Vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) represents a broad spectrum of decline secondary to cerebral vascular aging injury. It is the second most common type dementia, prevalence continues increase. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (NRF2) enriched in vasculature has diverse roles metabolic balance, mitochondrial stabilization, redox anti-inflammation. In this review, we first briefly introduce cerebrovascular VCID NRF2 pathway. We then extensively discuss effects activation components such as endothelial cells, smooth muscle pericytes, perivascular macrophages. Finally, summarize clinical potential activators VCID.

Over the last two decades, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as an endogenous regulator of a broad range physiological functions. H2S belongs to class molecules known gasotransmitters, which typically include nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). Three enzymes are recognized sources in various cells tissues: cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), β-synthase (CBS), 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST). The present article reviews regulation these well pathways their enzymatic nonenzymatic degradation elimination. multiple interactions with other labile (e.g., NO) reactive oxygen species also outlined. Next, biological targets signaling outlined, special reference or oxidative posttranscriptional modification (persulfidation sulfhydration) proteins effect on channels intracellular second messenger pathways, gene transcription translation, cellular bioenergetics metabolism. pharmacological molecular tools currently available study physiology reviewed, including utility limitations.

The neurovascular unit (NVU) is a complex multi-cellular structure consisting of endothelial cells (ECs), neurons, glia, smooth muscle (SMCs), and pericytes. Each component closely linked to each other, establishing structural functional unit, regulating central nervous system (CNS) blood flow energy metabolism as well forming the blood-brain barrier (BBB) inner blood-retina (BRB). As name suggests, "neuro" "vascular" components NVU are recognized coupling key function NVU. However, consists multiple cell types its functionality goes beyond resulting coupling, with cross-component links signaling, metabolism, homeostasis. Within NVU, glia have gained increased attention it increasingly clear that they fulfill various multi-level functions in Glial dysfunctions were shown precede neuronal vascular pathologies suggesting roles for pathogenesis disease. In this review, we take "glio-centric" view on development retina brain, how these change disease, advancing experimental techniques will help us address unanswered questions.

In 1959, Niels Lassen illustrated the cerebral autoregulation curve in classic review article entitled Cerebral Blood Flow and Oxygen Consumption Man. This concept suggested a relatively broad mean arterial pressure range (~60–150 mmHg) wherein blood flow remains constant. However, assumption that this wide plateau could be applied on within-individual basis is incorrect greatly variable between individuals. Indeed, each data point autoregulatory originated from independent samples of participants patients represented interindividual relationships pressure. Nonetheless, influential commonly cited various high-impact publications medical textbooks, frequently taught science education without appropriate nuances caveats. Herein, we provide rationale additional experimental supporting notion need to lose dogmatic view autoregulation.

Abstract To match the metabolic demands of brain, mechanisms have evolved to couple neuronal activity vasodilation, thus increasing local cerebral blood flow and delivery oxygen glucose active neurons. Rather than relying on feedback signals such as consumption or glucose, main signalling pathways rely release vasoactive molecules by neurons astrocytes, which act contractile cells. Vascular smooth muscle cells pericytes are associated with arterioles capillaries, respectively, relax induce vasodilation. Much progress has been made in understanding complex neurovascular coupling, but issues contributions capillary astrocyte calcium signal remain contentious.

To meet the high energy demands of brain function, cerebral blood flow (CBF) parallels changes in neuronal activity by a mechanism known as neurovascular coupling (NVC). However, which neurons play role mediating NVC is not well understood. Here, we identify mice and humans specific population cortical GABAergic that co-express nitric oxide synthase tachykinin receptor 1 (Tacr1). Through whole-tissue clearing, demonstrate Tacr1 extend local long-range projections across functionally connected areas. We show whisker stimulation elicited neuron barrel cortex through feedforward excitatory pathways. Additionally, optogenetic experiments, are instrumental CBF relaxation mural cells similar fashion to stimulation. Finally, electron microscopy, observe processes contact astrocytic endfeet.
