T1  - Addition of NMDA-receptor antagonist MK801 during oxygen/glucose deprivation moderately attenuates the up-regulation of glucose uptake after subsequent reoxygenation in brain endothelial cells
N2  - During stroke the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is damaged which can result in vasogenic brain edema and inflammation. The reduced blood supply leads to decreased delivery of oxygen and glucose to affected areas of the brain. Oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) can cause upregulation of glucose uptake of brain endothelial cells. In this letter, we investigated the influence of MK801, a non-competitive inhibitor of the NMDA-receptor, on the regulation of the glucose uptake and of the main glucose transporters glut1 and sglt1 in murine BBB cell line cerebEND during OGD. mRNA expression of glut1 was upregulated 68.7- fold after 6 h OGD, which was significantly reduced by 10 μM MK801 to 28.9-fold. Sglt1 mRNA expression decreased during OGD which was further reduced by MK801. Glucose uptake was significantly increased up to 907% after 6 h OGD and was still higher (210%) after the 20 h reoxygenation phase compared to normoxia. Ten micromolar MK801 during OGD was able to reduce upregulated glucose uptake after OGD and reoxygenation significantly. Presence of several NMDAR subunits was proven on the mRNA level in cerebEND cells. Furthermore, it was shown that NMDAR subunit NR1 was upregulated during OGD and that this was inhibitable by MK801. In conclusion, the addition of MK801 during the OGD phase reduced significantly the glucose uptake after the subsequent reoxygenation phase in brain endothelial cells.

T1  - Hemorrhagic cerebral insults and secondary Takotsubo syndrome: findings in a novel in vitro model using human blood samples
JF  - International Journal of Molecular Sciences
N2  - Intracranial hemorrhage results in devastating forms of cerebral damage. Frequently, these results also present with cardiac dysfunction ranging from ECG changes to Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). This suggests that intracranial bleeding due to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) disrupts the neuro–cardiac axis leading to neurogenic stress cardiomyopathy (NSC) of different degrees. Following this notion, SAH and secondary TTS could be directly linked, thus contributing to poor outcomes. We set out to test if blood circulation is the driver of the brain–heart axis by investigating serum samples of TTS patients. We present a novel in vitro model combining SAH and secondary TTS to mimic the effects of blood or serum, respectively, on blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity using in vitro monolayers of an established murine model. We consistently demonstrated decreased monolayer integrity and confirmed reduced Claudin-5 and Occludin levels by RT-qPCR and Western blot and morphological reorganization of actin filaments in endothelial cells. Both tight junction proteins show a time-dependent reduction. Our findings highlight a faster and more prominent disintegration of BBB in the presence of TTS and support the importance of the bloodstream as a causal link between intracerebral bleeding and cardiac dysfunction. This may represent potential targets for future therapeutic inventions in SAH and TTS.
