The blood-brain barrier is a selective diffusion barrier between brain parenchyma and the intravascular compartment. Tight junctions (TJs) are integral components of the blood-brain barrier. Pro-inflammatory cytokines are important in the pathogenesis of brain injury and could modify the protein constituents of TJs. We hypothesized that IL-6 down-regulates key protein constituents of endothelial TJs (e.g., occludin and claudin-5). We examined the effects of IL-6 on TJ protein expression using an in vitro blood-brain barrier model. We isolated microvessels from yearling and adult ovine cerebral cortex and placed them into culture with IL-6 concentrations of 0 (control, phosphate buffered saline), 1, 10, and 100 ng/mL for 24 hours. Cerebral microvessels were harvested, Western immunoblot performed for occludin and claudin-5, densitometry performed, and results expressed as a ratio to control values. Western immunoblot analysis showed that treatment with 100 ng/ml of IL-6, but not the lower concentrations, reduced (P<0.05) occludin expression in microvessels from yearling and adult sheep, and claudin-5 in microvessels from adult sheep However, treatment with 10 ng/ml of IL-6 increased claudin-5 in microvessels from yearling sheep. The percent of lactate dehydrogenase released from the microvessels into the surrounding media was not increased by IL-6 treatment, suggesting that the reductions in TJ proteins did not result from cell death. Treatment of adult cerebral cortical microvessels with IL-6 pre-incubated with anti-IL-6 monoclonal antibodies partially attenuated the reduction in claudin-5. We conclude that IL-6 modulates tight junction protein expression in cerebral cortical microvessels from yearling and adult sheep.
