The blood-brain barrier is a restrictive interface between the brain parenchyma and the intravascular compartment. Tight junctions contribute to the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. Hypoxic-ischemic damage to the blood-brain barrier could be an important component of fetal brain injury. We hypothesized that increases in blood-brain barrier permeability after ischemia depend upon the duration of reperfusion and that decreases in tight junction proteins are associated with the ischemia-related impairment in blood-brain barrier function in the fetus. Blood-brain barrier function was quantified with the blood-to-brain transfer constant (Ki) and tight junction proteins by Western immunoblot in fetal sheep at 127 days-of-gestation without ischemia, and 4-, 24-, or 48-h after ischemia. The largest increase in Ki (P<0.05) was 4-h after ischemia. Occludin and claudin-5 expressions decreased at 4-h, but returned toward control levels 24- and 48-h after ischemia. Zonula occludens-1 and -2 decreased after ischemia. Inverse correlations between Ki and tight junction proteins suggest that the decreases in tight junction proteins contribute to impaired blood-brain barrier function after ischemia. We conclude that impaired blood-brain barrier function is an important component of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in the fetus, and that increases in quantitatively measured barrier permeability (Ki) change as a function of the duration of reperfusion after ischemia. The largest increase in permeability occurs 4-h after ischemia and blood-brain barrier function improves early after injury because the blood-brain barrier is less permeable 24- and 48- than 4-h after ischemia. Changes in the tight junction molecular composition are associated with increases in blood-brain barrier permeability after ischemia.
