Abstract

Hypertension (HT) is one of the main causes of vascular dementia, lead to cognitive decline. Here, we investigated the relationship between cerebral microvessels, pericytes, extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, and memory impairment at mid-life in a chronic hypertension animal model. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) (n = 20) are chosen for the model and age matched Wistar rats (n = 16) as controls. Changes in brain microvasculature and in vitro experiments are shown with immunofluorescence studies and cognition with open field, novel object recognition, and Y maze tests. There was a significant reduction in pericyte coverage in SHRs (p = 0.021), while the quantitative parameters of the cerebral microvascular network were not different between groups. On the other hand, parenchymal albumin leakage, as a Blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown marker, was prominent in SHRs (p = 0.023). Extracellular matrix (ECM) components, collagen type 1, 3 and 4 were significantly increased (accumulated) around microvasculature in SHRs (p = 0.011, p = 0.013, p = 0.037, respectively). Furthermore, in vitro experiments demonstrated that human brain vascular pericytes but not astrocytes and endothelial c...Continue Reading

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.
