Changes in brain microvessel endothelial cell monolayer permeability induced by adrenergic drugs.

Abstract:

:Brain microvessel endothelial cell monolayers have been shown to be a suitable blood-brain barrier in vitro system to study adrenergic regulation of permeability. We tested adrenergic drugs on bovine brain microvessel endothelial cell monolayer permeability to a biomembrane impermeant molecule, sodium fluorescein. Endogenous catecholamines noradrenaline and adrenaline were tested as well as the alpha-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine, the beta-adrenoceptor agonist clenbuterol and the alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin. Results showed an alpha-adrenoceptor mediated increase and a beta-adrenoceptor mediated decrease in monolayer permeability. Both alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor mediated changes in permeability were abolished by inhibiting fluid-phase pinocytosis, either by vincristine or by avoiding bovine brain microvessel endothelial cell's energy utilization. The reverse transport (i.e., from brain to blood side) was also influenced by adrenergic drugs; alpha- or beta-adrenoceptor stimulation induced a permeability-reducing effect. We conclude that alpha-adrenoceptor stimulation increases bovine brain microvessel endothelial cell monolayer permeability and that beta-adrenoceptor stimulation has the opposite effect. Reverse transport results obtained with beta-adrenoceptor stimulation seem controversial and deserve further study. These results also support in vivo findings that demonstrated adrenergic influences on blood brain barrier permeability.
