Hypertension-Induced Neurovascular and Cognitive Dysfunction at Single-Cell Resolution

ABSTRACT: Arterial hypertension is a leading cause of cognitive impairment, attributed to hemodynamic insufficiency, blood-brain barrier disruption, and white matter damage. However, the molecular mechanisms by which hypertension affects brain cells remain unclear. Using scRNA-seq in a mouse model of hypertension induced by angiotensin II, we mapped neocortical transcriptomic changes before (3 days) and after (42 days) onset of neurovascular and cognitive deficits. Surprisingly, evidence of endothelial transport disruption and senescence, stalled oligodendrocyte differentiation, interneuronal hypofunction and network imbalance emerged after just 3 days. By 42 days, when cognitive impairment becomes apparent, deficits in myelination and axonal conduction, as well as neuronal mitochondrial dysfunction developed. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized early vulnerability of endothelial cells, interneurons, and oligodendrocytes, and provide the molecular bases for the subsequent neurovascular dysfunction and cognitive impairment in hypertension. In addition, the data constitute a valuable resource for future mechanistic studies and therapeutic target validation.

Single cell transcriptomic analysis of cortical cell type composition underlying diabetes-associated cognitive decline

Project description:Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with increased risk of cognitive decline although the precise underlying pathogenesis remains obscure. Based on the single-cell RNA sequencing approach applied to the cerebral cortex of a T2D mouse model (db/db), we identified novel regulatory mechanisms underlying diabetes-associated cognitive deficits. Our data adds detail to the highly complex neurovascular pathology associated with T2D and highlights key cell-specific deficits in mitochondrial bioenergetics linked to neuroinflammation, which underlie T2D-linked cognitive impairment.

Post-Stroke Learning Impairment and Brain Hemorrhage are Augmented in Hypertensive Mice

Project description:Hypertension is a major risk factor for both stroke and cognitive impairment, but it is unclear whether it may specifically affect post-stroke cognitive impairment. We assessed the effect of hypertension and/or stroke on brain injury, cognitive outcome, and the brain transcriptomic profile. C57BL/6J mice (n=117; 3-5 mo.) received s.c. infusion of either saline or angiotensin II (for 14 d or 28 d) followed by sham surgery or photothrombotic stroke targeting the prefrontal cortex seven days later. Cognitive function was assessed with the Barnes maze. RNA sequencing was used to quantify transcriptomic changes in the brain. Angiotensin II treatment produced spontaneous hemorrhaging on the stroke brain. In the Barnes maze, hypertensive mice that received stroke surgery had an increased escape latency compared to other groups (day 3: hypertensive + stroke=166.6±6.0 s vs. hypertensive + sham=122.8±13.8 s vs. normotensive + stroke=139.9±10.1 s vs. normotensive + sham=101.9±16.7 s), consistent with a greater learning impairment. RNA sequencing revealed >800 differentially expressed genes related to neuroinflammation in hypertensive + stroke vs. hypertensive + sham, which included genes associated with apoptosis, microRNAs, autophagy, anti-cognitive biomarkers and Wnt signaling. The combination of hypertension and stroke resulted in greater learning impairment and brain injury.

Proteomic analysis reveals the neurotoxic effects of chronic methamphetamine self-administration-induced cognitive impairments and the role of melatonin-enhanced restorative process during drug withdrawal.

Project description:, this study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying neuropathological processes related to cognitive impairment in mice chronically-treated with METH. In addition, the effective melatonin on recovery of neurological dysfunction and neurobehavioral deficits during METH withdrawal was also investigated. Cognitive function was evaluated in mice after chronic METH administration and METH withdrawal, and the effect of melatonin treatment during the withdrawal phase on cognitive function was also assessed. In addition, the profile of proteins related to mitochondrial and neurological functions in PFC was determined using proteomic and western blot analysis.

Synaptic vesicle endocytosis deficits underlie GBA-linked cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease and Dementia with Lewy bodies

Project description:GBA mutations are major risk factors for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), two common α-synucleinopathies associated with cognitive impairment. Here, we investigated the role of GBA mutations in cognitive decline by utilizing Gba L444P mutant mice, SNCA transgenic (tg), and Gba-SNCA double mutant mice. Notably, Gba mutant mice showed early cognitive deficits but no PD-like motor deficits up to 12 months old. Conversely, SNCA tg mice displayed age-related motor deficits but no cognitive abnormalities. Gba-SNCA mice exhibited exacerbated motor deficits and cognitive decline. Immunohistological analysis revealed cortical phospho-α-synuclein pathology in SNCA tg mice, which was exacerbated in Gba-SNCA mice, especially in layer 5 cortical neurons. Significantly, Gba mutant mice did not show α-synuclein pathology. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing of cortices instead uncovered selective synaptic vesicle cycle defects in excitatory neurons of Gba mutant and Gba-SNCA mice, via robust downregulation in gene networks regulating synapse vesicle cycle and synapse assembly. Meanwhile SNCA tg mice displayed broader synaptic changes. Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic analyses validated these findings. Together, our results indicate that Gba mutations, while exacerbating pre-existing α-synuclein aggregation and PD-like motor deficits, contribute to cognitive deficits through α-synuclein-independent mechanisms, likely involving dysfunction in synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Additionally, Gba-SNCA mice are a valuable model for studying cognitive and motor deficits in PD and DLB

Neurodevelopmental and behavioral defects in congenital heart disease [EMX-cre RNAseq]

Project description:Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a severe congenital heart disease associated with microcephaly and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. Here we show that the Ohia HLHS mouse model, with mutations in Sap130, a chromatin modifier, and Pcdha9, a cell adhesion protein, also exhibits microcephaly associated with mitotic block and increased apoptosis leading to impaired cortical neurogenesis. Transcriptome profiling, DNA methylation, and Sap130 ChIPseq analyses all demonstrated dysregulation of genes associated with neurogenesis, cognitive impairment and autism. This involved perturbation of REST transcriptional regulation of neurogenesis, disruption of CREB signaling regulating synaptic plasticity, and defects in neurovascular coupling mediating cerebral blood flow. Adult mice harboring either the Pcdha9 mutation, which showed normal brain anatomy, or forebrain-specific Sap130 deletion via Emx1-Cre, which showed microcephaly, both demonstrated learning and memory deficits and autism-like behavior. These novel findings provide mechanistic insights indicating the adverse neurodevelopment in HLHS may involve cell autonomous/nonautonomous defects and epigenetic dysregulation.
