ABSTRACT:The cause of the toxic mussel poisoning episode in 1987 was traced to a plankton-produced excitotoxin, domoic acid. Experiments were undertaken to quantitate the degree to which blood-borne domoic acid can permeate the microvasculature to enter the brain. Pentobarbital-anesthetized, adult rats received an i.v. injection of 3H-domoic acid which was permitted to circulate for 3-60 min. Transfer constants (Ki) describing blood-to-brain diffusion of tracer were calculated from analysis of the relationship between brain vs plasma radioactivity with time. Mean values (mL.g-1.s-1 x 106) for permeation into 7 brain regions (n = 10 rats) ranged from 1.60 ± 0.13 (SE) to 1.86 ± 0.33 (cortex, ponsmedulla respectively), and carrier transport or regional selectivity in uptake were not evident. Nephrectomy prior to domoic acid injection resulted in the elevation of circulating plasma tracer level and brain uptake. The Ki values are comparable to those for other polar compounds such as sucrose, and indicate that the blood-brain barrier greatly limits the amount of toxin that enters the brain. Together with absorbed dosage, integrity of the cerebrovascular barrier and normal kidney function are important to the outcome of accidentally ingesting domoic acid.

Several neurological disorders have been linked to inflammatory insults suffered during development. We investigated the effects of neonatal systemic inflammation, induced by LPS injections, on blood-brain barrier permeability, endothelial tight junctions and behaviour of juvenile (P20) and adult rats. LPS-treatment resulted in altered cellular localisation of claudin-5 and changes in ultrastructural morphology of a few cerebral blood vessels. Barrier permeability to sucrose was significantly increased in LPS treated animals when adult but not at P20 or earlier. Behavioural tests showed that LPS treated animals at P20 exhibited altered behaviour using prepulse inhibition (PPI) analysis, whereas adults demonstrated altered behaviour in the dark/light test. These data indicate that an inflammatory insult during brain development can change blood-brain barrier permeability and behaviour in later life. It also suggests that the impact of inflammation can occur in several phases (short- and long-term) and that each phase might lead to different behavioural modifications.
