Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleOpiates Upregulate Adhesion Molecule Expression in Brain MicroVascular Endothelial Cells (BMVEC): Implications for Altered Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) PermeabilityMadhavan P.N. Nair, Supriya D. Mahajan, Jessica L. ReynoldsThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an intricate cellular system composed of vascular endothelial cells and perivascular astrocytes that restrict the passage of immunocompetent cells into the central nervous system (CNS). Expression of the adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVEC) and their interaction with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHOMOLOGY MODELING AND MOLECULAR DYNAMICS STUDIES OF EC1 DOMAIN OF VE-CADHERIN TO ELUCIDATE DOCKING INTERACTION WITH CADHERIN-DERIVED PEPTIDEVivitri Dewi Prasasty, Usman Sumo Friend Tambunan, Teruna Jaya SiahaanVE-cadherin is a protein in the cadherin family that is found at the adherens junctions of the microvessel endothelial cells of the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB). It is recognized as the homotypic cell adhesion molecules and there is limited structural information on how VE-cadherins mediate cell-cell adhesion. It has been shown that the EC1 domain of cadherins is important for the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2014 · 7,530 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Quercetin Encapsulated Liposomes via Nasal Administration: A Novel Cognitive EnhancerTerdthai Tong-un, Supaporn Muchimapura, Wathita Phachonpai, Jintanaporn WattanathornProblem statement: Demand for cognitive-enhancing drugs is growing. Numerous medicinal plants possessing antioxidant activity have received much attention as food supplement to improve cognitive function. Quercetin is a potent free radical scavenger and antioxidant. However, the limitations of quercetin: Rapidly metabolized is an obstacle to its use for a cognitive enhancer. In addition, the burden of blood brain barrier can … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNeuroprotective Effect of Quercetin Encapsulated Liposomes: A Novel Therapeutic Strategy against Alzheimer’s DiseaseW. Phachonpai, J. Wattanathorn, S. Muchimapura et al.Problem statement: The prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease is increasing but the efficacy of treatment is still very limited due to various factors including the blood brain barrier. Recent findings demonstrated the crucial role of oxidative stress on the pathophysiology of disease. In addition the burden of blood brain barrier can be overcome by nasal administration and vesicle-carrier mediated delivery system. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 9,449 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Pathology of Alzheimer Disease Elicits an In Vivo Immunological ResponseDavid J. Bonda, Kate M. Webber, Sandra L. Siedlak et al.The mechanism(s) responsible for the loss of neurons that characterizes Alzheimer disease is incompletely understood. Nonetheless, there is considerable evidence suggestive of immune abnormalities coupled to alterations in blood-brain barrier permeability that likely play a key role in both the etiology and progression of the disease. To examine these issues further, this study was designed to examine the presence of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,115 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAstrocytes Store for Memory and CognitionMajid Karimi BaghmalekiIn humans, protoplasmic astrocytes are found with high density in the cortex and hippocampus (both parts responsible for memory and cognition) and each astrocyte is in contact with two million of synapses. Astrocytes are responsible for the synaptogenesis and the removal of synapses, which is the basis of learning and memory. The synaptogenesis increases sevenfold with the addition of astrocytes … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 21 Apr 2021 · 17,209 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCocaine: A Catalyst for Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Associated DementiaNavneet K. Dhillon, Milind Gadgil, Andy Rahardja et al.Injection drug use has been recognized as a major risk factor for AIDS from the outset of the epidemic. Cocaine, one of the most widely abused drugs in the United States can both impair the functions of macrophages and CD4+ lymphocytes and also activate HIV-1 expression in these cells. Cocaine is a multifactorial agent that acts globally to impair the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAMINO ACID TRANSPORTERS IN DRUG DISCOVERYMariafrancesca Scalise, Lorena Pochini, Michele Galluccio, Cesare IndiveriAdministered drugs interact with membrane transporters of epithelia, Blood Brain Barrier and other districts influencing their delivery and efficacy. Drugs can also be used as inhibitors of transporters involved in human pathology. Drug-transporter interactions are responsible of off-target effects contributing to toxicity. High Throughput Screening technologies increased the potential applications in therapy or in predicting side effects. These strategies will … …Current Research in Drug Discovery, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 2 Oct 2014 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCognitive-Enhancing and Antioxidant Activities of Quercetin Liposomes in Animal Model of Alzheimer's DiseaseTerdthai Tong-un, Panakaporn Wannanon, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Wathita PhachonpaiProblem statement: Recent findings demonstrated the crucial role of oxidative stress on the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Antioxidant intake is beneficial to delay or inhibit the progression of this disease. Quercetin, a bioflavonoid in fruits and vegetables, has a powerful antioxidant activity both in vitro and in vivo. Claims that quercetin has many biological activities. However, quercetin is rapidly … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,880 accessesView PDFCite
