Viktor Mutt lecture : Peptides can cross the blood-brain barrier

Published by Elsevier Inc..

The field of peptides exploded in the 1970's and has continued to be a major area of discovery. Among the early discoveries was that peptides administered peripherally could affect brain functions. This led Kastin to propose that peptides could cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Although initially very controversial, Kastin, I, and others demonstrated not only that peptides can cross the BBB, but elucidated many fundamental characteristics of that passage. That work was in large part the basis of the 2022 Viktor Mutt Lectureship. Here, we review some of the early work with current updates on topics related to the penetration of peptides across the BBB. We briefly review mechanisms by which peripherally administered peptides can affect brain function without crossing the BBB, and then review the major mechanisms by which peptides and their analogs have been show to cross the BBB: transmembrane diffusion, saturable transport, and adsorptive transcytosis. Saturable transport systems are adaptable to physiologic changes and can be altered by disease states. In particular, the transport across the BBB of insulin and of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) illustrate many of the concepts regarding peptide transport across the BBB.
