Abstract

Immunogold electron microscopy was used to analyze and quantify the Glut1 glucose transporter in brain tissue from five patients undergoing surgery for treatment of seizures. Samples were prepared from two different regions of each resection: (1) the most actively spiking epileptogenic site, and (2) the least actively spiking region, as indicated by intraoperative EEG monitoring. Two configurations of endothelial cell Glut1 were observed. About one half of the capillary profiles examined displayed abundant Glut1 immunoreactivity on both luminal and abluminal endothelial membranes. In the remainder of the profiles, reduced Glut1 labeling was seen, but adjacent erythrocyte membranes remained highly Glut1 immunoreactive, suggesting that reduced endothelial Glut1 reactivity was not attributable to method artifacts. Immunogold studies using antisera to human glial fibrillary acidic protein and human serum albumin demonstrated increased quantities of these two epitopes in the extravascular regions in which more EEG spiking activity had been demonstrated. These observations were consistent with the hypotheses that capillary integrity was more compromised, and gliosis was quantitatively increased, in the more actively spiking region of...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.

Brain Injury & Trauma

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

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.
