MiR-155 promotes blood-brain barrier dysfunction in neuroinflammation (part 2)

ABSTRACT: Over-expression of miR-155 induces changes in the pattern of gene expression of hCMEC/D3 cells. hypothesis tested in the present study was that miR-155 constitute an important regulatory control of the brain endothelial response to inflammatory cytokines. To identify miR-155 target genes in brain endothelim that might be implicated in BBB dysfunction relevant to human disease, we then analysed changes in mRNA expression of hCMEC/D3 cells that overexpress miR-155 and results were contrasted to cells transfected with scrambled miR. To ectopically express miR-155 in hCMEC/D3 cells, 30 nM of pre-miR-155 and the siPORT Amine transfection agent (Applied Biosystems, Warrington, UK) were combined following the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions.

Project description:Qosa2014 - Mechanistic modeling that describes Aβ clearance across BBB Qosa2014 - Mechanistic modeling that describes Aβ clearance across BBB. Encoded non-curated model. Issues: - Confusing equation 6 - Missing initial values for spices This model is described in the article: Differences in amyloid-? clearance across mouse and human blood-brain barrier models: kinetic analysis and mechanistic modeling. Qosa H, Abuasal BS, Romero IA, Weksler B, Couraud PO, Keller JN, Kaddoumi A. Neuropharmacology 2014 Apr; 79: 668-678 Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) has a characteristic hallmark of amyloid-? (A?) accumulation in the brain. This accumulation of A? has been related to its faulty cerebral clearance. Indeed, preclinical studies that used mice to investigate A? clearance showed that efflux across blood-brain barrier (BBB) and brain degradation mediate efficient A? clearance. However, the contribution of each process to A? clearance remains unclear. Moreover, it is still uncertain how species differences between mouse and human could affect A? clearance. Here, a modified form of the brain efflux index method was used to estimate the contribution of BBB and brain degradation to A? clearance from the brain of wild type mice. We estimated that 62% of intracerebrally injected (125)I-A?40 is cleared across BBB while 38% is cleared by brain degradation. Furthermore, in vitro and in silico studies were performed to compare A? clearance between mouse and human BBB models. Kinetic studies for A?40 disposition in bEnd3 and hCMEC/D3 cells, representative in vitro mouse and human BBB models, respectively, demonstrated 30-fold higher rate of (125)I-A?40 uptake and 15-fold higher rate of degradation by bEnd3 compared to hCMEC/D3 cells. Expression studies showed both cells to express different levels of P-glycoprotein and RAGE, while LRP1 levels were comparable. Finally, we established a mechanistic model, which could successfully predict cellular levels of (125)I-A?40 and the rate of each process. Established mechanistic model suggested significantly higher rates of A? uptake and degradation in bEnd3 cells as rationale for the observed differences in (125)I-A?40 disposition between mouse and human BBB models. In conclusion, current study demonstrates the important role of BBB in the clearance of A? from the brain. Moreover, it provides insight into the differences between mouse and human BBB with regards to A? clearance and offer, for the first time, a mathematical model that describes A? clearance across BBB.
