When brain metastases form, the blood–brain barrier morphs into the blood–tumor barrier (BTB), surrounded by neuroinflammatory response. Here, the authors show that S1P3 is upregulated in neuroinflammatory response in highly BTB permeable lesions, and modulation of S1P3 could impact BTB permeability.
