Glucose transport by isolated plasma membranes of the bovine blood-brain barrier

Abstract

Luminal and abluminal endothelial plasma membrane vesicles were isolated from bovine cerebral microvessels, the site of the blood-brain barrier. Glucose transport across each membrane was measured using a rapid-filtration technique. Glucose transport into luminal vesicles occurred by a stereospecific energy-independent transporter [Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)) = 10.3 +/- 2.8 (SE) mM and maximal velocity (Vmax) = 8.6 +/- 2.0 nmol.mg protein(-1).min-1]. Kinetic analysis of abluminal vesicles also showed a transport system with characteristics similar to the luminal transporter (K(m) = 12.5 +/- 2.3 mM and Vmax = 10.0 +/- 1.0 nmol.mg protein-1.min-1). These functional, facilitative glucose transporters were symmetrically distributed between the luminal and abluminal membrane domains, providing a mechanism for glucose movement between blood and brain. The studies also revealed a Na-dependent transporter on the abluminal membrane with a higher affinity and lower capacity than the facilitative transporters (K(m) = 130 +/- 20 microM and Vmax = 1.59 +/- 0.44 nmol.mg protein-1.min-1. The abluminal Na-dependent glucose transporter is in a position to transport glucose from the brain extracellular fluid into the endothelial cells of th...Continue Reading

Blood-Brain Barrier Transport in Neurodegeneration

The blood brain barrier is important for regulating the movement of biomolecules in and out of the brain. For example, membrane transporters in the blood brain barrier can be essential for regulating drug movement and dysregulation of these processes may play a role in neurodegeneration. This feed follows the latest research on this topic.

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.
