ABSTRACT
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) constitutes a crucial protective anatomical layer with a microenvironment that tightly controls material transit. Constructing an in vitro BBB model to replicate in vivo features requires the sequential layering of constituent cell types. Maintaining heightened integrity in the observed tight junctions during both the establishment and post-experiment phases is crucial to the success of these models. We have developed an in vitro BBB model that replicates the cellular composition and spatial orientation of in vivo BBB observed in humans. The experiment includes comprehensive procedures and steps aimed at enhancing the integration of the four-cell model. Departing from conventional in vitro BBB models, our methodology eliminates the necessity for pre-coated plates to facilitate cell adhesion, thereby improving cell visualization throughout the procedure. An in-house coating strategy and a simple yet effective approach significantly reduce costs and provides superior imaging of cells and corresponding tight junction protein expression. Also, our BBB model includes all four primary cell types that are structural parts of the human BBB. With its innovative and user-friendly features, our in-house optimized in vitro four-cell-based BBB model showcases novel methodology and provides a promising experimental platform for drug screening processes. © 2024 The Authors.
