| Research Abstract |
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is abundant in brain, but its effect on blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability has not been clarified yet. Here, we examined this effect. Transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) of in vitro BBB model, was significantly dose dependently decreased by CNP. CNP treatment reduced both the messenger RNA and protein expressions of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1). The effects on TEER, mRNA, and protein expressions of ZO-1 were mimicked by cyclic GMP (cGMP) analog 8-bromo-cGMP and reversed by protein kinase G (PKG) inhibitor Rp-8-CPT-cGMPS, thus implying the role of PKG and cGMP signaling in BBB function. In vivo study of mouse brain by fluorimetric analysis with intravenous administration of sodium fluorescein also showed a significant increase in BBB permeability by CNP. These findings suggest that CNP modulates the BBB permeability by altering ZO-1.
