Abstract

ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mediates apolipoprotein-dependent cholesterol release from cellular membranes. Recent studies using ABCA1 knockout mice have demonstrated that ABCA1 affects amyloid-beta peptide (A beta) levels in the brain and the production of senile plaque. Cerebral A beta(1-40) was eliminated from the brain to the circulating blood via the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which expresses ABCA1. Therefore, in the present study, we examined whether ABCA1 affects the brain-to-blood efflux transport of human A beta(1-40)(hA beta(1-40)) at the BBB. The apparent uptake of [125I]hA beta(1-40) into ABCA1-expressing HEK293 cells was not significantly different from that into parental HEK293 cells. In addition, the apparent uptake was not significantly affected even in the presence of apolipoprotein A-I as a cholesterol release acceptor. Moreover, [125I]hA beta(1-40) elimination from mouse brain across the BBB was not significantly different between ABCA1-deficient and wild-type mice 60 min after its administration into the cerebrum. These results suggest that ABCA1 does not directly transport hA beta(1-40) and a deficiency of ABCA1 does not attenuate the brain-to-blood efflux transport of hA beta(1-40) across th...Continue Reading

Blood Brain Barrier Regulation in Health & Disease

The blood brain barrier is essential in regulating the movement of molecules and substances in and out of the brain. Disruption to the blood brain barrier and changes in permeability allow pathogens and inflammatory molecules to cross the barrier and may play a part in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Here is the latest research in this field.

Alzheimer's Disease: APP

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) proteolysis is critical for the development of Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disease associated with accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain. Here is the latest research on APP and Alzheimer's disease.

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.
