Matrix metalloproteinase activation and blood-brain barrier breakdown following thrombolysis

Experimental Neurology
Melissa A KellyKathryn G Todd

Abstract

Thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is the only pharmacotherapy available for cerebral ischemia. However, the use of tPA can increase the risk of hemorrhage due to blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown. Recent evidence suggests that increased activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may be involved in this breakdown. This study examines the temporal profile of MMP-2 and -9 following tPA administration to ischemic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to one of four groups (Sham-tPA; Sham-Saline; Ischemia-tPA; Ischemia-Saline; group n = 6, total N = 120). Focal embolic ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion through injection of an autologous clot. One hour post-surgery, tPA (10 mg/kg) or saline was delivered intravenously and animals were euthanized at 3, 6, 12, or 24 h after onset of ischemia. Infarct volume was measured by TTC staining; BBB components examined immunohistochemically; and MMP activation measured by gelatin zymography. Our results show that tPA significantly reduced infarct volumes (overall infarct volume-Sham-tPA: 5.80 +/- 4.55 [mean +/- SE]; Sham-Saline: 5.00 +/- 4.23; Ischemia-tPA: 186.1 +/- 73.45; Ischemia-Saline: 284.8 +/- 88.74; all P < 0.05).

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia 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.

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 Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
