Abstract: | In patients withamyloid -related cerebrovascular disorders, e.g., Alzheimer'sdisease, one finds increased deposition of amyloid peptide (A ) andincreased presence of monocyte/microglia cells in the brain. However,relatively little is known of the role of A in the trafficking ofmonocytes across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Our studies show thatinteraction of A 1-40 with monolayer of human brainendothelial cells results in augmented adhesion and transendothelialmigration of monocytic cells (THP-1 and HL-60) and peripheral bloodmonocytes. The A -mediated migration of monocytes was inhibited byantibody to A receptor (RAGE) and platelet endothelial cell adhesionmolecule (PECAM-1). Additionally, A -induced transendothelialmigration of monocytes were inhibited by protein kinase C inhibitor andaugmented by phosphatase inhibitor. We conclude that interaction ofA with RAGE expressed on brain endothelial cells initiates cellularsignaling leading to the transendothelial migration of monocytes. Wesuggest that increased diapedesis of monocytes across the BBB inresponse to A present either in the peripheral circulation or in thebrain parenchyma may play a role in the pathophysiology of A -relatedvascular disorder. |
