchyma in animals exposed to the DA neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6OHDA). Unilateral injections of 6OHDA into the striatum or the medial forebrain bundle produced increased leakage in the ipsilateral substantia nigra and striatum 10 and 34 days following 6OHDA. Microglia were markedly activated and DA neurons were reduced by the lesions. The areas of BBB leakage were associated with increased expression of P-glycoprotein and beta 3-integrin expression suggesting, respectively, a compensatory response to inflammation and possible angiogenesis. Behavioural studies revealed that domperidone, a DA antagonist that normally does not cross the BBB, attenuated apomorphine-induced stereotypic behaviour in animals with 6OHDA lesions. This suggests that drugs which normally have no effect in brain can enter following Parkinson-like lesions. These data suggest that the events associated with DA neuron loss compromise BBB function.  相似文献

The present investigation was designed to study the ultrastructural integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in the cerebral microvasculature of scrapie-infected mice showing clinical illness. Cerebral microvessels from either IM, VM, or C57BL/6J mice, terminally affected with various strains of scrapie agent showed a focal leakage of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in all agent-strain and mouse-strain combinations. This leakage was most pronounced in and near the primary site of agent inoculation, but was also observed in microvessels scattered throughout the brain. Cytochemical studies also revealed a redistribution of plasmalemma-bound alkaline phosphatase in the endothelial cells. In control mice, the enzymatic activity was mainly concentrated in the luminal plasmalemma, while in the scrapie-infected mice the activity also appeared in the abluminal side in the majority of microvessels. Our observations are evidence that the BBB of the mouse is altered in some way by the scrapie agent. Such an alteration may have important implications for human disease, since the scrapie agent is related to the group of "slow" viral infections, including kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Scrapie may also serve as an important model for the study of senile dementia of the Alzheimer type (SDAT).  相似文献

Effect of insulin-induced hypoglycemia on blood-brain barrier permeability   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The effects of hypoglycemia on cerebrovascular permeability to the Evans blue-albumin complex were studied in rats injected with 50 IU/kg, i.v. crystalline zinc insulin. One group of hypoglycemic animals was warmed to keep their body temperatures close to 37 degrees C, and the rats in the other group were allowed to become hypothermic by hypoglycemia. The arterial blood pressures of the hypoglycemic rats were continuously monitored during the coma and a significant rise in pressure was observed in most animals at the end of the coma. When glucose was administered i.v. to five animals of each group, this elevated pressure returned to normal values within 0.5 min and the animals slowly recovered normal behavior. At termination of the coma, most brains in the hypothermic hypoglycemic group showed an intensive and extensive staining by Evans blue; whereas only two brains in the normothermic hypoglycemic group showed any noticeable extravasation of Evans blue-albumin. Arterial PO2, PCO2, and pH were determined and no significant difference was found between values from animals in hypoglycemic coma and the controls. Four animals were surface-cooled and were used to examine the effects of hypothermia on blood-brain barrier permeability. These brains did not show any macroscopically evident Evans blue-albumin extravasation. The results indicated that prolonged, severe hypoglycemia with hypothermia caused a profound blood-brain barrier dysfunction whereas normothermic hypoglycemia resulted in few cases of any noticeable increase in blood-brain barrier permeability.  相似文献

In previous work, allografts of fetal (E13-16) neocortical tissue transplanted into neocortical lesion cavities in newborn (PND 0-1) rats developed an impermeable blood-brain barrier (BBB) as shown by intravascular administration of horseradish peroxidase and by immunohistochemical staining for endogenous IgG. The present study examines the time course for the formation of the graft BBB by staining for endogenous IgG and also looks at transplants with extended survival times of 1-2 years. At two weeks post-transplantation, the grafts of all ten animals of this group showed evidence of IgG immunoreactivity within the graft parenchyma. This was greatest at the pial surface and adjacent to the ventricular surface of the transplant. By three weeks after transplantation, only four of nine grafts showed graft vessel permeability and this was confined to the area under the pia. At four weeks survival, one of nine grafts showed a small rostral patch of IgG reactivity, and a second animal showed very light, diffuse transplant labeling. The remaining seven animals were devoid of transplant IgG reactivity. At 11.5-28 months, three out of seven grafts had reaction product in the graft, indicating BBB permeability to IgG. In two of these older transplants, permeability was confined to the area around larger blood vessels, while one additional animal (28 months) showed dense labeling immediately below the pial surface. As in normal rats, host brain labeling was only found in circumventricular organs. These results show that circulating macromolecules are excluded from most CNS grafts within the first month of transplantation. This process progresses from the center of grafts and requires the longest time to complete in subpial regions possibly associated with healing of the pia. Some older grafts show leakage of protein which may relate to aging of the transplant or to a low-level graft rejection.  相似文献

We examined the effects of dexamethasone administration and withdrawal on regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) and the permeability surface area (PS) product for water in the central nervous system of conscious rats. There were no significant changes in CBF. Dexamethasone treatment produced a significant decrease in the PS product for water in the cerebral cortex, while withdrawal of dexamethasone resulted in a significant increase. Water content of the cerebral cortex was also increased in rats from which dexamethasone had been withdrawn. These findings may help in understanding the pathogenesis of brain swelling in some patients.  相似文献

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a regulatory interface between the circulation and the central nervous system (CNS). Therapy of neurological diseases is limited due to restricted penetration of pharmacons across the BBB. Models for screening the brain penetration of drug candidates are needed early in drug discovery. Culture-based models are useful tools for both basic research on BBB, and testing the permeability of new therapeutical molecules. This review focuses on patented in vitro BBB models and their potential application in CNS drug discovery. Cell culture models using primary and immortalized brain endothelial cells of non-human and human origin, in co-culture or mono-culture setting, in static or dynamic conditions are discussed, as well as methods to induce BBB properties in such in vitro models. The aim of these models is to reproduce as many aspects as possible of the in vivo BBB. All models should show some elements of general endothelial and specific BBB properties, like physiologically realistic cell architecture, restrictive paracellular pathway, and functional expression of transport mechanisms. Though no "ideal in vitro BBB model" has been constructed yet, the currently available models provide valuable information on BBB permeability and are useful tools in CNS drug discovery.  相似文献

Pericytes are a very important cellular constituent of the blood-brain barrier. They play a regulatory role in brain angiogenesis, endothelial cell tight junction formation, blood-brain barrier differentiation, as well as contribute to the microvascular vasodynamic capacity and structural stability. Central nervous system pericytes express macrophage functions and are actively involved in the neuroimmune network operating at the blood-brain barrier. They exhibit unique functional characteristics critical for the pathogenesis of a number of cerebrovascular, neurodegenerative, and neuroimmune diseases. J. Neurosci.

The effects of abnormal levels of circulating glucocorticosteroids upon the carrier-mediated transport of tyrosine and tryptophan across the blood-brain-carrier of the adult male rat were studied. The uptake of C14 labeled tyrosine or tryptophan was measured relative to that of simultaneously injected 3H2O, a freely diffusible internal standard. Fifteen sec after rapid intracarotid injection the rats were decapitated and brain tissue was homogenized and subjected to liquid scintillation counting. The level of circulating glucocorticosteroids was altered by intraperitoneal injection of cortisol (30 mg/kg) or corticosterone (30 mg/kg) 20 min prior to the amino acid injection. Rats were also injected with cortisol (10 mg/kg) or corticosterone (10 mg/kg) for 14 days. These rats were then injected with cortisol (10 mg/kg) or corticosterone (10 mg.kg) 90 min before the experiment. The amino acid uptake indices were analyzed statistically by the Wilcoxan Rank Sum Test. In no case was the uptake of tyrosine or tryptophan found to differ significantly (p <0·10) between the experimental and control rats. It is concluded that no correlation between levels of circulating adrenal glucocorticosteroids and transport across the blood brain barrier of the amino acid precursors of the putative neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and serotonin, can be demonstrated by this method.  相似文献

Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy is an autosomal recessive multisystemic disorder caused by thymidine phosphorylase deficiency. Whereas the pathomechanism of the secondary mitochondrial dysfunction has been extensively studied, that of the leukoencephalopathy has not been elucidated. We hypothesized that the white matter hyperintensities on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images reflect disturbance of blood-brain barrier function. Albumin immunohistochemistry disclosed quantitative (p < 0.01) and qualitative differences between the mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy and control brains, indicating that loss of thymidine phosphorylase function impairs the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.  相似文献

We have examined the effect of antioxidants (vitamin E, and selenium) on the blood-brain barrier permeability during adreneline-induced acute hypertension in the female rats. The rats supplemented with nontoxic doses of sodium selenite in drinking water for three months or vitamin E was given intraperitoneally before adrenaline-induced acute hypertension. Evans-blue was used as a blood-brain barrier tracer. Mean values for Evans-blue dye were found to be 0.28 +/- 0.04 microg/g tissue in control animals and 1.0 +/- 0.2 microg tissue after adrenaline-induced acute hypertension (p < .01). Rats pretreated with selenium or vitamin E also showed macroscopic leakage of Evans-blue albumin after adrenaline injection i.e., there was no significant difference in protein extravasation between untreated and treated animals (p > .5). The mean value for Evans-blue dye was found to be 1.0 +/- 0.2 microg/g tissue in acute hypertension group, 0.9 +/- 0.2 microg/g tissue in selenium pretreated animals and 1.0 +/- 0.2 micrg/g tissue vitamin E injected animals after acute hypertension. The results show that antioxidants did not influence the blood-brain barrier breakdown during adrenaline-induced acute hypertension.  相似文献

Reversible microwave effects on the blood-brain barrier   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Low level microwave exposure of Chinese hamster resulted in reversible permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Lesions were grossly visible in random areas of the brain immediately following exposure, but were not as common following a 1 h recovery period and were absent after a 2 h recovery period. The apparent route of increased permeability was via endothelial vesicular transport, since reaction product was not seen passing through the endothelial tight junctions. In addition, endothelial flooding of HRP, platelet aggregation and perivascular edema were observed only in experimental animals. Possible mechanisms for the enhanced vesicular transport are discussed.  相似文献

Dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) is a primary characteristic of multiple sclerosis (MS). We evaluated the protective effects of fasudil, a selective ROCK inhibitor, in a model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) that was induced by guinea-pig spinal cord. In addition, we studied the effects of fasudil on BBB and BSCB permeability. We found that fasudil partly alleviated EAE-dependent damage by decreasing BBB and BSCB permeability. These results provide rationale for the development of selective inhibitors of Rho kinase as a novel therapy for MS.  相似文献

The aim of this paper was to determine whether prolonged drinking of lead acetate-containing water by adult rats, which imitates environmental exposure to lead (Pb), affects some morphological and biochemical properties of rat brain microvessels. We noted a significant increase of lead level in capillaries and synaptosomes obtained from brains of rats under chronic toxicity conditions. Intravenously injected horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used to evaluate the functional state of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The results indicate that, systematically administered at low doses, lead induces BBB dysfunction. The changes, revealed in light microscopy and confirmed by electron microscopic studies, are typical for “leaky” microvessels, reported for variety of neuropathological conditions associated with BBB damage. Enhanced pinocytotic activity of the endothelial cells and the opening of interendothelial tight junctions, together with enormous phagocytizing action of the pericytes, are the most characteristic ultrastructural features noted. The presence of specific type of perivascular cells containing droplets of lipids in the cytoplasm, together with changes in phospholipid profile in brain capillaries, suggest that altered lipid composition of membranes may, at least in part, be responsible for changes in observed membrane permeability.  相似文献
