Abstract
Because the permeability of the blood-brain barrier to lipid microspheres (LMs) has not hitherto been demonstrated, blood-brain-barrier permeability to LM containing the prostaglandin I2 analogue clinprost has been evaluated for an in-vitro system of primary cultured monolayers of bovine brain capillary endothelial cells (BCECs), by a capillary depletion study in rats and by an in-situ brain perfusion study in normal and 4-vessel-occluded fore brain ischaemic rats. Although energy-dependency was not observed in [3H]clinprost uptake by BCECs, in accordance with results for simple diffusional transport, uptake of [3H]clinprost contained in lipid microspheres (denoted [3H]clinprost(LM)) was significantly inhibited by the endocytosis inhibitor, dansylcadaverine. The transport of LM into BCECs by endocytosis was also confirmed by fluorescence microscopy and flow-cytometric analysis using LM labelled with a fluorescent probe, 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (Dil). The absolute uptake of Dil(LM) by BCECs, measured by HPLC, was, however, almost 1/10 that of [3H]clinprost(LM), results which suggest the superiority of simple diffusion of clinprost over endocytosis of its LM form in the uptake of clinpro...Continue Reading
