Abstract

The expression of the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) receptor CCR2 by brain endothelial cells suggests that MCP-1 may have other functions than purely driving leukocyte migration into brain parenchyma during inflammation. This study examines one of these potential novel roles of MCP-1 regulation of endothelial permeability using primary cultures of mouse brain endothelial cells. MCP-1 induces reorganization of actin cytoskeleton (stress fiber formation) and redistribution of tight junction proteins, ZO-1, ZO-2 occludin and claudin-5, from the Triton X-100-soluble to the Triton X-100-insoluble fractions. These morphological changes are associated with a decrease in transendothelial electrical membrane resistance and an increase in [14C]inulin permeability. MCP-1 did not induce these events in brain endothelial cells prepared from mice genotype CCR2-/-. The Rho kinase inhibitor Y27632 and inhibition of Rho (C3 exoenzyme, and dominant negative mutant of Rho, RhoT19N) prevented MCP-1-induced stress fiber assembly, reorganization of tight junction proteins and alterations in endothelial permeability. In all, this suggests that a small GTPase Rho and Rho kinase have a pivotal role in MCP-1-induced junction disarrangement. These data are the first to strongly suggest that MCP-1, via CCR2 present on brain endothelial cells, contributes to increased brain endothelial permeability.

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.
