OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of hyperthermia in vitro on tight junctions between the endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier. METHODS An in vitro blood-brain barrier model was established by coculture of ECV304 cells with astrocytes. Transendothelial resistance (TER) of in vitro blood-brain barrier was determined by Millicell-ERS system, and the morphological change of tight junctions examined by silver staining. The expression level of zonula occluden-1(ZO-1) was analyzed by semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR. RESULTS The integrity of tight junctions was disrupted and the expression level of ZO-1 decreased after treatment with hyperthermia. CONCLUSIONS Tight junctions between the endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier can be destroyed by hyperthermia, and decreased expression level of ZO-1 induced by hyperthermia is one of the most important molecular mechanisms.

D006358 Hot Temperature Presence of warmth or heat or a temperature notably higher than an accustomed norm. Heat,Hot Temperatures,Temperature, Hot,Temperatures, Hot
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D001253 Astrocytes A class of large neuroglial (macroglial) cells in the central nervous system - the largest and most numerous neuroglial cells in the brain and spinal cord. Astrocytes (from "star" cells) are irregularly shaped with many long processes, including those with "end feet" which form the glial (limiting) membrane and directly and indirectly contribute to the BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER. They regulate the extracellular ionic and chemical environment, and "reactive astrocytes" (along with MICROGLIA) respond to injury.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
