BBB dysfunction during aging is characterized by an increase in its permeability and phenotypic alterations of brain endothelial cells (BECs) including dysregulation of tight junction's expression. Here we have investigated the role of BEC senescence in the dysfunction of the BBB. Our results suggest that the transition from young to aged BBB is mediated, at least in part by BEC senescence.
随着年龄的增长,BBB 的功能障碍表现为通透性增加和脑内皮细胞(BEC)表型改变,包括紧密连接表达失调。在此,我们研究了 BEC 衰老在 BBB 功能障碍中的作用。我们的结果表明,从年轻 BBB 向衰老 BBB 的转变至少部分是由 BEC 衰老介导的。
