项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is any level of cognitive alteration that is attributable to cerebrovascular pathologies. After Alzheimer disease, VCI is the second leading cause of dementia and accounts for ~15-30% of all dementia cases. Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) accounts for up to 20% of all strokes and is the most common pathology underlying VCI. Importantly, the pathogenesis of cSVD is incompletely understood which represents a major barrier in developing therapies for the disease. Using genetic models of human cSVD we have identified two potentially novel molecular mechanisms in different cell types that only manifest in aged mice and that may contribute to progressive cSVD. Our data suggest that cSVD may represent a mechanistically diverse collection of diseases that share similar endpoints and that investigation of multiple disease models will be required to understand the full pathophysiological profile. Our interdisciplinary team of experts will incorporate unique genetic resources, vascular pressure myography, patch-clamp electrophysiology, calcium imaging, specialized magnetic resonance imaging modalities and learning and memory behavior assays to 1) Develop and characterize multiple novel genetic models of cSVD using genes that contribute to both familial and sporadic disease in humans 2) test a potential disease-modifying intervention and functionally stratify potentially distinct classes of mutations and 3) compare the relative contributions of different neurovascular unit cell types and address the extent to which defects are cell autonomous or non-autonomous. Our long-term objective is to understand the heterogeneity underlying cSVD and determine if there are convergent or overlapping pathways that might represent therapeutic targets for mechanism-based interventions.

项目摘要血管认知障碍（VCI）是归因于脑血管的任何认知改变病理。阿尔茨海默氏病后，VCI是痴呆症的第二大原因，占约15-30％在所有痴呆症病例中。脑小血管疾病（CSVD）占所有中风的20％，是 VCI的最常见病理。重要的是，CSVD的发病机理未完全理解这代表了开发该疾病疗法的主要障碍。使用人类的遗传模型 CSVD我们已经确定了不同细胞类型中的两个潜在的新型分子机制，仅表现出来在老年小鼠中，这可能会导致进步的CSVD。我们的数据表明CSVD可能代表机械多样性的疾病收集，共享相似的终点并研究多个疾病疾病模型将被要求了解完整的病理生理特征。我们的跨学科团队专家将融合独特的遗传资源，血管压力密码，斑块钳电生理学，钙成像，专业的磁共振成像方式和学习以及记忆行为测定1）使用基因开发和表征CSVD的多种新型遗传模型这有助于人类中的家族性和零星疾病2）测试潜在的疾病调整干预并在功能上分层可能不同的突变类别，3）比较相对不同神经血管单位细胞类型的贡献并解决了缺陷为细胞的程度自主或非自主。我们的长期目标是了解CSVD的异质性并确定是否有收敛或重叠的途径可能代表基于机制的干预措施。
