PROJECT SUMMARY An intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a balloon-like bulge in a weakened area of a blood vessel in the brain. Rupture of an IA leads to a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a major cause of death and disability in stroke patients. However, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms that contribute to IA development are poorly understood, which greatly impedes attempts to identify novel therapeutic targets for the disease. Cerebrovascular integrity plays a pivotal role in IA development. In particular, focal adhesion (FA), a property that enables endothelial cells to adhere to their extracellular matrix, is required for cerebrovascular integrity. Recently, we named FA-phagy for “selective autophagy of FA” which can regulate FA stability. Moreover, we identified p62 as the major cargo receptor for FA-phagy in endothelial cells. Our central hypothesis is that p62-mediated endothelial FA-phagy impairs cerebrovascular integrity and thus contributes to IA development. This hypothesis will be tested in two specific aims: 1) determine the role of p62-mediated endothelial FA-phagy in cerebrovascular integrity and intracranial aneurysm development; and 2) define the cargo recognition mechanisms in p62-mediated endothelial FA-phagy. These proposed experiments may provide a firm scientific foundation for further treating IA disease by targeting p62-mediated cargo recognition mechanisms. Importantly, this targeting cargo recognition mechanism may precisely interfere with a specific type of autophagy and thus shift the current paradigm on autophagy manipulation in vascular diseases, since most inhibitors in clinical trials block autophagic core machinery that is shared in all types of autophagy, thus leading to unwanted consequences. Our project's aims may collectively establish anti-FA-phagy strategy as a novel therapy for IA and potentially for many other diseases due to the loss of vascular integrity.

项目总结 颅内动脉瘤(IA)是大脑中血管薄弱区域内的气球状隆起。 颈内动脉破裂导致蛛网膜下腔出血，这是导致中风死亡和残疾的主要原因 病人。然而，导致IA发生的潜在致病机制很差。 这极大地阻碍了为该病确定新的治疗靶点的努力。 脑血管完整性在IA的发展中起着至关重要的作用。特别是，焦点粘连(FA)，a 使内皮细胞能够与其细胞外基质黏附的特性是 脑血管完整性。最近，我们将FA-phagy命名为“FA选择性自噬”，它可以 调节FA的稳定性。此外，我们发现p62是内皮细胞中FA-吞噬作用的主要受体。 细胞。我们的中心假设是p62介导的内皮FA吞噬功能损害脑血管完整性 从而为信息技术的发展做出了贡献。这一假设将在两个具体目标中得到检验：1)确定 P62介导的内皮细胞FA吞噬在脑血管完整性和颅内动脉瘤中的作用 发展；以及2)确定p62介导的内皮FA吞噬中的货物识别机制。 这些拟议的实验可能为进一步治疗IA病提供坚实的科学基础 靶向p62介导的货物识别机制。重要的是，这一目标货物识别 机制可能精确地干扰特定类型的自噬，从而改变当前的范式 关于血管疾病中的自噬操作，因为临床试验中的大多数抑制剂都阻断了自噬 在所有类型的自噬中共享的核心机制，从而导致不想要的后果。我们的 该项目的目标可能共同建立反FA吞噬策略，作为IA的一种新疗法，并有可能 由于血管完整性的丧失而导致的许多其他疾病。
