Endothelial-Ercc1 DNA repair deficiency provokes blood-brain barrier dysfunction
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Aging of the brain vasculature plays a key role in the development of neurovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, thereby contributing to cognitive impairment. Among other factors, DNA damage strongly promotes cellular aging, however, the role of genomic instability in brain endothelial cells (EC) and its potential effect on brain homeostasis is still largely unclear. We here investigated how endothelial aging impacts blood-brain barrier (BBB) function by using excision repair cross complementation group 1 (ERCC1)-deficient human brain ECs and an EC-specific Ercc1 knock out (EC-KO) mouse model. In vitro, ERCC1-deficient brain ECs displayed increased senescence-associated secretory phenotype expression, reduced BBB integrity, and higher sprouting capacities due to an underlying dysregulation of the Dll4-Notch pathway. In line, EC-KO mice showed more P21 + cells, augmented expression of angiogenic markers, and a concomitant increase in the number of brain ECs and pericytes. Moreover, EC-KO mice displayed BBB leakage and enhanced cell adhesion molecule expression accompanied by peripheral immune cell infiltration into the brain. These findings were confined to the white matter, suggesting a regional susceptibility. Collectively, our results underline the role of endothelial aging as a driver of impaired BBB function, endothelial sprouting, and increased immune cell migration into the brain, thereby contributing to impaired brain homeostasis as observed during the aging process.

Dysfunction of SHIP1 has been associated with a spectrum of diseases, including AD, AML, SLE, RA.
“As such, dysfunction of SHIP1 has been associated with a spectrum of diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA)3–6.”
From INPP5D/SHIP1 regulates endo-lysosomal function and cargo-selective phagocytosis in human microglia (2025) · cites this paper as [6]
The Results section on ERCC1 deficiency and blood-brain barrier impairment concerns ERCC1, not SHIP1. Searches of our copy for SHIP1, INPP5D, acute myeloid leukemia, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis found no passage linking SHIP1 dysfunction to the listed diseases. The paper mentions Alzheimer’s disease in another context, without making the claimed SHIP1 association. (LLM, conf=0.77)

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.
