- Abstract
Preservation of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) function is a potential protective strategy against cerebral ischemic injuries. CD151 has a beneficial effect in maintaining vascular stability and plays a role in pro-angiogenesis. Both vascular stability and angiogenesis can affect BBB function. Therefore, we aimed to examine the action of CD151 in regulating BBB permeability after cerebral ischemic injury in the present study. Using a transient focal cerebral ischemia (tFCI) rat model, we established that CD151 overexpression in the brain mitigated the leakage of endogenous IgG at 6–24 h after tFCI in vivo. Moreover, we found that CD151 can decrease the diffusion of macromolecules through monolayer brain microvessel endothelial cells (BMVECs) after glucose and oxygen deprivation (OGD)–reoxygenation in vitro. Furthermore, overexpression of CD151 in BMVECs suppressed OGD–reoxygenation-induced F-actin formation and RhoA activity. However, while preserving BBB integrity after tFCI, CD151 overexpression did not affect the post-stroke outcomes. Taken together, the present study demonstrated that CD151 overexpression in the brain protects BBB permeability at early phase after tFCI. CD151 may be a potential target for early BBB protection in ischemic stroke.
