[Changes of blood-brain barrier in the ethylnitrosourea induced rat glioma (author's transl)]. 1981

K Yamada, and Y Ushio, and T Hayakawa, and A Kato, and N Yamada, and H Mogami

Capillary permeability of rat brains bearing ethylnitrosourea induced rat glioma was measured with quantitative autoradiography. In the small tumors (less than 2mm in diameter), no changes in capillary permeability was noted. When tumors became larger and neovascularization of the tumor occurred, increase in capillary permeability was evident. This change was more prominent in the center of the tumor than in the periphery. In the large tumors, the capillary permeability was markedly increases, and the value was similar to that in the choroid plexus. This indicates that blood-brain barrier(BBB) completely disappeared in the large tumors. This BBB change may be the main cause of tumor induced brain edema. The data also provide the information about pharmacokinetics of water soluble drugs in the brain tumors.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D002199 Capillary Permeability The property of blood capillary ENDOTHELIUM that allows for the selective exchange of substances between the blood and surrounding tissues and through membranous barriers such as the BLOOD-AIR BARRIER; BLOOD-AQUEOUS BARRIER; BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER; BLOOD-NERVE BARRIER; BLOOD-RETINAL BARRIER; and BLOOD-TESTIS BARRIER. Small lipid-soluble molecules such as carbon dioxide and oxygen move freely by diffusion. Water and water-soluble molecules cannot pass through the endothelial walls and are dependent on microscopic pores. These pores show narrow areas (TIGHT JUNCTIONS) which may limit large molecule movement.

D005910 Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
