Project description:The neurovascular unit (NVU) is a complex multicellular structure that helps maintain cerebral homeostasis and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. While extensive evidence links NVU alterations to cerebrovascular diseases and neurodegeneration, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we use zebrafish embryos carrying a mutation in Scavenger Receptor B2, a highly conserved endolysosomal protein expressed predominantly in Radial Glia Cells (RGCs), to investigate the interplay among different NVU components. Through live imaging and genetic manipulations, we demonstrate that compromised acidification of the endolysosomal compartment in mutant RGCs leads to impaired Notch3 signaling, thereby inducing excessive neurogenesis and reduced glial differentiation. We further demonstrate that alterations to the neuron/glia balance result in impaired VEGF and Wnt signaling, leading to severe vascular defects, hemorrhages, and a leaky BBB. Altogether, our findings provide novel insights into NVU formation and function and offer new avenues for investigating diseases involving white matter defects and vascular abnormalities.
