Abstract excerpt
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1 or CCL2) regulates blood-brain barrier permeability by inducing morphological and biochemical alterations in the tight junction (TJ) complex between brain endothelial cells. The present study used cultured brain endothelial cells to examine the signaling networks involved in the redistribution of TJ proteins (occludin, ZO-1, ZO-2, claudin-5) by CCL2. The CCL2-induced...
