Fasting is increasingly recognized as a potential therapeutic intervention in the field of neurology and psychiatry. However, its impact upon the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which strictly regulates the cerebral uptake of a wide range of endogenous compounds and drugs, is unknown. In this study we us...

Although type III interferons (IFN), also known as IFN-λ or IL28/IL-29, restrict infection by several viruses, their mechanism of inhibitory action has remained uncertain. We used recombinant IFN-λ and mice lacking the IFN-λ receptor (IFNLR1) to evaluate the effect of IFN-λ on infection with West Ni...

The insulin receptor (INSR) mediates insulin signaling to modulate cellular functions. Although INSR is expressed at the blood-brain barrier (BBB), its role in the modulation of BBB function is poorly understood. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to analyze the effect of INSR knockdown on the expre...

Using mice with targeted gene mutations, we identify (1) distinct roles for different canonical Wnt signaling components in central nervous system (CNS) vascular development and in the specification of the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers (BBB and BRB) and (2) differential sensitivities of the ...

Deubiquitinase USP9X regulates Wnt-signaling to control CNS vascular formation and barrier maintenance
Epidermal deletion of the lipid modifying enzyme CerS4 causes epidermal barrier impairments associated with human skin diseases. Proteomes of Wt newborn and P47 mice were compared in order to identify molecular differences between barrier formation and maintenance. Proteomes of epidermal splits from...

Deubiquitinase USP9X regulates Wnt-signaling to control CNS vascular formation and barrier maintenance [Human]
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) consists of specific physical barriers, enzymes and transporters, which together maintain the necessary extracellular environment of the central nervous system (CNS). The main physical barrier is found in the CNS endothelial cell, and depends on continuous complexes of ...

Glomerular podocyte cells are critical for the function of the renal ultrafiltration barrier. The highly specialized cell-cell junction of podocytes, the slit diaphragm, has a central role in the filtration barrier. Dendrin is a poorly characterized cytosolic component of the slit diaphragm in where...
