Passive immunotherapy targeting amyloid-b reduces cerebral amyloid angiopathy and improves vascular reactivity
Prominent cerebral amyloid angiopathy is often observed in the brains of elderly individuals and is almost universally found in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is characterized by accumulation of the shorter amyloid-b isoform(s) (predominantly amyloid-b40) in the walls of leptomeningeal and cortical arterioles and is likely a contributory factor to vascular dysfun...

متن کاملAge-dependent neurovascular dysfunction and damage in a mouse model of cerebral amyloid angiopathy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Accumulation of amyloid-β in cerebral blood vessels occurs in familial and sporadic forms of cerebral amyloid angiopathy and is a prominent feature of Alzheimer disease. However, the functional correlates of the vascular pathology induced by cerebral amyloid angiopathy and the mechanisms involved have not been fully established. METHODS We used male transgenic mice expr...
متن کاملThrombolysis in experimental cerebral amyloid angiopathy and the risk of secondary intracerebral hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most adverse event of thrombolysis in ischemic stroke. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy increases the risk for spontaneous lobar ICH. Although thrombolysis may be performed in cerebral amyloid angiopathy-affected patients, there is still little knowledge available on the risk for secondary ICH. METHODS We investigated the effect of recom...
متن کاملNeurobiology of Disease Reducing Cerebral Microvascular Amyloid- Protein Deposition Diminishes Regional Neuroinflammation in Vasculotropic Mutant Amyloid Precursor Protein Transgenic Mice
Cerebral microvascular amyloid(A ) protein deposition is emerging as an important contributory factor to neuroinflammation and dementia in Alzheimer’s disease and related familial cerebral amyloid angiopathy disorders. In particular, cerebral microvascular amyloid deposition, but not parenchymal amyloid, is more often correlated with dementia. Recently, we generated transgenic mice (Tg-SwDI) ex...
متن کاملAnalysis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer disease using in vivo multiphoton microscopy.
Transgenic mice overexpressing the human amyloid precursor protein (APPV717F) develop cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) as they age. We have examined the effect of CAA on blood vessels in vivo using multiphoton laser scanning microscopy. We are able to simultaneously detect, in an alive but anesthetized animal, fluorescent angiography of microvessels as well as the presence of amyloid angiopath...
