T1 |
0-161 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Immunohistochemistry of matrix metalloproteinases in reperfusion injury to rat brain: activation of MMP-9 linked to stromelysin-1 and microglia in cell cultures. |
T2 |
162-212 |
DRI_Unspecified |
denotes |
Reperfusion damages the blood-brain barrier (BBB). |
T3 |
213-362 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are associated with the opening of the BBB, but their cellular localization and activation mechanisms are uncertain. |
T4 |
363-512 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
We used immunohistochemistry to determine the cellular localization of the MMPs in reperfused rat brain, and cell cultures to study their activation. |
T5 |
513-658 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) had a 90 min middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) followed by reperfusion for times from 3 h to 21 days. |
T6 |
659-783 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Frozen sections were immunostained with antibodies to gelatinase A (MMP-2), stromelysin-1 (MMP-3), and gelatinase B (MMP-9). |
T7 |
784-817 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Sham-operated control rats showed |
T8 |
818-838 |
Token_Label.OUTSIDE |
denotes |
MMP-2 immunostaining |
T9 |
839-885 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
in astrocytic processes next to blood vessels. |
T10 |
886-923 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
After 3 h of the onset of reperfusion |
T11 |
924-944 |
Token_Label.OUTSIDE |
denotes |
MMP-2 immunostaining |
T12 |
945-969 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
increased in astrocytes. |
T13 |
970-1024 |
DRI_Unspecified |
denotes |
At 24 h immunoreactivity for MMP-3 and MMP-9 appeared. |
T14 |
1025-1030 |
REPLACED |
denotes |
MMP-3 |
T15 |
1031-1043 |
Token_Label.OUTSIDE |
denotes |
co-localized |
T16 |
1044-1107 |
DRI_Unspecified |
denotes |
with activated microglia (Ox-42+) and ischemic neurons (NeuN+). |
T17 |
1108-1113 |
REPLACED |
denotes |
MMP-9 |
T18 |
1114-1128 |
Token_Label.OUTSIDE |
denotes |
immunostaining |
T19 |
1129-1193 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
was seen at 48 h in endothelial cells, neutrophils, and neurons. |
T20 |
1194-1291 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
At 5 and 21 days intense MMP-2 staining was seen in reactive astrocytes around the ischemic core. |
T21 |
1292-1407 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Studies of activation of the MMP were done in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated astrocyte and microglia cultures. |
T22 |
1408-1466 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Stimulated astrocytes produced an activated form of MMP-2. |
T23 |
1467-1520 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
When microglia were stimulated, they activated MMP-9. |
T24 |
1521-1590 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Immunostaining showed MMP-3 in cultures of enriched microglial cells. |
T25 |
1591-1710 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
The hydroxymate-type, MMP inhibitor, BB-1101, blocked the activation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 by LPS in mixed glial cultures. |
T26 |
1711-1831 |
DRI_Challenge |
denotes |
We propose that MMP-2 is normally present in astrocytic end feet, and that during ischemia MMP-9 and MMP-3 are produced. |
T27 |
1832-1890 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
MMP-3 in microglia/macrophages may be activating proMMP-9. |
T28 |
1891-2069 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Our results show that a differential expression of MMPs by astrocytes, microglia, and endothelial cells at the blood vessels is involved in the proteolytic disruption of the BBB. |
