    Blood-brain barrier disruption following brain injury: Implications for clinical practice
    (Universidad de Murcia, Departamento de Biologia Celular e Histiologia, 2024) Bai, Ruojing; Ge, Xintong
    The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a critical role in regulating the exchange of substances between peripheral blood and the central nervous system and in maintaining the stability of the neurovascular unit in neurological diseases. To guide clinical treatment and basic research on BBB protection following brain injury, this manuscript reviews how BBB disruption develops and influences neural recovery after stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). By summarizing the pathological mechanisms of BBB damage, we underscore the critical role of promoting BBB repair in managing brain injury. We also emphasize the potential for personalized and precise therapeutic strategies and the need for continued research and innovation. From this, broadening insights into the mechanisms of BBB disruption and repair could pave the way for breakthroughs in the treatment of brain injury-related diseases.

    Sphingosine 1-phosphate and its regulatory role in vascular endothelial cells
    (Universidad de Murcia, Departamento de Biologia Celular e Histiologia, 2022) Qiu, Yan; Shen, Junyi; Jiang, Wenli; Yang, Yi; Liu, Xiaoheng; Zeng, Ye
    Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive metabolite of sphingomyelin. S1P activates a series of signaling cascades by acting on its receptors S1PR1-3 on endothelial cells (ECs), which plays an important role in endothelial barrier maintenance, anti-inflammation, antioxidant and angiogenesis, and thus is considered as a potential therapeutic biomarker for ischemic stroke, sepsis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cancers, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. We presently review the levels of S1P in those vascular and vascularrelated diseases. Plasma S1P levels were reduced in various inflammation-related diseases such as atherosclerosis and sepsis, but were increased in other diseases including type 2 diabetes, neurodegeneration, cerebrovascular damages such as acute ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, angina, heart failure, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, communityacquired pneumonia, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Then, we highlighted the molecular mechanism by which S1P regulated EC biology including vascular development and angiogenesis, inflammation, permeability, and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which might provide new ways for exploring the pathogenesis and implementing individualized therapy strategies for those diseases
