ApoE deficiency leads to a progressive age-dependent blood-brain barrier leakage
Abstract
Previously, we reported a defect in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) of apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE-/-) mice (24). Here, we investigate BBB permeability in wild-type (WT) and apoE-/- mice as a function of age. Both WT and apoE-/- mice showed significantly increased cortical BBB leakage with age. However, in apoE-/- mice, the leakage increased at a 3.7 x higher rate compared with WT mice. Surprisingly, the cerebellum showed significantly more leakage than other brain regions across age, while there was no difference between the two hemispheres. To determine the contribution of tissue- vs. blood-borne apoE to vascular permeability, we generated chimeric mice by bone marrow transplantation and measured their BBB leakage. These experiments suggest that both blood- and tissue-derived apoE are equally important for BBB function. In sum, we find an age-dependent defect in the BBB that is exacerbated in apoE-/- mice. Since vascular defects are found in patients with age-related neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, age-related BBB leakage could underlie these defects and may thus be an important contributor to the cumulative neuronal damage of these diseases.

Transgenic mice lacking Apoe develop an early BBB breakdown.
“Transgenic mice lacking Apoe also develop an early BBB breakdown (60, 99, 147, 187, 226, 233, 406, 426, 437, 554), indicating that APOE is essential for maintaining BBB integrity.”

ApoE deficiency in mice has been shown to be associated with BBB dysfunction where both blood- and tissue-derived ApoE were found to be equally important for BBB function and thus relevant to age-related neurodegenerative diseases, like AD.

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.
