项目摘要

ABSTRACT In Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), and to a lesser extent in non-demented individuals, deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) is found around cerebral vessels, a condition called Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA). It is likely that the development of CAA, and consequently neurovascular unit (NVU) dysfunction, in AD may result from failure of Aβ clearance pathways. Importantly, all Aβ clearance pathways involve movement of Aβ towards the vasculature for elimination. Cerebrovascular endothelial cells (EC), which line all brain vessels, are the gatekeepers of the brain and are responsible for the maintenance of cerebral homeostasis through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The development of CAA severely impacts brain health since it results in EC death, BBB breakdown, microhemorrhages, parenchymal Aβ accumulation, and is one of the earliest triggers for AD progression. EC dysfunction also affects other cells of the NVU, such as astrocytes or microglia, through finely regulated communication mechanism between these cells. Therefore, CAA-mediated EC dysfunction may also precipitate neuroinflammation in AD. Our preliminary data suggests that EC mitochondria serve as important sensors of Aβ damage. Previous studies have shown that mitochondria are responsible for the activation of inflammatory pathways through the release of mitochondrial danger associated molecular patterns (mtDAMPs), including mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), due to formation of the pathological mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). Both cerebrovascular dysfunction and inflammation are shown early in disease pathogenesis, suggesting that early EC (and thus, BBB) dysfunction may drive and perpetuate AD pathology also by triggering widespread neuroinflammation. Here, we will test the hypothesis that Aβ induces mitochondrial dysfunction in cerebral ECs through deleterious alterations in mitochondria function (mtROS and mPTP opening) and that these alterations further contribute to neurovascular dysfunction and inflammation in CAA and AD. This proposal seeks to understand the role of alterations in cerebral EC mitochondrial health and bioenergetics, specifically focusing on the modulation of mtROS and mPTP, on human EC inflammatory activation due to Aβ (Aim 1; K99: Y1 and Y2). Moreover, we want to assess how Aβ-induced cerebral EC inflammatory mediators contribute to glial mitochondrial dysfunction and activation, through the modulation of mtDAMPs, using a human iPSC-derived glial cell cultures (Aim 2; K99: Y2 and R00: Y1). Finally, using an animal model of amyloidosis presenting CAA and gliosis (TgSwDI), we will test the hypothesis that Aβ-induced endothelial mtROS and mPTP mediate neuroinflammation and cognitive decline, by treating the animals with a mtROS scavenger or depleting their ECs of CypD, the main mPTP regulator (Aim 3; R00: Y1-Y3). The proposed experiments will provide a novel understanding of the role of vascular mitochondria as initiators of inflammation in AD and CAA, potentially resulting in the development of new disease modifying therapeutic strategies.

抽象的在阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 中，以及在较小程度上在非痴呆个体中，β 淀粉样蛋白 (Aβ) 的沉积在脑血管周围发现这种疾病，称为脑淀粉样血管病 (CAA)。 AD 中 CAA 的发展以及随后的神经血管单元 (NVU) 功能障碍可能是由于 Aβ 清除途径重要的是，所有 Aβ 清除途径都涉及 Aβ 向脉管系统的移动。脑血管内皮细胞 (EC) 排列在所有脑血管中，是细胞的守门人。大脑并负责通过血脑屏障（BBB）维持大脑稳态。 CAA 的发展严重影响大脑健康，因为它会导致 EC 死亡、BBB 崩溃、微出血、实质 Aβ 积聚，是 AD 进展的最早触发因素之一。功能障碍还会通过精细调节影响 NVU 的其他细胞，例如星形胶质细胞或小胶质细胞因此，CAA 介导的 EC 功能障碍也可能会导致这些细胞之间的通讯机制。 AD 中的神经炎症。我们的初步数据表明 EC 线粒体是 Aβ 的重要传感器。先前的研究表明线粒体负责炎症的激活。通过释放线粒体危险相关分子模式 (mtDAMP) 的途径，包括线粒体活性氧 (mtROS)，由于病理性线粒体通透性的形成脑血管功能障碍和炎症均在疾病早期表现出来。发病机制，表明早期 EC（以及 BBB）功能障碍可能驱动并延续 AD 病理在这里，我们将检验 Aβ 诱导线粒体的假设。通过线粒体功能的有害改变（mtROS 和 mPTP 开放）导致大脑 EC 功能障碍这些改变进一步导致 CAA 和 AD 的神经血管功能障碍和炎症。该提案旨在了解大脑 EC 线粒体健康和生物能学变化的作用，特别关注 mtROS 和 mPTP 的调节，以及 Aβ 引起的人类 EC 炎症激活（目标 1；K99：Y1 和 Y2）此外，我们想要评估 Aβ 如何诱导脑 EC 炎症介质。通过使用人类的 mtDAMP 调节，导致胶质细胞线粒体功能障碍和激活 iPSC 衍生的神经胶质细胞培养物（目标 2；K99：Y2 和 R00：Y1）。 CAA 和神经胶质增生 (TgSwDI)，我们将检验 Aβ 诱导的内皮 mtROS 和 mPTP 的假设通过用 mtROS 清除剂或消耗剂治疗动物，介导神经炎症和认知能力下降他们的 CypD 的 EC，主要的 mPTP 调节器（目标 3；R00：Y1-Y3）。对血管线粒体作为 AD 和 CAA 炎症引发剂的作用的新认识，可能从而开发出新的疾病改变治疗策略。
