The blood-brain barrier regulates the entry of blood-borne molecules into the brain to maintain brain homeostasis. The protein LRP1 plays a key role in controlling the paracellular passage of blood proteins into the brain through the formation of tight junctions.
The entry of blood-borne molecules into the brain is restricted by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Various physical, transport and immune properties tightly regulate molecule movement between the blood and the brain to maintain brain homeostasis. A recent study utilizing a pan-endothelial, constitutive Tie2-Cre showed that paracellular passage of blood proteins into the brain is governed by endocytic and cell signaling protein low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1). Taking advantage of conditional Slco1c1-CreER(T2) specific to CNS endothelial cells and choroid plexus epithelial cells we now supplement previous results and show that brain endothelial Lrp1 ablation results in protease-mediated tight junction degradation, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) reduction and a loss of BBB integrity.
