Effects of copper nanoparticles on rat cerebral microvessel endothelial cells

Nanomedicine

Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to determine whether copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) can induce the release of proinflammatory mediators that influence the restrictive characteristics of the blood-brain barrier. Confluent rat brain microvessel endothelial cells (rBMECs) were treated with well-characterized Cu-NPs (40 or 60 nm). Cytotoxicity of the Cu-NPs was evaluated by cell proliferation assay (1.5-50 µg/ml). The extracellular concentrations of proinflammatory mediators (IL-1β, IL-2, TNF-α and prostaglandin E(2)) were evaluated by ELISA. The exposure of Cu-NPs at low concentrations increases cellular proliferation of rBMECs, by contrast, high concentrations induce toxicity. Prostaglandin E(2) release was significantly increased (threefold; 8 h) for Cu-NPs (40 and 60 nm). The extracellular levels of both TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly elevated following exposure to Cu-NPs. The P-apparent ratio, as an indicator of increased permeability of rBMEC was approximately twofold for Cu-NPs (40 and 60 nm). These data suggest that Cu-NPs can induce rBMEC, proliferation at low concentrations and/or induce blood-brain barrier toxicity and potential neurotoxicity at high concentrations.

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 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.

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.
