Abstract

Purpose Drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) is limited by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Thus, a noninvasive and reversible method to enhance BBB permeation of drugs is highly desirable. In the present work, we studied if ultrasound-induced mild hyperthermia (USHT, 0.4 watts (W)/cm2 at 41 degrees C) can enhance drug absorption in BBB endothelial cells, and we elucidated the mechanism of USHT on cellular accumulation.Methods To accomplish these aims, we studied the effects of hyperthermia (41 degrees C), USHT, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) modulator (PSC 833), and combination of USHT and PSC 833 on accumulation of P-gp substrate (R123) and non-P-gp substrates (sucrose, 2-deoxyglucose, and antipyrine) in monolayers of primary bovine brain microvessel endothelial cells (BBMEC).Results USHT, through its thermal effect, produces a significant (relative to controls; no USHT) and comparable increase in R123 accumulation with PSC 833. We also demonstrate that USHT increases permeability of hydrophobic (R123 and [14C]-antipyrine) and not hydrophilic molecules ([14C]-sucrose and 2-[3H]-deoxy-D-glucose). The enhanced permeability is reversible and size dependent, as USHT produces a much larger effect on cellular accumulation of [14C]-antitpyrine (molecular weight of 188 D) than that of R123 (molecular weight of 380.8 D). Although USHT increases membrane permeability, it did not affect P-gp activity or the activity of glucose transporters.Conclusions Our results point to the potential use of USHT as a reversible and noninvasive approach to increase BBB permeation of hydrophobic drugs, including P-gp-recognized substrates.

  • Ultrasound has been implicated as potential approach to promote cell entry owing to ultrasound-induced mild hyperthermia and cell membrane deformation.

    “Additionally, ultrasound has also been implicated as a potential approach to promote cell entry owing to ultrasound-induced mild hyperthermia and cell membrane deformation [176, 177].”

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.
