Description
Bovine Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells (BBMVEC) provide an excellent model system to study many aspects of endothelial function and disease, especially those related to the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
BBMVEC from Cell Applications, Inc. have been utilized extensively in research, for example to:
- Show that alkalosis activates ERK in aortic, but not brain microvascular endothelial cells
- Study the mechanisms of blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration by fungal pathogens during invasion
- Demonstrate opposite effects of osteoponin isoforms on angiogenesisin
- Develop an in vitro capillary assay and show VEGF secretion by endothelial cells
- Investigate the mechanisms of accumulation and effects of amyloid deposits on brain vasculature in cerebral amyloid angiopathy
- Improve drug loading and delivery stealth dendrimer carriers
- Report that the BBB breaks down under hypoxic conditions
- In indicate that increased contractility and oxidative stress are involved in development of post-stroke brain edema
- Exhibit blood-brain barrier (BBB) function can result from shear stress, acting through a pathway that upregulates key factors and increases their localization to tight junctions
- Demonstrate that brain microvascular endothelial cells show higher sensitivity to oxidative stress generated by advanced glycation end products due to stronger VEGF expression leading to increased permeability
- Show, along with Bovine Aortic Endothelial Cells, that brain microvasculature is more sensitive to pathogenesis, compared to large vessel endothelia,
- Demonstrate that C-reactive protein (CRP), a cardiovascular risk factor, induces higher oxidative stress in the brain microvasculature
- Support the key role of ROS by showing that activation of antioxidant genes by Nrf2 reduces brain vascular leak from acute high altitude exposure known to induce ROS
- Determine that IL-1β, ZYM, and LTA increase the permeability of the BBB to small ions, while TNF-α and lipopolysaccharide disrupt the endothelial layer integrity to allow passage of larger molecules
- Investigate the role of basolateral environment in modulating BBB by regulating expression and biochemical properties of the tight junction proteins, occludin and ZO-1
- Show that during cerebral ischemia increased expression of TWEAK and Fn14 in the endothelial-astrocyte interface facilitating leukocyte transmigration and recruitment to the ischemic tissue
- Demonstrate that apigenin, a dietary flavonoid, activates Ca2+-activated K+ channels in endothelial cells leading to a hyperpolarization followed by a Ca2+ influx causing increased NO production followed by Akt dephosphorylation
- Develop gene and drug delivery methods for crossing the BBB based on polymer-based nanoparticles or adenovirus or gold nanoparticles modified to be transported via transcytosis pathway
