• W4380148766 abstract "The blood-brain barrier (BBB) can respond to various mechanical cues such as shear stress and substrate stiffness. In the human brain, the compromised barrier function of the BBB is closely associated with a series of neurological disorders that are often also accompanied by the alteration of brain stiffness. In many types of peripheral vasculature, higher matrix stiffness decreases barrier function of endothelial cells through mechanotransduction pathways that alter cell-cell junction integrity. However, human brain endothelial cells are specialized endothelial cells that largely resist changes in cell morphology and key BBB markers. Therefore, it has remained an open question how matrix stiffness affects barrier integrity in the human BBB. To gain insight into the effects of matrix stiffness on BBB permeability, we differentiated brain microvascular endothelial-like cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iBMEC-like cells) and cultured the cells on extracellular matrix-coated hydrogels of varying stiffness. We first detected and quantified the junction presentation of key tight junction (TJ) proteins. Our results show matrix-dependent junction phenotypes in iBMEC-like cells, where cells on softer gels (1 kPa) have significantly lower continuous and total TJ coverages. We also determined that these softer gels also lead to decreased barrier function in a local permeability assay. Furthermore, we found that matrix stiffness regulates the local permeability of iBMEC-like cells through the balance of continuous ZO-1 TJs and no junction regions ZO-1 in tricellular regions. Together, these findings provide valuable insights into the effects of matrix stiffness on TJ phenotypes and local permeability of iBMEC-like cells. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Brain mechanical properties, including stiffness, are particularly sensitive indicators for pathophysiological changes in neural tissue. The compromised function of the blood-brain barrier is closely associated with a series of neurological disorders often accompanied by altered brain stiffness. In this study, we use polymeric biomaterials and provide new evidence that biomaterial stiffness regulates the local permeability in iPSC-derived brain endothelial cells in tricellular regions through the tight junction protein ZO-1. Our findings provide valuable insights into the changes in junction architecture and barrier permeability in response to different substrate stiffnesses. Since BBB dysfunction has been linked to many diseases, understanding the influence of substrate stiffness on junction presentations and barrier permeability could lead to the development of new treatments for diseases associated with BBB dysfunction or drug delivery across BBB systems." @default.
