BBB breakdown caused by plasma membrane pore formation.
The blood-brain barrier, recently reintroduced as the blood-brain border (BBB), is a dynamic interface between the central nervous system (CNS) and the bloodstream. Disruption of the BBB exposes the CNS to peripheral pathogens and harmful substances, causing or worsening various CNS diseases. While traditional views attribute BBB failure to tight junction disruption or increased transcytosis, recent studies highlight the critical role of gasdermin D (GSDMD) pore formation in brain endothelial cells (bECs) during BBB disruption by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or bacterial infections. This mechanism may also be involved in neurological complications like the 'brain fog' seen in long COVID. Pore formation in bECs may represent a prevalent mechanism causing BBB leakage. Investigating membrane-permeabilizing pores or channels and their effects on BBB integrity is a growing area of research. Further exploration of molecular processes that maintain, disrupt, and restore bEC membrane integrity will advance our understanding of brain vasculature and aid in developing new therapies for BBB-related diseases.
