Project description:Vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Currently, the mechanistic insights into the evolution and progression of VCID remain elusive. White matter change represents an invariant feature. Compelling clinical neuroimaging and pathological evidence suggest a link between white matter changes and neurodegeneration. Our prior study detected hypoperfused lesions in mice with partial deficiency of endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS) at very young age, precisely matching to those hypoperfused areas identified in preclinical AD patients. White matter tracts are particularly susceptible to the vascular damage induced by chronic hypoperfusion. Using immunohistochemistry, we detected severe demyelination in the middle aged eNOS-deficient mice. The demyelinated areas were confined to cortical and subcortical areas including the corpus callosum and hippocampus. The intensity of demyelination correlated with behavioral deficits of gait and associative recognition memory performances. By Evans blue angiography, we detected blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage as another early pathological change affecting frontal and parietal cortex in eNOS-deficient mic. Sodium nitrate fortified drinking water provided to young and middle aged eNOS-deficient mice completely prevented non-perfusion, BBB leakage, and white matter pathology, indicating that impaired endothelium-derived NO signaling may have caused these pathological events. Furthermore, genome-wide transcriptomic analysis revealed altered gene clusters most related to mitochondrial respiratory pathways selectively in the white matter of young eNOS-deficient mice. Using eNOS-deficient mice, we identified BBB breakdown and hypoperfusion as the two earliest pathological events, resulting from insufficient vascular NO signaling. We speculate that the compromised BBB and mild chronic hypoperfusion trigger vascular damage, along with oxidative stress and astrogliosis, accounting for the white matter pathological changes in the eNOS-deficient mouse model. We conclude that eNOS-deficient mice represent an ideal spontaneous evolving model for studying the earliest events leading to spontaneous white matter changes, which will be instrumental to future therapeutic testing of drug candidates and for targeting novel/specific vascular mechanisms contributing to VCID and AD.

Project description:Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) catalyzes the conversion of L-arginine and molecular oxygen into L-citrulline and nitric oxide (NO), a gaseous second messenger that influences cardiovascular physiology and disease. Several mechanisms regulate eNOS activity and function, including phosphorylation at Ser and Thr residues and protein-protein interactions. Combining a tandem affinity purification approach and mass spectrometry, we identified stromal cell-derived factor 2 (SDF2) as a component of the eNOS macromolecular complex in endothelial cells. SDF2 knockdown impaired agonist stimulated NO synthesis and decreased phosphorylation of eNOS at Ser1177, a key event required for maximal activation of eNOS. Conversely, SDF2 overexpression dose-dependently increased NO synthesis through a mechanism involving Akt and calcium (induced with ionomycin), which increased the phosphorylation of Ser1177 in eNOS. NO synthesis by iNOS (inducible NOS) and nNOS (neuronal NOS) was also enhanced upon SDF2 overexpression. We found that SDF2 was a client protein of the chaperone protein Hsp90, interacting preferentially with the M domain of Hsp90, which is the same domain that binds to eNOS. In endothelial cells exposed to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), SDF2 was required for the binding of Hsp90 and calmodulin to eNOS, resulting in eNOS phosphorylation and activation. Thus, our data describe a function for SDF2 as a component of the Hsp90-eNOS complex that is critical for signal transduction in endothelial cells.

Project description:Extensive reports in the past decade have shown the importance of eNOS expression in atherogenesis. However, both the eNOS knockout and overexpression mouse models exhibit paradoxical results of increased atherosclerotic lesions. Our genetic approach herein utilizes endogenous point-mutations at the eNOS S1176 site to effectively manipulate eNOS activity rather than total eNOS protein expression levels. Our efforts definitively show that eNOS S1176 phosphorylation is sufficient to mitigate atherosclerotic lesion progression.

Project description:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been postulated to initiate a disease process that interacts with vascular dysfunction. However, the combined effects of preexisting cerebral hypoperfusion and TBI remain poorly explored. This study aimed to investigate the combined effects of bilateral carotid artery stenosis (BCAS) and mild-moderate TBI on cerebral blood flow (CBF), cognitive function, histology, and transcriptomics in Swiss-Webster mice. Male and female mice underwent BCAS using steel microcoils around the carotid arteries, followed by TBI 30 days post coil implantation. CBF, spatial learning and memory, axonal damage, and gene expression profiles were assessed. BCAS led to a ~10% reduction in CBF, while TBI caused a similar decrease. However, mice exposed to both BCAS and TBI exhibited more pronounced reductions in CBF, associated with marked spatial learning and memory deficits, particularly in males. Axonal damage in male mice was also exacerbated by the combination of BCAS and TBI. Notably, females demonstrated differential vascular and cognitive responses to BCAS and TBI, suggesting sex-specific protective mechanisms. Single nuclei RNA sequencing revealed unique, cell type-specific gene expression alterations due to BCAS, TBI, or the combination. Moreover, BCAS and TBI induced significant gene expression changes in various cell types, hinting at complex cellular interactions following vascular challenges and trauma. The cellular and molecular interplay between hypoperfusion and TBI points to intricate vascular-neuronal interactions and potential avenues for targeted interventions.

Project description:Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion is manifested in various CNS diseases accompanied by cognitive impairment, such as dementia, however the precise mechanism of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion-induced cognitive impairment remains unknown. Recently, transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), activated by oxidative stress, was reported to be involved in the cerebrovascular diseases, therefore we investigated the pathophysiological role of TRPA1 in chronic cerebral hypoperfusion using a mouse bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS) model. Early cognitive impairment and white matter injury was induced by BCAS in TRPA1-knockout (TRPA1-KO) but not wild-type (WT) mice. For further investigation into the involvement of TRPA1 in chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, we conducted RNA sequence (RNAseq) in the corpus callosum from sham- and BCAS-operated WT and TRPA1-KO mice.

Project description:There is cardiac dysfunction in male eNOS (-/-) with age and 50% mortality at 21M. It was of interest to investigate the gene expression profile of aged eNOS (-/-) male in comparison to (+/+) in order to explore the genetic markers and molecular mechanisms leading to heart failure. RNA was extracted from the left ventricle from male (-/-) (n=3) and (+/+) (n=4) at the age of 21M. Keywords = eNOS knockout Keywords = microarray Keywords = exercise Keywords: other
