项目摘要

Project Summary Brain capillaries are composed of a single layer of endothelial cells covered by specialized mural cells called pericytes. Communication between pericytes and endothelial cells is essential for brain capillary health. Recent studies indicate that Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia involve increased death or degeneration of brain pericytes. This is thought to contribute to the impairment of both blood-brain barrier integrity and cerebral blood flow, which subsequently exacerbates neurodegeneration. Therefore, strategies to mitigate or compensate for loss of pericyte coverage may help to preserved vascular function in these neurological diseases. We recently discovered that brain pericytes have the ability to structurally remodel in the adult brain. In response to focal ablation of single pericytes in vivo, we observed the robust extension of processes from neighboring pericytes, which could reach over large stretches of capillary bed to regain contact with the exposed endothelium. In young healthy mice, the transient loss of pericyte coverage led to persistent capillary dilation and abnormally high blood cell flux, until pericyte contact was regained. These findings suggest that pericyte remodeling is a reparative mechanism to compensate for pericyte loss. We hypothesize that this capacity is diminished with age and further impaired with amyloid deposition during cerebral amyloid angiopathy, a frequent small vessel disease in Alzheimer’s. To address this hypothesis, we plan to use in vivo two-photon microscopy to directly observe pericytes dynamics in normal mice and mice with cerebral amyloid angiopathy. In Aim 1, we will test whether remodeling capacity is reduced in young and aged Tg-SwDI mice, which exhibit a unique enrichment of capillary amyloid deposits over time. In Aim 2, we will use a novel oxygen-sensitive probe designed for two-photon imaging to better understand the consequence of pericyte loss on blood flow and local tissue oxygenation. This project will shed light on a largely unstudied facet of pericyte biology that may lead to novel approaches to augment pericyte-endothelial contact and preserve brain capillary health in Alzheimer’s disease. It will advance the field by: 1) Characterizing the dynamics of pericyte remodeling in detail using in vivo optical imaging, 2) providing insight on how small vessel disease impairs the reparative capacity of brain capillaries, and 3) promoting the development of new tools to study pericytes with unprecedented specificity in the living mouse brain.
项目概要 脑毛细血管由单层内皮细胞​​组成,上面覆盖着称为“毛细血管”的特殊壁细胞。 周细胞。周细胞和内皮细胞之间的通讯对于脑毛细血管的健康至关重要。最近的 研究表明,阿尔茨海默病和血管性痴呆涉及死亡或退化的增加 脑周细胞。这被认为会导致血脑屏障完整性和大脑损伤。 血液流动,随后加剧神经退行性变。因此,缓解或缓解的策略 补偿周细胞覆盖的损失可能有助于保护这些神经系统的血管功能 疾病。我们最近发现大脑周细胞具有在成人大脑中进行结构重塑的能力。 为了响应体内单个周细胞的局部消融,我们观察到过程的稳健扩展 邻近的周细胞,可以到达大片毛细血管床以重新与周围细胞接触 暴露的内皮。在年轻的健康小鼠中,周细胞覆盖的短暂丧失导致持久的毛细血管 扩张和异常高的血细胞通量,直到重新获得周细胞接触。这些发现表明 周细胞重塑是一种补偿周细胞损失的修复机制。我们假设这 能力随着年龄的增长而减弱,并在脑淀粉样蛋白沉积过程中因淀粉样蛋白沉积而进一步受损 血管病,阿尔茨海默病中常见的小血管疾病。为了解决这个假设,我们计划使用体内 双光子显微镜直接观察正常小鼠和脑淀粉样蛋白小鼠的周细胞动态 血管病。在目标 1 中,我们将测试年轻和老年 Tg-SwDI 小鼠的重塑能力是否降低, 随着时间的推移,其表现出毛细血管淀粉样蛋白沉积物的独特富集。在目标 2 中,我们将使用一本小说 专为双光子成像而设计的氧敏感探针,以更好地了解周细胞的后果 血流和局部组织氧合损失。该项目将揭示一个很大程度上未被研究的方面 周细胞生物学可能会带来增强周细胞-内皮接触和保护大脑的新方法 阿尔茨海默病的毛细血管健康。它将通过以下方式推进该领域的发展:1)表征周细胞的动力学 使用体内光学成像进行详细重塑,2)提供有关小血管疾病如何损害血管的见解 脑毛细血管的修复能力,3)促进研究周细胞的新工具的开发 活体小鼠大脑中前所未有的特异性。
