ZNF787 and HDAC1 Mediate Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability in an In Vitro Model of Alzheimer's Disease Microenvironment.

The permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is increased in Alzheimer's disease (AD). This plays a key role in the instigation and maintenance of chronic inflammation during AD. Experiments using AD models showed that the increased permeability of the BBB was mainly caused by the decreased expression of tight junction-related proteins occludin and claudin-5.

Transcription factor ZNF22 regulates blood-tumor barrier permeability by interacting with HDAC3 protein.

Objective: The primary goals of this study were to investigate the potential roles of ZNF22 and HDAC3 as a histone deacetylase in regulating an increases in blood-tumor barrier (BTB) permeability and some of the possible molecular mechanisms associated with this effect.

Methods: The expression of ZNF22 and HDAC3 in glioma-exposed endothelial cells (GECs) of BTB were detected transcription real-time PCR or western blot. The interaction of ZNF22 and HDAC3 in GECs associated with transcript effect was analyzed by means of Co-Immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assay.

TARBP2-stablized SNHG7 regulates blood-brain barrier permeability by acting as a competing endogenous RNA to miR-17-5p/NFATC3 in Aβ-microenvironment.

Breakdown of blood-brain barrier (BBB) is recognized as serious pathological marker of Alzheimer's disease development. Studies confirmed that β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition induced high BBB permeability by disrupting tight junction (TJ) proteins formed from endothelial cells (ECs). Here, we found TARBP2, SNHG7 and NFATC3 in expressions were increased and miR-17-5p expression was decreased in Aβ(1-42)-incubated ECs.
