Heat shock treatment protects osmotic stress–induced dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier through preservation of tight junction proteins

Abstract: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a specialized structure in the central nervous system (CNS), which participates in maintenance of a state of cerebrospinal fluid homeostasis. The endothelial cells of the cerebral capillaries and the tight junctions between them form the basis of the BBB. Research has shown that destruction of the BBB is associated with diseases of the CNS. However, there is little research on how the BBB might be protected. In this study, we used a high osmotic solution (1.6 M D-mannitol) to o… Show more

“…9). Other reports support the finding that heat-shock proteins can interact with the TJ; in endothelial cells, an interaction between Hsp70 and ZO-1 has been reported (Lu et al, 2004), and another member of the Hsp70 family, Apg-2, binds to ZO-1, localizes in the TJ and co-precipitates after heat shock (Tsapara et al, 2006). Taken together, we speculate that ZO-1, Src, G␣12 and other components of the TJ complex are in close proximity and/or in Fig.…”

“…If the former, perhaps the preservation of gastrointestinal barrier integrity is of greater clinical relevance for maintaining BBB integrity. From a molecular viewpoint, what is the role of heat shock proteins (e.g., HSP 72) in BBB permeability during heat stress (261,266,402)? Future studies employing known (S100B) and novel [e.g., matrix metalloproteinases (36)] transcerebral markers for BBB permeability in humans, is warranted.…”

“…It is possible that the MIB pathway may be favored over the use of cotransporters in the brain because of lower BBB permeability towards myo-inositol relative to glucose (Pasquali et al, 2010). Interestingly, in mammals, an increase in general permeability of the BBB can be induced by hyperosmotic challenge (Lu et al, 2004;Mackie et al, 1986;Wilhelm et al, 2008). The likely mechanism for this effect is temporary cell shrinkage, which creates openings in the tight junctions between brain capillary endothelial cells (Davson and Segal, 1996).…”
