He et al In Vitro BBB Models 2515 permeability is via vesicular transport. 4, 37–39 Two major mechanisms are used by BMECs to regulate intracellular transportation. First, small lipophilic molecules, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, diffuse across BMECs freely. 40 Second, some hydrophilic molecules are transported across BMECs via specific transporters and receptors. Depending on the subcellular distribution, 3 major types of transporters and receptors are found:(1) Bidirectional transporters and receptors expressed on both the luminal and abluminal sides of BMECs. These transporters and receptors usually function to facilitate nutrient transportation. For example, glucose transporter 1, monocarboxylate transporter 1, L1 amino acid transporters, and y+ cationic amino acid transporter transport glucose, lactate, and large neutral and cationic essential amino acids in and out of BMECs, respectively. 41, 42 (2) Unidirectional transporters and receptors expressed on both the luminal and abluminal sides of BMECs. This group of transporters and receptors shifts molecules either in or out of the brain/blood system. For example, transferrin receptor and insulin receptor mediate endocytosis of transferrin and insulin, respectively, leading to accumulation of these ligands in BMECs. 43–45 (3) Transporters and receptors expressed on either the luminal or abluminal side of BMECs. These unevenly distributed transporters and receptors contribute to the polarity of BMECs and are involved in unidirectional transportation of substances. For instance, multidrug resistance-related protein 1 (also called ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 1), 46–50 P-glycoprotein (also called ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1), 51, 52 and breast cancer resistance protein (also called ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2) 53–58 are predominantly expressed in the luminal side of BMECs. These transporters recognize a large spectrum of lipophilic substrates and pump them into capillary lumen to prevent their penetration across the BBB. 59 Beside BMECs, these transporters have also been found in many types of tumor cells, including glioma, 60 leukemia, 61 esophageal carcinoma, 62 and colon/lung/kidney cancer. 63, 64 Because many anticancer drugs are substrates of these transporters, 59, 65 the access of these drugs to CNS tissue or tumors is limited, making patients resistant to anticancer drug treatment, a phenomenon known as multidrug resistance. 65 In contrast to tumor cells, lower expression of these transporters was found in blood vessels supplying CNS metastases. 66 For example, P-glycoprotein levels in blood vessels around CNS metastases of melanoma and lung cancer were≈ 5% and 40% of that in normal brain tissue, respectively. 67 These data suggest that systematically delivered chemotherapy may reach CNS tumor cells, whereas it is hard to penetrate and kill them. Various inhibitors for these transporters, including verapamil, probenecid, and fumitremorgin C, have been used to increase drug delivery to brain tumors and improve the therapeutic efficacy. 66 On the other hand, excitatory amino acid transporters 1 to 3 are found solely on the abluminal side of BMECs to efficiently remove the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate from the brain. 68 Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1, which is predominately expressed on the abluminal side of BMECs, facilitates the elimination of amyloid-β from the brain, 69–71 although there is also evidence suggesting that lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 may not contribute to the efflux of amyloid-β across the BBB. 72, 73 Expressed only on the abluminal side of BMECs,(Na+-K …
