Abstract

Background: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a crucial but dynamic structure that functions as a gatekeeper for the central nervous system (CNS). Managing sufficient substances across the BBB is a major challenge, especially in the development of therapeutics for CNS disorders.

Methods: To achieve an efficient, fast and safe strategy for BBB opening, an acoustofluidic transwell (AFT) was developed for reversible disruption of the BBB. The proposed AFT was consisted of a transwell insert where the BBB model was established, and a surface acoustic wave (SAW) transducer realized using open-source electronics based on printed circuit board techniques.

Results: In the AFT device, the SAW produced acousto-mechanical stimulations to the BBB model resulting in decreased transendothelial electrical resistance in a dose dependent manner, indicating the disruption of the BBB. Moreover, SAW stimulation enhanced transendothelial permeability to sodium fluorescein and FITC-dextran with various molecular weight in the AFT device. Further study indicated BBB opening was mainly attributed to the apparent stretching of intercellular spaces. An in vivo study using a zebrafish model demonstrated SAW exposure promoted penetration of sodium fluorescein to the CNS.

Conclusions: In summary, AFT effectively disrupts the BBB under the SAW stimulation, which is promising as a new drug delivery methodology for neurodegenerative diseases.

开放源代码板为基础的声流体传输管可逆破坏血脑屏障治疗输送。
背景:血脑屏障(BBB)是中枢神经系统(CNS)的看门人,是一个至关重要的动态结构。在血脑屏障中管理足够的物质是一项重大挑战,特别是在中枢神经系统疾病治疗方法的开发中。方法:为了实现高效、快速、安全的血脑屏障打开策略,研制了一种可可逆破坏血脑屏障的声流流体传输井(AFT)。所提出的AFT由建立BBB模型的transwell插入件和基于印刷电路板技术的开源电子器件实现的表面声波(SAW)换能器组成。结果:在AFT装置中,SAW对血脑屏障模型产生声力学刺激,导致经内皮电阻以剂量依赖的方式降低,表明血脑屏障破坏。此外,SAW刺激增强了AFT装置对荧光素钠和不同分子量的fitc -葡聚糖的跨内皮通透性。进一步的研究表明血脑屏障的开放主要是由于细胞间隙的明显拉伸。一项使用斑马鱼模型的体内研究表明,SAW暴露促进了荧光素钠对中枢神经系统的渗透。结论:综上所述,AFT在SAW刺激下有效地破坏血脑屏障,有望成为神经退行性疾病的一种新的给药方法。
