RNA-seq of human cerebromicrovascular endothelial cell line hCMEC/D3 or primary human brain vascular pericytes stimulated with TNF, or S. pneumoniae, in monoculture or in coculture, or stimulated with conditioned media from monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) stimulated with S. pneumoniae, all compared to unstimulated controls

ABSTRACT: The interplay of cerebromicrovascular endothelial cells, pericytes and perivascular macrophages is central to the recruitment of neutrophils across the blood-brain barrier into the brain, and therefore to the CNS inflammatory response. This experiment examined the endothelial response to direct stimulation in the presence or absence of pericytes to explore the effect of co-culture on the endothelial inflammatory response. It also assessed the endothelial response to signalling by monocyte-derived macrophages, modelling perivascular macrophages, the only canonical innate immune cell found within the perivascular space.
