Impaired neurovascular coupling in aging and Alzheimer's disease: Contribution of astrocyte dysfunction and endothelial impairment to cognitive decline
Open accessAbstract
The importance of (micro)vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) in aging cannot be overemphasized, and the pathogenesis and prevention of age-related cerebromicrovascular pathologies are a subject of intensive research. In particular, aging impairs the increase in cerebral blood flow triggered by neural activation (termed neurovascular coupling or functional hyperemia), a critical mechanism that matches oxygen and nutrient delivery with the increased demands in active brain regions. From epidemiological, clinical and experimental studies the picture emerges of a complex functional impairment of cerebral microvessels and astrocytes, which likely contribute to neurovascular dysfunction and cognitive decline in aging and in age-related neurodegenerative diseases. This overview discusses age-related alterations in neurovascular coupling responses responsible for impaired functional hyperemia. The mechanisms and consequences of astrocyte dysfunction (including potential alteration of astrocytic endfeet calcium signaling, dysregulation of eicosanoid gliotransmitters and astrocyte energetics) and functional impairment of the microvascular endothelium are explored. Age-related mechanisms (cellular oxidative stress, senescence, circulating IGF-1 deficiency) impairing the function of cells of the neurovascular unit are discussed and the evidence for the causal role of neurovascular uncoupling in cognitive decline is critically examined.

Aging-induced dysregulation of microvascular endothelial function and phenotype critically contributes to the pathogenesis of both vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
“There is strong evidence that aging-induced dysregulation of microvascular endothelial function and phenotype critically contributes to the pathogenesis of both vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and Alzheimer ' s disease (AD)”
From Single-cell RNA sequencing identifies senescent cerebromicrovascular endothelial cells in the aged mouse brain (2020) · cites this paper as Tarantini et al. 2017a
The Introduction section on oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction says age-related endothelial dysfunction contributes significantly to neurovascular uncoupling, and the section on Alzheimer’s disease describes growing evidence for a causal role of microvascular alterations in AD. The paper does not establish that aging-induced changes in endothelial function and phenotype critically cause the pathogenesis of both VCI and AD; it presents a narrower, partly qualified account of neurovascular dysfunction and cognitive decline.

“Recently, to recognize the contribution of cerebromicrovascular mechanisms to age-related cognitive decline the phrase “vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID)” was introduced (Corriveau et al. 2016; Gorelick et al. 2011; Snyder et al. 2015b).”

“Endothelial dysfunction or a broader blood-brain barrier dysfunction may be the key links, as they may lead to both WMH and impaired brain-blood amyloid clearance, thus favouring brain amyloid accumulation (Yamazaki and Kanekiyo, 2017; Tarantini et al., 2017; Koizumi et al., 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
