ABSTRACT

@#Objective To investigate the effects of the long non-coding RNA LOXL1 antisense RNA 1 (LOXL1-AS1) on the apoptosis and inflammatory factor expression of human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). Methods HBMECs were divided into control group (normal culture), OGD group (OGD injury), OGD+si-NC group (transfection with si-NC plus OGD injury), OGD+si-LOXL1-AS1 group (transfection with si-LOXL1-AS1 plus OGD injury), OGD+miR-NC group (transfection with miR-NC plus OGD injury), OGD+miR-761 group (transfection with miR-761 mimic plus OGD injury), OGD+si-LOXL1-AS1+negative control group (transfection with si-LOXL1-AS1 and anti-miR-NC plus OGD injury), and OGD+si-LOXL1-AS1+miR-761 inhibitor group (transfection with si-LOXL1-AS1 and miR-761 inhibitor plus OGD injury). The expression of LOXL1-AS1 and miR-761 was measured by RT-qPCR. Cell viability was measured using cell counting kit-8. Cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. The expression of B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) protein and Bcl-2-associated X (Bax) protein was measured by Western blotting. The levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Dual luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the complementary binding of LOXL1-AS1 and miR-761. Results Compared with the control group, the OGD group showed significant increases in LOXL1-AS1 expression, the cell apoptosis rate, Bax expression, and IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels and significant decreases in the cell survival rate and Bcl-2 expression (all P<0.05). After inhibiting LOXL1-AS1, the OGD+si-LOXL1-AS1 group showed significant decreases in LOXL1-AS1 expression, the apoptosis rate, Bax expression, and IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels and significant decreases in the survival rate and Bcl-2 expression, compared with the OGD group and the OGD+si-NC group (all P<0.05). LOXL1-AS1 targeted the expression of miR-761. After overexpressing miR-761, the OGD+miR-761 group showed significant increases in the survival rate and Bcl-2 expression and significant decreases in the apoptosis rate, Bax expression, and IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels, compared with the OGD+miR-NC group (all P<0.05). Compared with the OGD+si-LOXL1-AS1+negative control group, the OGD+si-LOXL1-AS1+miR-761 inhibitor group showed significantly decreased survival rate and Bcl-2 expression and significantly increased apoptosis rate, Bax expression, and IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels (all P<0.05). Conclusion Inhibiting LOXL1-AS1 expression can up-regulate miR-761 to promote the survival of OGD-induced HBMECs and suppress the cells' apoptosis and expression of inflammatory factors.

Methods Human brain microvascular endothelial cells (ox-LDL group) were induced by ox-LDL, normal cultured cells were control group (Ctrl); A2M-AS1 overexpression (pcDNAA2M-AS1 group), empty vector (pcDNA group), miR-106b-5p inhibitor (anti-miR-106b-5p group), negative control (anti-miR-NC group), pcDNA-A2M-AS1 with control mimic NC (miR-NC group), pcDNA-A2M-AS1 with miR-106b-5p mimic (miR-106b-5p mimics group) were transfected into cells and treated with ox-LDL, n = 9. Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression levels of A2M-AS1 and miR-106b-5p; Kits were used to detect malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT)); Flow cytometry and TUNEL detected apoptosis; Dual luciferase reporter gene assay detected A2M-AS1 and miR-106b-5p targeting; Western blotting detected Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression. Results Compared with the Ctrl group, the expression level of A2M-AS1 in the ox-LDL group decreased, and the activity of SOD and CAT and the protein level of Bcl-2 decreased (P<0.05), while the expression level of miR-106b-5p and the level of MDA increased (P<0.05), and the rate of apoptosis and the protein level of Bax increased (P<0.05). Overexpressing A2M-AS1 or interfering with miR-106b-5p decreased the MDA level, apoptosis rate and Bax protein level after ox-LDL-induced cells, and increased SOD, CAT activity and Bcl-2 protein level (P<0.05). A2M-AS1 targeted miR-106b-5p; upregulation of miR-106b-5p reversed the effect of overexpressed lncRNA A2M-AS1 on ox-LDL-induced injury of human brain microvascular endothelial cells (P < 0.05). Conclusion A2M-AS1 attenuates ox-LDL-induced injury of human brain microvascular endothelial cells by targeting miR-106b-5p.

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To investigate the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid exosome-derived miR-630 and the function of brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs). 【Methods】 The subarachnoid hemorrhage endothelial cell model was established to evaluate the effect of hemorrhagic cerebrospinal fluid (BCSF) on BMECs’ proliferation by MTT assay and cell cycle analysis. qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect the expressions of endothelial cell tight junction protein (ZO-1) and adhesion molecule (ICAM-1 and VCAM-1). Changes in NOx concentration were detected by radioimmunoassay. The cerebrospinal fluid exosomes in the experimental group (co-incubated with BCSF) and the control group (normal cerebrospinal fluid) were isolated and identified, and differences in the expressions of cerebrospinal fluid exosomal miR-630 between the two groups were compared. BMECs work changes after the intervention with miR-630 analogue were observed. 【Results】 The proliferation of BMECs was significantly inhibited in the experimental group; the mRNA and protein levels of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and ZO-1 were significantly decreased, and the function of endothelial cells was significantly inhibited (P<0.05). After the successful separation and identification of cerebrospinal fluid exosomes, the expression of miR-630 was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). The function of BMECs was significantly improved with miR-630 mimics. 【Conclusion】 The low expression of miR-630 in cerebrospinal fluid exosomes after subarachnoid hemorrhage is closely related to BMECs injury.

ABSTRACT

Purpose To clarify the effect of adenosine on brain metastasis of lung cancer and the possible mechanism of adenosine promoting brain metastasis of lung cancer. Methods Western blot was used to dynamically detect the expression level of hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) in lung cancer cells and tight junction protein ZO-1 in brain microvascular endothelial cells on blood-brain barrier. The content of adenosine in lung cancer cell culture was determined by ELISA. Fluorescence analysis was used to detect the changes of permeability of the blood-brain barrier model in vitro. Hemocytometer counts the number of A549 lung cancer cells in Transwell's lower chamber. Results The expression level of HIF-1 in lung cancer cells and the content of adenosine in lung cancer cell culture reached the highest level when lung cancer cells were deprived of oxygen for 12 hours. At the same time, the expression level of ZO-1 protein in the blood-brain barrier was the lowest, the blood-brain barrier permeability was the highest (7.11), and the number of lung cancer cells passing through the blood-brain barrier model was the highest (84.6). The permeability of the blood-brain barrier model increased after the action of adenosine, and its change trend was consistent with the effect of hypoxic lung cancer cell culture solution. Conclusion Hypoxia can induce the lung cancer cell to release adenosine, the increased adenosine can reduce the expression of tight junction protein ZO-1 in blood brain barrier, which leads to the increase of permeability of blood-brain barrier and eventually lead to brain metastasis of lung cancer.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of downregulated pregnane X receptor (PXR)on expression and activity of P-glycoprotein(P-gp)in mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (mBMEC)exposed to glutamate (GLU)to mimic conditions during seizures. Methods The bEnd.3 cells,were cultured in vitro and treated with culture medium containing 0 μmol,10 μmol,50 μmol,100 μmol GLU for 30 min and exposed to 100 μM GLU for different durations (0 min,15 min,30 min). With PXR knockdown using siRNA,the cells were divided into NC siRNA plus GLU group and siRNA-PXR plus GLU group. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of P-gp and PXR in each group. Immunofluorescence assay was used to detect localization of PXR in cells. The expression of P-gp mRNA was detected by RT-qPCR. Rhodamine123 (Rh123)accumulation assay was used to study the activity of the P-gp in cells.Results PXR and P-gp protein expressions in the 50 μmol and 100 μmol GLU group were significantly higher than that in the blank group(P<0.05),especially maximal expressions occurred in the 100 μmol GLU group. GLU exposures as short as 15 min and 30 min significantly increased PXR expressions(all P<0.05);P-gp expression in the 30 min groups was higher than that in the blank group (P<0.05 ). The data of immunofluorescence analysis suggested that the PXR nuclear accumulation increased in the 100 μM GLU group, compared with the blank group(P<0.05). Compared with NC siRNA plus GLU group,the protein level of PXR was decreased by approximately 37%[(1.00 ± 0.00)vs(0.63 ± 0.18);t=3.41,P=0.02]and the levels of P-gp protein and mRNA were respectively decreased by 43%[(1.00 ± 0.00)vs (0.57 ± 0.09);t=7.94,P=0.00] and 52%[(1.00 ± 0.04)vs (0.48 ± 0.08);t =10.98,P=0.00]in the siRNA-PXR plus GLU group. The fluorescence intensity of intracellular Rh123 in the GLU group (0.72 ± 0.01)was lower than that in the blank group [(1.00 ± 0.03);t =9.66,P=0.00]. The fluorescence intensity of Rh123 in the GLU plus verapamil (P-gp inhibitor)group (1.07 ± 0.04)was higher than that in the GLU group (t= -11.93,P=0.00). The fluorescence intensity of Rh123 in the siRNA-PXR plus GLU group (0.91 ± 0.03)was higher than that in the NC siRNA plus GLU group[(0.69 ± 0.05);t= -7.52,P=0.00]. Conclusions Downregulation of PXR expression results in the inhibition of P-gp expression and activity in the mBMEC exposed to GLU to mimic seizures. PXR may play an important role in the regulation of seizure-induced expression and activity of P-gp in the blood-brain barrier.

In contrast, there was no significant change in the morphology in the non-exposed iRBC at all concentrations and exposure time. This observation was in agreement with the levels of the enzymatic degradation products iron and bilirubin, of which the highest levels (106.03 and 1753.54% of baseline level, respectively) were observed at 15 μM vs. 20 μM at 3 h vs. 24 h exposure. For the effect of the HO-1 inhibitor ZnPPIX, HBMEC cell morphology was mostly unchanged, but significant inhibitory effect on cell apoptosis was seen at 10 μM for the exposure period of 3 h (37.17% of baseline level). The degree of the inhibitory effect as reflected by the level of iron produced was not clearly observed (highest effect at 10 μM and 3 h exposure).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Results provide at least in part, insight into the contribution of HO-1 on CM pathogenesis and need to be confirmed in animal model.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To develop a kind of multifunctional targeting epirubicin liposomes for the treatment of brain tumor, to characterize their physicochemical properties, and to observe their targeting effects on the brain microvascular endothelial cells (BM-VECs) and on the brain glioma cells. METHODS: The 2-amino-2-deoxy-β-Z)-glucopyranose(NH2-Glu) was used as a targeting molecule and conjugated with a cholesterol-polyethylene glycol derivative (Chol-PEG2000-NHS) for obtaining the targeting functional material aimed at targeting to glucose transporter-1 (Glut-1) on the BMVECs of blood-brain barrier and further targeting to the glioma cells. To prepare the multifunctional targeting epirubicin liposomes, the targeting functional material was modified onto the surface of liposomes, and epirubicin was loaded into the core of liposomes as the anticancer drug. The encapsulation efficiency, particle size, polydispersity indexes and Zeta potential of the liposomes were measured, their cellular uptakes were performed on the BMVECs and the glioma cells. The inhibitory effect was performed on the glioma cells. RESULTS: The analysis by MALDI-TOF-MS demonstrated that the targeting functional material, Chol-PEG2000-Glu, was successfully synthesized. The multifunctional targeting epirubicin liposomes were prepared, and had an average particle size of approximately 125 nm, and were negatively charged. The encapsulation efficiency of epirubicin in the liposomes was about 93%. Results from flow cytometry indicated that the multifunctional targeting epirubicin liposomes had the highest cellular uptakes by BMVECs and by two kinds of brain glioma cells as compared with no-targeting epirubicin liposomes. The cytotoxic study showed that the multifunctional targeting epirubicin liposomes had the strongest inhibitory effect to brain glioma cells as compared with free epirubicin or no-targeting epirubicin liposomes. CONCLUSION: A new targeting material (Chol-PEG2000-Glu) and the multifunctional targeting epirubicin liposomes are developed, and the multifunctional targeting epirubicin liposomes exhibit the potential lortransporting across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and selectively inhibiting the brain glioma cells.

ABSTRACT

[Abstract ] Objective High-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is abundantly released in the epileptogenic brain tissue , but few reports are seen about the effect of HMGB 1 on the expression of P-glycoprotein ( P-gp) in the vascular endothelial cells of the epi-leptogenic tissue .This study is to explore whether HMGB 1 can regulate P-gp expression in the brain microvascular endothelial cells of the mouse in vitro . Methods Immortalized brain microvascular endothelial bEnd .3 cells of the mouse were cultured in vitro and al-located to different concentration groups ( treated with culture medium containing 10 , 100 , 500 , and 1000 ng/mL HMGB1 for 8 hours), treatment duration groups (treated with culture medium containing 100 ng/mL HMGB1 for 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32 hours), and a control group ( treated with culture medium without HMGB 1 ) .The mRNA expression of P-gp-encoding gene-multidrug resistance gene 1a (mdr1a) was detected by real-time qPCR, and its protein expression determined by Western blot and immunocytochemistry . Results The results of qPCR manifested that the expressions of mdr 1a mRNA were 1.646 ±0.176, 1.777 ±0.135, 1.617 ±0.043, and 1.398 ±0.182 in the 10, 100, 500, and 1000 ng/mL HMGB1 groups, respectively, significantly higher than 1.030 ±0.284 in the control group (P<0.05), and so were those in the 4, 8, 16, 24 h, and 32 h groups (2.655 ±0.112, 2.168 ±0.212, 1.823 ± 0.232, 1.418 ±0.376, and 1.445 ±0.123) than in the control (1.010 ±0.164) (P <0.05).Western blot showed a significant increase in the P-gp protein expression in all the concentration groups (P<0.05) as well as in the 8 h and 16 h treatment duration groups as compared with the control group (P<0.05).Immunocytochemis-try also revealed a higher P-gp expression in the HMGB1-treated than in the control cells (P<0.01). Conclusion HMGB1 can upregu-late the expressions of mdr1a mRNA and P-gp protein in the brain microvascular endothelial cells of the mouse , which may associated with drug resistance of central nervous system diseases , especially that of epilepsy .

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the virulence role of ompT of Escherichia coli in the patho-genesis of neonatal meningitis .Methods Adhesive abilities of the parent strain E 44 and the isogenic ompT-deletion mutant strain ( E44 ∶ΔompT) to human brain microvascular endothelial cells were evaluated in in vitro model.Low-copy-number plasmid pST containing ompT locus and point mutant plasmid pST 85 were transferred into E44 ∶ΔompT to construct the complemented mutant strain , and its adhesive ability was ana-lyzed.Influences of ompT deletion on E44 strain in its ability of bacterial intestinal colonization and ability of penetrating the blood-brain barrier were determined . Results In comparison with the parent strain , E44 ∶ΔompT strain showed significantly impaired adhesive ability to human brain microvascular endothelial cells, which could be partly restored by inserting the complementary plasmids of pST and pST 85.Deletion of the ompT did not affect Escherichia coli K1 in normal intestinal colonization in in vivo model.E44 ∶ΔompT strain could induce bacteremia , which was similar to that induced by the parent strain , but its ability of crossing the blood-brain barrier was significantly declined .Conclusion The study demonstrate that ompT plays an important role as the virulence element of Escherichia coli in binding to brain microvascular endothe-lial cells and penetrating the blood-brain barrier .Further study should be performed to investigate the influ-ences of OmpT proteinase on the virulence of Escherichia coil.

ABSTRACT

The pathogenesis and pathophysiology of Acanthamoeba infections remain incompletely understood. Phos-pholipases are known to cleave phospholipids, suggesting their possible involvement in the host cell plasma membrane disruption leading to host cell penetration and lysis. The aims of the present study were to determine phospholipase activities in Acanthamoeba and to determine their roles in the pathogenesis of Acanthamoeba. Using an encephalitis isolate (T1 genotype), a keratitis isolate (T4 genotype), and an environmental isolate (T7 genotype), we demonstrated that Acanthamoeba exhibited phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and phospholipase D (PLD) activities in a spectrophotometry-based assay. Interestingly, the encephalitis isolates of Acanthamoeba exhibited higher phospholipase activities as compared with the keratitis isolates, but the environmental isolates exhibited the highest phospholipase activities. Moreover, Acanthamoeba isolates exhibited higher PLD activities compared with the PLA2. Acanthamoeba exhibited optimal phospholipase activities at 37degrees C and at neutral pH indicating their physiological relevance. The functional role of phospholipases was determined by in vitro assays using human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC), which constitute the blood-brain barrier. We observed that a PLD-specific inhibitor, i.e., compound 48/80, partially inhibited Acanthamoeba encephalitis isolate cytotoxicity of the host cells, while PLA2-specific inhibitor, i.e., cytidine 5'-diphosphocholine, had no effect on parasite-mediated HBMEC cytotoxicity. Overall, the T7 exhibited higher phospholipase activities as compared to the T4. In contract, the T7 exhibited minimal binding to, or cytotoxicity of, HBMEC.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism for change in permeability in brain microvascular endothelial cells (bEnd.3) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods Monolayers of bEnd.3 were exposed to LPS,in the presence or absence of exoenzyme C3 transferase. We monitored the monolayer barrier integrity by transendothelial electrical resistance assay (TEER),activity of RhoA by pull down assay,NF-κB by luciferase reporter assay,and F-actin dynamic structure by Rhodamine-phalloidin staining. Results Incubation of monolayers with LPS caused substantial barrier hyperpermeability. Under the had been treated for 3 and 12 h with LPS (P<0.05). Such effects could be inhibited partly by pretreatment of RhoA inhibitor exoenzyme C3 transferase. LPS activated RhoA and NF-κB at 0.5 h. The C3 transferase could significantly reverse the NF-κB activation (P<0.05). The F-actin rearrangments displayed in a time-dependent manner and occurred originally after the stimulation of LPS for 3 h,which could be diluted by the pretreatment of C3 transferase as well. Conclusion LPS induces the disruption of F-actin cytoskeleton and brain microvascular endothelial barrier integrity,in part,through RhoA and NF-κB activation. The mechanism underlying this pathophysiological effect of RhoA is to influence the disruption of the F-actin cytoskeleton by regulating NF-κB activites.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the influence of conditioned medium of rat brain microvascular endothelial cells on the activity of cortical neurons and the protective effect of Tong Luo Jiu Nao Injection.Methods: We collected the conditioned media from 4 different cultured endothelial cell groups,which were normal endothelial cells,the normal ones and treated with Tong Luo Jiu Nao Injection,the injured ones damaged by simulated cerebral ischemia,as well as the injured ones and treated with Tong Luo Jiu Nao Injection,respectively(N-CM,NT-CM,I-CM,IT-CM).Then,the conditioned medium was added into the cultures of the normal neurons and the damage ones which are injured by simulated cerebral ischemia as well,respectively.The effect of each type of conditioned medium on the activities of neurons was determined through the measurement of MTT and the transduction rate of LDH.Results:(1) N-CM has no obvious effect on the normal neurons,but does show some protective effect on the injured ones by increasing its activity significantly;(2) I-CM could decrease the activity of the normal neurons as well as aggravate the damage on the injured ones,while this injury effect can be reversed remarkably by IT-CM.Conclusion: The paracrine secretion of the brain microvascular endothelial cells might be one of the vital mechanisms in cerebral ischemic injury,indicating that the brain microvascular endothelial cells could be the therapeutic targets of Chinese medicine,which are not able to permeate through the Blood-Brain Barrier.
