Abstract

Late-delayed radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) is a major adverse effect of fractionated whole-brain irradiation (fWBI). Characterized by progressive cognitive dysfunction, and associated cerebrovascular and white matter injury, RIBI deleteriously affects quality of life for cancer patients. Despite extensive morphological characterization of the injury, the pathogenesis is unclear, thus limiting the development of effective therapeutics. We previously reported that RIBI is associated with increased gene expression of the extracellular matrix (ECM) protein fibronectin (FN1). We hypothesized that fibronectin contributes to perivascular ECM, which may impair diffusion to the dependent parenchyma, thus contributing to the observed cognitive decline. The goal of this study was to determine the localization of fibronectin in RIBI and further characterize the composition of perivascular ECM, as well as identify the cell of origin for FN1 by in situ hybridization. Briefly, fibronectin localized to the vascular basement membrane of morphologically normal blood vessels from control comparators and animals receiving fWBI, and to the perivascular space of edematous and fibrotic vascular phenotypes of animals receiving fWBI.

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.

Brain Injury & Trauma

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.
