NanoString analysis of mouse brain endothelial cells in response to peripheral LPS treatment.


ABSTRACT: Four daily intraperitoneal injections of the Gram-negative bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) transiently protects the cerebral cortex against traumatic brain injury. Underlying mechanisms associated with this neuroprotection include increased neuronal production of anti-apoptotic and neurotrophic molecules, microglial-mediated displacement of inhibitory presynaptic terminals innervating the soma of cortical projection neurons, and synchronized firing of cortical projection neurons. The molecular mechanisms responsible for inducing this neuroprotection and microglial activation are unknown. A fundamental question is whether LPS enters the central nervous system (CNS) or mediates it actions on the luminal surface of brain endothelial cells. In this study, we demonstrate that LPS injected into the peritoneum does not enter the CNS or alter tight junctions of brain endothelial cells. However, LPS activation of vascular endothelial cells was substantiated by increased expression of activation markers (CD54 and CD105) and the LPS receptor, TLR4, on CD31-positive brain endothelial cells isolated by flow cytometry. Transcript analyses further revealed significant upregulation of Cxcl10, C3, Ccl2, Il1b, Cxcl2, and Cxcl1 in these activated endothelial cells, consistent with identification of MyD88 as a regulator of these transcripts by pathway analysis. Using conditional brain endothelial gene ablation strategies, we establish that MyD88-dependent endothelial TLR4 signaling and endothelial Cxcl10 expression are essential for LPS-induced neuroprotection and microglial activation. CXCL10 production by brain endothelial cells in response to circulating TLR ligands thus provides a pathway to directly or indirectly signal to CXCR3 on neurons and/or microglia. Targeting activation of brain endothelial receptors provides an attractive and practical approach for inducing transient neuroprotection.
