Pathogenic Bacteria Exploit Transferrin Receptor Transcytosis to Penetrate the Blood‒Brain Barrier


ABSTRACT: In this study, we present evidence showing that the infection with the major meningitis-causing bacteria, NMEC, GBS and SPN, activates the same fusion process of bacteria-containing vesicles (BCVs) with TfR vesicles, which enables those bacteria to exploit TfR transcytosis to penetrate the BBB, and illustrate the details of this process in HBMECs and mouse models.

The human blood-brain barrier (BBB) comprises a single layer of brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) protecting the brain from bloodborne pathogens. Meningitis is among the most serious diseases, but the mechanisms by which major meningitis-causing bacterial pathogens cross the BBB to reach the brain remain poorly understood. We found that <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>, group B <i>Streptococcus</i>, and neonatal meningitis <i>Escherichia coli</i> commonly exploit a unique vesicle fus  ...[more]
