Endothelial mitochondria in the blood-brain barrier.
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective interface between the peripheral circulation and the central nervous system (CNS), crucial for maintaining brain homeostasis. Disruptions to the BBB, such as increased permeability or structural damage, can lead to neurological damage. Mitochondria, the primary energy producers within endothelial cells, play a key role in the function of the BBB by maintaining its integrity and low permeability. This review first outlines the structural components of the BBB, then examines the role of mitochondria in endothelial cells under physiological conditions. We further focus on alterations in mitochondrial function during pathological states, discussing their impact on BBB stability. Briefly, this review explores the involvement of mitochondria in BBB endothelial cells in both physiological processes and the pathological progression of neurological diseases, while proposing potential therapeutic directions for treating CNS disorders.
期刊介绍:
"Fluids and Barriers of the CNS" is a scholarly open access journal that specializes in the intricate world of the central nervous system's fluids and barriers, which are pivotal for the health and well-being of the human body. This journal is a peer-reviewed platform that welcomes research manuscripts exploring the full spectrum of CNS fluids and barriers, with a particular focus on their roles in both health and disease.
At the heart of this journal's interest is the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a vital fluid that circulates within the brain and spinal cord, playing a multifaceted role in the normal functioning of the brain and in various neurological conditions. The journal delves into the composition, circulation, and absorption of CSF, as well as its relationship with the parenchymal interstitial fluid and the neurovascular unit at the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
