Given that the phosphorylation of the proteins is an immediate event and the disruption of the BBB also occurs shortly after sonication, it is plausible that the ultrasound-mediated diminished interaction of occludin and ZO-1 is due to alteration in phosphorylation level of tight junction proteins. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In the following study we show that the application of focused ultrasound in combination with ultrasound contrast agent disrupts the BBB integrity, and that this disruption is associated with reduced interaction of the tight junction protein occludin with ZO-1. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
However, using immunoprecipitation analysis we show that the interaction of occludin and ZO-1 is reduced in the brain regions treated with ultrasound (Figure 3B).
