Abstract

Insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) is expressed in the brain and may play an important role there in the degradation of the amyloid beta peptide (Abeta). Our results show that cultured human cerebrovascular endothelial cells (HCECs), a primary component of the blood-brain barrier, express IDE and may respond to exposure to low levels of Abeta by upregulating its expression. When radiolabeled Abeta is introduced to the medium of cultured HCECs, it is rapidly degraded to smaller fragments. We believe that this degradation is largely the result of the action of IDE, as it can be substantially blocked by the presence of insulin in the medium, a competitive substrate of IDE. No inhibition is seen when an inhibitor of neprilysin, another protease that may degrade Abeta, is present in the medium. Our evidence suggests that the action of IDE occurs outside the cell, as inhibitors of internalization fail to affect the rate of the observed degradation. Further, our evidence suggests that degradation by IDE occurs on the plasma membrane, as much of the IDE present in HCECs was biotin-labeled by a plasma membrane impermeable reagent. This activity seems to be polarity dependent, as measurement of Abeta degradation by each surface of differenti...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.

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.

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.
