Popis: Serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins are highly conserved lipoproteins that are notoriously involved in the acute phase response and systemic amyloidosis, but their biological functions are incompletely understood. Recent work has shown that SAA proteins can enter the brain by crossing the intact blood–brain barrier (BBB), and that they can impair BBB functions. Once in the central nervous system (CNS), SAA proteins can have both protective and harmful effects, which have important implications for CNS disease. In this review of the thematic series on SAA, we discuss the existing literature that relates SAA to neuroinflammation and CNS disease, and the possible roles of the BBB in these relations.
