Some blood-brain barrier properties of microvascular endothelial cells have been shown to be inducible by astrocytes. We tested the hypothesis that this cellular interaction is mediated by a soluble factor(s). Chick chorioallantoic vessels in ovo were constantly exposed to astrocyte-conditioned medium. We found that endothelial cells exposed to astrocyte-derived factors, but not to glioma- or endothelial cell-derived factors, expressed the HT7 antigen and neurothelin, two specific markers of the blood-brain barrier phenotype. These results indicate that a soluble factor(s) secreted by astrocytes is capable to induce specific blood-brain barrier properties in endothelial cells of non-neural origin.

D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching. Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick

D005321 Extraembryonic Membranes The thin layers of tissue that surround the developing embryo. There are four extra-embryonic membranes commonly found in VERTEBRATES, such as REPTILES; BIRDS; and MAMMALS. They are the YOLK SAC, the ALLANTOIS, the AMNION, and the CHORION. These membranes provide protection and means to transport nutrients and wastes.
