PG - 153139 LID - S0300-483X(22)00051-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.tox.2022.153139 [doi] AB - N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA), a glutamate analog, can activate N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptor (NMDAR) to induce vascular endothelial cell injury but the mechanisms are not fully understood. The present study intended to evaluate the role of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in NMDA-induced dysfunction of human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBEC-5i), and verify that endothelial NMDAR activation mediates the disruption of tight junction barrier integrity via extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 pathway. The expression of NMDAR NR1 were confirmed firstly in HBEC-5i and compared with that in mouse brain by Western blot. To study the role of Cav-1 in NMDA mediated reduction of tight junction protein zonula occludens- (ZO) 1 expression, HBEC-5i were transduced with Cav-1 shRNA or Control shRNA, and the Cav-1 knockdown rate tested with qRT-PCR and Western blot is 99.98% or 87.5%, respectively. NMDA exposure decreased mRNA and protein levels of tight junction protein ZO-1 and suppressed transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) values in HBEC-5i but blocked by NMDAR antagonist MK801. In addition, NMDA induced Cav-1 and ERK1/2 sequential phosphorylation,but these effects were attenuated by silencing the Cav-1 gene with shRNA and ERK1/2 inhibitor U0126, respectively. These results show that the functional presence of NMDAR NR1 in HBEC-5i. Endothelial NMDAR NR1 activation regulate the maintenance of HBEC-5i-constructed tight junction barrier integrity via the caveolin-1-associated ERK1/2 signaling pathway.
