Extracellular matrix and matrix receptors in blood–brain barrier formation and stroke

Abstract

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is formed primarily to protect the brain microenvironment from the influx of plasma components, which may disturb neuronal functions. The BBB is a functional unit that consists mainly of specialized endothelial cells (ECs) lining the cerebral blood vessels, astrocytes, and pericytes. The BBB is a dynamic structure that is altered in neurologic diseases, such as stroke. ECs and astrocytes secrete extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins to generate and maintain the basement membranes (BMs). ECM receptors, such as integrins and dystroglycan, are also expressed at the brain microvasculature and mediate the connections between cellular and matrix components in physiology and disease. ECM proteins and receptors elicit diverse molecular signals that allow cell adaptation to environmental changes and regulate growth and cell motility. The composition of the ECM is altered upon BBB disruption and directly affects the progression of neurologic disease. The purpose of this review is to discuss the dynamic changes of ECM composition and integrin receptor expression that control BBB functions in physiology and pathology. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Integrins mediate cell signaling by activating extracellular matrix ligands, growth factors, and growth factor receptors, regulating endothelial cell survival, migration, differentiation, adhesion, and polarity.

    “Integrins mediate cell signaling by activating ECM ligands, growth factors, and growth factor receptors, which regulates multiple endothelial cell functions including survival, migration, differentiation, adhesion, and polarity (35).”

    From Blood-Brain Barrier: From Physiology to Disease and Back (2019) · cites this paper as [35]

    In “Matrix Receptors of the BBB” (page unavailable), the paper says integrins signal upon binding ECM ligands, activating latent growth factors, and transactivating growth factor receptors. It links integrins to survival, migration, differentiation, and aspects of endothelial adhesion, but does not say integrins activate ECM ligands or regulate endothelial polarity; its “Endothelial cells” section instead attributes polarization to tight junctions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
