Journal ArticleDOI

Blood-brain barrier-specific properties of a human adult brain endothelial cell line

TL;DR: In this article, normal human brain endothelial cells were transduced by lentiviral vectors incorporating human telomerase or SV40 T antigen, and one was selected for expression of normal endothelial markers, including CD31, VE cadherin, and von Willebrand factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stimulation of Endothelial Cell Prostacyclin Production by Thrombin, Trypsin, and the Ionophore A 23187

TL;DR: Production of thrombin at a site of vascular injury could, by stimulating PGI(2) synthesis by endothelial cells adjacent to the injured area, limit the number of platelets involved in the primary hemostatic response and help to localize thrombus formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of prostaglandin I2 (prostacyclin) by cultured human and bovine endothelial cells.

TL;DR: Human and bovine endothelial cells may be non-thrombogenic in vivo because they synthesize and release prostaglandin I2, a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation, which has been identified using a two-step thin-layer radiochromatographic procedure and a synthetic prostaglandsin I 2 standard.
Journal ArticleDOI

The hCMEC/D3 cell line as a model of the human blood brain barrier

TL;DR: The suitability of this brain microvascular endothelial cell line hCMEC/D3 as a human BBB model for pathogenic and drug transport studies is reviewed and critically considers its advantages and limitations.
