Effects of concussion on the blood–brain barrier in humans and rodents

Abstract: Traumatic brain injury and the long-term consequences of repeated concussions constitute mounting concerns in the United States, with 5.3 million individuals living with a traumatic brain injury-related disability. Attempts to understand mechanisms and possible therapeutic approaches to alleviate the consequences of repeat mild concussions or traumatic brain injury on cerebral vasculature depend on several aspects of the trauma, including: (1) the physical characteristics of trauma or insult that result in dam… Show more

“…More novel and specific biochemical/cellular pathway affects observed in this study include a potential blood brain barrier (BBB) phenotype in the TBI “most affected” vs control and in the TBI plus and minus CM comparisons (Table 3, Figs 6 and 7). These observations about BBB effects in the present TBI study are in line with a previous analysis concerning effects of concussion on the BBB in humans and in rats [68]. Notably, a depression phenotype was observed in the TBI “most affected” vs control comparison (Table 3, Fig 6), and a migraine headache phenotype was observed in the TBI plus vs minus CM comparison (Table 3 and Fig 7).…”

“…The junctions between endothelial cells are tightly connected through the adherens junction (AJ) proteins such as cadherins and tight junctional proteins such as occludin and claudins [31]. Besides, astrocytes, microglia, and pericytes are also critical for the normal function of the BBB and the phenotype of brain endothelial cells so that they contribute to the formation and maintenance, selectivity, and specificity of the BBB [19,32]. Glial and endothelial cells functionally interact with each other in a paracrine manner contributing to the integrity of the BBB [30].…”

“…Needless to say that these post-traumatic effects burden the patient with a higher risk of re-hospitalization, as well as an additional economic burden for the individual and his/her family and reduced quality of life [17,18]. Researchers in the field have been focusing on several aspects of TBI, including the physical characteristics of the trauma and the lapse time between trauma and the initial onset of neuropathologies [19]. The development of TBI is divided into two general stages: primary (immediate) injury and secondary (delayed) injury [2,20].…”

“…One approach to overcome BBB in TBI involves systemic administration of therapeutics while the BBB is physically breached post-injury (14)(15)(16). However, physical breaching of BBB in TBI is highly heterogeneous and varies greatly among patients, depending on the extent of primary injury (17)(18)(19)(20). Moreover, BBB can self-repair within a few hours to days post-injury to restore its integrity (16)(17)(18)(19)(20).…”
