Blood-Brain Barrier: From Physiology to Disease and Back

Physiological Reviews, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 99(1), P. 21 - 78

Published: Oct. 3, 2018

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents neurotoxic plasma components, blood cells, and pathogens from entering the brain. At same time, BBB regulates transport of molecules into out central nervous system (CNS), which maintains tightly controlled chemical composition neuronal milieu that is required for proper functioning. In this review, we first examine molecular cellular mechanisms underlying establishment BBB. Then, focus on physiology, endothelial pericyte transporters, perivascular paravascular transport. Next, discuss rare human monogenic neurological disorders with primary genetic defect in BBB-associated cells demonstrating link between breakdown neurodegeneration. review effects genes inheritance and/or increased susceptibility Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's (PD), Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) relation to other pathologies deficits. We next how dysfunction relates deficits majority sporadic AD, PD, ALS cases, multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative disorders, acute CNS such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord epilepsy. Lastly, BBB-based therapeutic opportunities. conclude lessons learned future directions, emphasis technological advances investigate functions living brain, at level, address key unanswered questions.

Comparative cellular analysis of motor cortex in human, marmoset and mouse

Nature, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 598(7879), P. 111 - 119

Published: Oct. 6, 2021

Abstract The primary motor cortex (M1) is essential for voluntary fine-motor control and functionally conserved across mammals 1 . Here, using high-throughput transcriptomic epigenomic profiling of more than 450,000 single nuclei in humans, marmoset monkeys mice, we demonstrate a broadly cellular makeup this region, with similarities that mirror evolutionary distance are consistent between the transcriptome epigenome. core molecular identities neuronal non-neuronal cell types allow us to generate cross-species consensus classification types, infer properties species. Despite overall conservation, however, many species-dependent specializations apparent, including differences cell-type proportions, gene expression, DNA methylation chromatin state. Few marker genes species, revealing short list candidate regulatory mechanisms responsible features homologous such as GABAergic chandelier cells. This allows use patch–seq (a combination whole-cell patch-clamp recordings, RNA sequencing morphological characterization) identify corticospinal Betz cells from layer 5 non-human primates characterize their highly specialized physiology anatomy. These findings highlight robust underpinnings diversity M1 mammals, point pathways functional identity species-specific adaptations.

Cell Types of the Human Retina and Its Organoids at Single-Cell Resolution

Cell, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 182(6), P. 1623 - 1640.e34

Published: Sept. 1, 2020

Human organoids recapitulating the cell-type diversity and function of their target organ are valuable for basic translational research. We developed light-sensitive human retinal with multiple nuclear synaptic layers functional synapses. sequenced RNA 285,441 single cells from these at seven developmental time points periphery, fovea, pigment epithelium choroid light-responsive adult retinas, performed histochemistry. Cell types in matured vitro to a stable "developed" state rate similar retina development vivo. Transcriptomes organoid cell converged toward transcriptomes peripheral types. Expression disease-associated genes was cell-type-specific retina, specificity retained organoids. implicate unexpected diseases such as macular degeneration. This resource identifies cellular targets studying disease mechanisms targeted repair retinas.
