- W3013582503 abstract "Introduction: Brain metastatic disease (BMD) is attributed to significant mortality and morbidity in breast cancer patients. Strict policing of molecular traffic across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) precludes brain parenchymal penetration of most small molecule drugs, chemotherapy included. Consequently, the treatment of BMD remains difficult, particularly if the BBB remains intact during disease progression. Artemisinin has been efficacious in treating multi-drug resistant cerebral malaria likely indicative of an ability to traverse the BBB. Thus, Artemisinin may be able to modulate the restrictive nature of the BBB and provide a potential adjunctive therapy to established drug therapy in the treatment of BMD. Emerging evidence suggests that Artemisinin itself may harbour potent anti-cancer properties. Aim: To investigate in vitro the effect on barrier function in particular paracellular permeability of brain vascular endothelial cells compared to non-brain vascular endothelial cells when treated with Artemisinin. Materials and Methods: Inter-individual BBB differences were modelled using the human brain vascular endothelial cell lines hCMEC-D3, TY09 and TY10. In addition to the brain cell lines, a HUVEC cell line was treated with incremental concentrations of artemisinin. Adhesion, migration and electrical resistance across cellular monolayers were quantified using Electric Cell-Substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS). Trans- Endo/Epithelial Resistance (TEER) and Paracellular Permeability (PCP) were used to assess barrier function. Immunofluorescence was used to qualitatively assess tight junction (TJ) integrity of all cell lines. RNAseq was used to determine changes in message after treatment with Artemisinin in all 4 cell lines. Results: A significant reduction in electrical resistance across all cell lines was observed when treated with 1mM Artemisinin and may be suggestive of a cytotoxic concentration. In comparison when treated with 0.01mM Artemisinin the electrical resistance decreased which could suggest restrictive barrier properties were enhanced, in addition evidencing Artemisinin may exhibit biphasic activity. The reduction in electrical resistance across the brain endothelial cell lines was significant (p Conclusion: The results demonstrate that Artemisinin may have the capacity to transiently increase or decrease the permeability of the BBB. Therefore, Artemisinin may have a role in facilitating drug delivery to the cerebral parenchyma providing potential therapeutic benefit for the treatment of BMD or other related neurological conditions difficult to treat due to the BBB.
