Abstract：
:Brain capillaries form a selective interface, the blood-brain barrier (BBB), between the neural parenchyma and the blood. The factors which regulate this interface are poorly understood. Both the iris and retina possess vascular beds that express some BBB characteristics; therefore, they provide attractive models to further our understanding of how blood-tissue interfaces are regulated. We have determined whether three BBB markers: the transferrin receptor, P-glycoprotein, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GTP), can be localized in the capillaries of the rat retina and iris. We have also compared, in retina and iris, the relationship which GFAP-positive cells have with the blood vessels to the expression of the three BBB markers by the vessels. Immunocytochemistry revealed that capillaries throughout the retina express P-glycoprotein and the transferrin receptor. Retinal vessels do not show detectable gamma-GTP activity. GFAP-positive cells ensheath capillaries in the nerve fibre layer of the retina. Of the three BBB characteristics we examined, iridial vessels expressed only one of them: P-glycoprotein. In the iris, GFAP-positive cells do not ensheath capillaries. From our results we conclude that all BBB characteristics do not have to be expressed and regulated in capillaries as a unit. Our results, in combination with those of earlier studies, suggest that the expression of some BBB features does not require intimate contact between capillaries and astrocytes or astrocyte-like cells. Barrier maintenance appears to be a complex process which involves the integration of several factors.
