Abstract Patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea (OSA) are at high risk of cerebrovascular diseases leading to cognitive impairment. The oxidative stress generated by intermittent hypoxia (IH) could lead to an increase in blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability, an essential interface for the protection of the brain. Moreover, in patients with OSA, blood coagulation could be increased leading to cardiovascular complications. Thrombin is a factor found increased in these populations that exerts various cellular effects through activation of protease activated receptors (PARs). Thus, we have evaluated in an in vitro BBB model the association of IH with thrombin at two concentrations. We measured the apparent BBB permeability, expression of tight junctions, ROS production, HIF-1α expression, and cleavage of PAR-1/PAR-3. Pre-treatment with dabigatran was performed. IH and higher thrombin concentrations altered BBB permeability: high levels of HIF-1α expression, ROS and PAR-1 activation compared to PAR-3 in such conditions. Conversely, lower concentration of thrombin associated with IH appear to have a protective effect on BBB with a significant cleavage of PAR-3. Dabigatran reversed the deleterious effect of thrombin at high concentrations but also suppressed the beneficial effect of low dose thrombin. Therefore, thrombin and PARs represent novel attractive targets to prevent BBB opening in OSA. |
