Research Abstract |
The Blood-brain barrier (BBB) strictly controls the exchanges between the blood and the brain compartments by limiting passive diffusion of solutes and facilitating selective efflux of solutes by transporters. Accumulating experimental and clinical evidence indicate that BBB dysfunctions are associated with a number of serious CNS diseases and BBB impermeable drugs-induced neurotoxicity. However, little is known about the biomarker to predict BBB function. In this study, we present evidence that some bioactive substances (TNF-〓, RANTE, and S100A4 etc) in the serum could serve as predictive biomarkers for pathological alterations of the BBB functions.
