Expression of neuropeptide Y receptors mRNA and protein in human brain vessels and cerebromicrovascular cells in culture. (1/432)

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been suggested as an important regulator of CBF. However, except for the presence of Y1 receptors in large cerebral arteries, little is known about its possible sites of action on brain vessels. In this study, we sought to identify the NPY receptors present in the human cerebrovascular bed. Specific Y1 receptor binding sites, localized on the smooth muscle of human pial vessels and potently competed by NPY, polypeptide YY (PYY), and the selective Y1 receptor antagonist BIBP 3226, were identified by quantitative radioautography of the Y1 radioligand [125I]-[Leu31, Pro34]-PYY. In contrast, no specific binding of the Y2-([125I]-PYY3-36) and Y4/Y5-(125I-human pancreatic polypeptide [hPP]) radioligands could be detected. By in situ hybridization, expression of Y1 receptor mRNA was restricted to the smooth muscle layer of pial vessels, whereas no specific signals were detected for either Y2, Y4, or Y5 receptors. Similarly, using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), mRNA for Y1 but not Y2, Y4, or Y5 receptors was consistently detected in isolated human pial vessels, intracortical microvessels, and capillaries. In human brain microvascular cells in culture, PCR products for the Y1 receptors were exclusively found in the smooth muscle cells. In cultures of human brain astrocytes, a cell type that associates intimately with brain microvessels, PCR products for Y1, Y2, and Y4 but not Y5 receptors were identified. Finally, NPY significantly inhibited the forskolin-induced cAMP production in smooth muscle but not in endothelial cell cultures. We conclude that smooth muscle Y1 receptors are the primary if not exclusive NPY receptors associated with human brain extraparenchymal and intraparenchymal blood vessels, where they most likely mediate cerebral vasoconstriction.  (+info)

Language outcome following multiple subpial transection for Landau-Kleffner syndrome. (2/432)

Landau-Kleffner syndrome is an acquired epileptic aphasia occurring in normal children who lose previously acquired speech and language abilities. Although some children recover some of these abilities, many children with Landau-Kleffner syndrome have significant language impairments that persist. Multiple subpial transection is a surgical technique that has been proposed as an appropriate treatment for Landau-Kleffner syndrome in that it is designed to eliminate the capacity of cortical tissue to generate seizures or subclinical epileptiform activity, while preserving the cortical functions subserved by that tissue. We report on the speech and language outcome of 14 children who underwent multiple subpial transection for treatment of Landau-Kleffner syndrome. Eleven children demonstrated significant postoperative improvement on measures of receptive or expressive vocabulary. Results indicate that early diagnosis and treatment optimize outcome, and that gains in language function are most likely to be seen years, rather than months, after surgery. Since an appropriate control group was not available, and that the best predictor of postoperative improvements in language function was that of length of time since surgery, these data might best be used as a benchmark against other Landau-Kleffner syndrome outcome studies. We conclude that multiple subpial transection may be useful in allowing for a restoration of speech and language abilities in children diagnosed with Landau-Kleffner syndrome.  (+info)

Influence of platelet-activating factor on cerebral microcirculation in rats: part 2. Local application. (3/432)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is involved in the development of secondary brain damage after ischemic and traumatic brain injury. On the basis of data from studies in peripheral organs, we hypothesized that PAF-mediated effects after cerebral injury could be secondary to alterations in cerebral microcirculation. METHODS: Changes in cerebral microcirculation focusing on leukocyte-endothelium interactions were quantified with the use of a closed cranial window model in Sprague-Dawley rats (n=33) by means of intravital fluorescence microscopy. The brain surface was superfused with PAF in concentrations from 10(-3) (n=3) to 10(-12) mol/L (n=6) for 20 minutes (5 mL/h). RESULTS: PAF 10(-4) mol/L (n=4) increased the number of rolling and adherent leukocytes in venules from 9.7+/-0.4 to 19.7+/-2.3 cells/100 mm. min (P=NS versus control) and from 2.2+/-0.5 to 4.3+/-0.7 cells/100 mm. min (P<0.05 versus control), respectively. Lower concentrations did not elicit leukocyte-endothelium interactions. Vessel diameters remained unchanged except for a transient increase of arteriolar diameters during superfusion with PAF 10(-4) and 10(-6) mol/L (n=6). Although only a limited area of the brain surface was exposed to PAF, the mediator induced a significant dose-dependent transitory arterial hypotension and caused irreversible circulatory shock at the high concentration (PAF 10(-3) mol/L). Arterial hypotension after administration of PAF 10(-3) mol/L could be attenuated by the intravenous pretreatment with the PAF antagonist WEB 2170BS. CONCLUSIONS: PAF, when locally released after brain injury, can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and induce systemic effects, including arterial hypotension. Its role as a mediator in the development of secondary brain damage seems, at least in the initial phase, not to be associated with disturbances of cerebral microcirculation or activation of leukocytes.  (+info)

MR of CNS sarcoidosis: correlation of imaging features to clinical symptoms and response to treatment. (4/432)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic systemic granulomatous disease, recognized in a patient when clinical and radiologic findings are confirmed by histopathologic analysis. The objective was to identify a relationship between MR imaging and clinical findings in CNS sarcoidosis. METHODS: The clinical charts of 461 patients with biopsy-proved sarcoidosis were reviewed retrospectively. Criteria for including patients in the study included those with symptoms referable to the CNS, excluding those with another explanation for their symptoms, those with headaches or other subjective complaints without accompanying objective findings, and those with peripheral neuropathy other than cranial nerve involvement or myopathy without CNS manifestations. Thirty-four of 38 patients whose conditions met the criteria for CNS sarcoidosis underwent a total of 82 MR examinations. The positive imaging findings were divided into categories as follows: pachymeningeal, leptomeningeal, nonenhancing brain parenchymal, enhancing brain parenchymal, cranial nerve, and spinal cord and nerve root involvement. Treatment response, clinical symptomatology, and any available histopathologic studies were analyzed with respect to imaging manifestations in each of the categories. RESULTS: Eighty-two percent of the patients with sarcoidosis with neurologic symptoms referable to the CNS had findings revealed by MR imaging. However, eight (40%) of 20 cranial nerve deficits seen at clinical examination of 13 patients were not seen at contrast-enhanced MR imaging, and 50% of the patients with symptoms referable to the pituitary axis had no abnormal findings on routine contrast-enhanced MR images. In contradistinction, 44% of 18 cranial nerves in nine patients with MR evidence of involvement had no symptoms referable to the involved cranial nerve. Clinical and radiologic deterioration occurred more commonly with leptomeningeal and enhancing brain parenchymal lesions. CONCLUSION: MR imaging can be used to confirm clinical suspicion and to show subclinical disease and the response of pathologic lesions to treatment.  (+info)

VEGF increases permeability of the blood-brain barrier via a nitric oxide synthase/cGMP-dependent pathway. (5/432)

It appears that the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is increased during brain injury and thus may contribute to disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) during cerebrovascular trauma. The first goal of this study was to determine the effect of VEGF on permeability of the BBB in vivo. The second goal was to determine possible cellular mechanisms by which VEGF increases permeability of the BBB. We examined the pial microcirculation in rats using intravital fluorescence microscopy. Permeability of the BBB [clearance of FITC-labeled dextran of molecular mass 10,000 Da (FITC-dextran-10K)] and diameter of pial arterioles were measured in absence and presence of VEGF (0.01 and 0.1 nM). During superfusion with vehicle (saline), clearance of FITC-dextran-10K from pial vessels was minimal and diameter of pial arterioles remained constant. Topical application of VEGF (0.01 nM) did not alter permeability of the BBB to FITC-dextran-10K or arteriolar diameter. However, superfusion with VEGF (0.1 nM) produced a marked increase in clearance of FITC-dextran-10K and a modest dilatation of pial arterioles. To determine a potential role for nitric oxide and stimulation of soluble guanylate cyclase in VEGF-induced increases in permeability of the BBB and arteriolar dilatation, we examined the effects of NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA; 10 microM) and 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ; 1.0 microM), respectively. L-NMMA and ODQ inhibited VEGF-induced increases in permeability of the BBB and arteriolar dilatation. The findings of the present study suggest that VEGF, which appears to be increased in brain tissue during cerebrovascular trauma, increases the permeability of the BBB via the synthesis/release of nitric oxide and subsequent activation of soluble guanylate cyclase.  (+info)

Carbon monoxide and cerebral microvascular tone in newborn pigs. (6/432)

The present study addresses the hypothesis that CO produced from endogenous heme oxygenase (HO) can dilate newborn cerebral arterioles. HO-2 protein was highly expressed in large and small blood vessels, as well as parenchyma, of newborn pig cerebrum. Topically applied CO dose-dependently dilated piglet pial arterioles in vivo over the range 10(-11)-10(-9) M (maximal response). CO-induced cerebrovascular dilation was abolished by treatment with the Ca2+-activated K+ channel inhibitors tetraethylammonium chloride and iberiotoxin. The HO substrate heme-L-lysinate also produced tetraethylammonium-inhibitable, dose-dependent dilation from 5 x 10(-8) to 5 x 10(-7) M (maximal). The HO inhibitor chromium mesoporphyrin blocked dilation of pial arterioles in response to heme-L-lysinate. In addition to inhibiting dilation to heme-L-lysinate, chromium mesoporphyrin also blocked pial arteriolar dilations in response to hypoxia but did not alter responses to hypercapnia or isoproterenol. We conclude that CO dilates pial arterioles via activation of Ca2+-activated K+ channels and that endogenous HO-2 potentially can produce sufficient CO to produce the dilation.  (+info)

Tortuous, engorged pial veins in intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas: correlations with presentation, location, and MR findings in 122 patients. (7/432)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Tortuous, engorged veins can be identified on the venous phase of the brain circulation in patients with venous congestion related to an intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF). The term pseudophlebitic pattern (PPP) has been used to describe this finding. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of PPP in patients with intracranial DAVF and to analyze the relationship of this sign to presentation, location of the fistula, presence of retrograde leptomeningeal venous drainage, and MR findings. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts and imaging findings of 130 patients with intracranial DAVF. In 122 patients the venous phase of the brain circulation was adequately assessed. The PPP was graded as mild, moderate, or severe. RESULTS: PPP was found in 51 patients (42%). Thirty-two (73%) of the 44 patients who had a hemorrhage, neurologic deficit, or seizure had PPP as compared with 16 (21%) of the 75 who had a bruit or orbital signs. The three patients with either congestive heart failure or increasing head circumference had PPP. Fourteen (88%) of the 16 who had fistula of the superior sagittal sinus, straight sinus, or superior petrosal sinus had PPP. PPP was seen in 46 (81%) of 57 patients who had retrograde leptomeningeal venous drainage and in five (8%) of the 65 who had only sinosal drainage. Fourteen (88%) of the 16 who had white matter T2 hyperintensity on MR images had severe PPP. CONCLUSION: The PPP reflects venous congestion and is associated with an aggressive presentation with or without retrograde leptomeningeal venous drainage. PPP may be a useful prognostic indicator and should be considered in treatment decisions.  (+info)

Effects of melatonin on rat pial arteriolar diameter in vivo. (8/432)

1. Based on our finding that melatonin decreased the lower limit of cerebral blood flow autoregulation in rat, we previously suggested that melatonin constricts cerebral arterioles. The goal of this study was to demonstrate this vasoconstrictor action and investigate the mechanisms involved. 2. The effects of cumulative doses of melatonin (10-10 to 10-6 M) were examined in cerebral arterioles (30 - 50 microM) of male Wistar rats using an open skull preparation. Cerebral arterioles were exposed to two doses of melatonin (3x10-9 and 3x10-8 M) in the absence and presence of the mt1 and/or MT2 receptor antagonist, luzindole (2x10-6 M) and the Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channel blocker, tetraethylammonium (TEA+, 10(-4) M). The effect of L-nitro arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 10-8 M) was examined on arterioles after TEA+ superfusion. Cerebral arterioles were also exposed to the BKCa activator, NS1619 (10(-5) M), and to sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 10-8 M) in the absence and presence of melatonin (3x10-8 M). 3. Melatonin induced a dose-dependent constriction with an EC50 of 3.0+/-0.1 nM and a maximal constriction of -15+/(-1%). Luzindole abolished melatonin-induced vasoconstriction. TEA+ induced significant vasoconstriction (-10+/(-2%). No additional vasoconstriction was observed when melatonin was added to the aCSF in presence of TEA+, whereas L-NAME still induced vasoconstriction (-10+/(-1%). NS1619 induced vasodilatation (+11+/(-1%) which was 50% less in presence of melatonin. Vasodilatation induced by SNP (+12+/(-2%) was not diminished by melatonin. 4. Melatonin directly constricts small diameter cerebral arterioles in rats. This vasoconstrictor effect is mediated by inhibition of BKCa channels following activation of mt1 and/or MT2 receptors.  (+info)

Pia Mater is the inner-most layer of the meninges, which are the protective coverings of the brain and spinal cord. It is a very thin and highly vascularized (rich in blood vessels) membrane that closely adheres to the surface of the brain. The name "Pia Mater" comes from Latin, meaning "tender mother." This layer provides nutrition and protection to the brain, and it also allows for the movement and flexibility of the brain within the skull.

Dura Mater is the thickest and outermost of the three membranes (meninges) that cover the brain and spinal cord. It provides protection and support to these delicate structures. The other two layers are called the Arachnoid Mater and the Pia Mater, which are thinner and more delicate than the Dura Mater. Together, these three layers form a protective barrier around the central nervous system.

The arachnoid is one of the three membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord, known as the meninges. It is located between the dura mater (the outermost layer) and the pia mater (the innermost layer). The arachnoid is a thin, delicate membrane that is filled with cerebrospinal fluid, which provides protection and nutrition to the central nervous system.

The arachnoid has a spider-web like appearance, hence its name, and it is composed of several layers of collagen fibers and elastic tissue. It is highly vascularized, meaning that it contains many blood vessels, and it plays an important role in regulating the flow of cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord.

In some cases, the arachnoid can become inflamed or irritated, leading to a condition called arachnoiditis. This can cause a range of symptoms, including pain, muscle weakness, and sensory changes, and it may require medical treatment to manage.

The meninges are the protective membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. They consist of three layers: the dura mater (the outermost, toughest layer), the arachnoid mater (middle layer), and the pia mater (the innermost, delicate layer). These membranes provide protection and support to the central nervous system, and contain blood vessels that supply nutrients and remove waste products. Inflammation or infection of the meninges is called meningitis, which can be a serious medical condition requiring prompt treatment.

The brain is the central organ of the nervous system, responsible for receiving and processing sensory information, regulating vital functions, and controlling behavior, movement, and cognition. It is divided into several distinct regions, each with specific functions:

1. Cerebrum: The largest part of the brain, responsible for higher cognitive functions such as thinking, learning, memory, language, and perception. It is divided into two hemispheres, each controlling the opposite side of the body.
2. Cerebellum: Located at the back of the brain, it is responsible for coordinating muscle movements, maintaining balance, and fine-tuning motor skills.
3. Brainstem: Connects the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord, controlling vital functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. It also serves as a relay center for sensory information and motor commands between the brain and the rest of the body.
4. Diencephalon: A region that includes the thalamus (a major sensory relay station) and hypothalamus (regulates hormones, temperature, hunger, thirst, and sleep).
5. Limbic system: A group of structures involved in emotional processing, memory formation, and motivation, including the hippocampus, amygdala, and cingulate gyrus.

The brain is composed of billions of interconnected neurons that communicate through electrical and chemical signals. It is protected by the skull and surrounded by three layers of membranes called meninges, as well as cerebrospinal fluid that provides cushioning and nutrients.

Phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA) is not typically defined in the context of medical terminology, but rather it is a term used in pharmacology and biochemistry. PIA is a type of adenosine receptor agonist that specifically binds to and activates the A1 adenosine receptor.

Adenosine receptors are a type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) found in various tissues throughout the body, including the brain, heart, and immune system. Activation of these receptors by agonists like PIA can have diverse effects on cellular function, such as modulating neurotransmission, reducing heart rate and contractility, and regulating inflammation.

While not a medical term per se, PIA is an important compound in the study of adenosine receptor biology and has potential therapeutic applications in various diseases, including neurological disorders, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
