Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Brain microvessel endothelial cells (BMECs) were differentiated from human iPS cells. In vitro blood brain barrier model was constructed with human iPS cell-derived BMECs. Barrier functions were investigated by changing the cell culture conditions. We found that BBB functions were severe impaired on hypoxia condition and low-glucose condition. Furthermore, BBB barrier was weakened by the inflammatory cytokine TNF-a. Thus, we constructed in vitro BBB ischemic model by using human iPS cells.
