abstract = {Chronic arterial hypertension causes cerebral microvascular
dysfunction and increases dementia risk in aging. However,
cognitive health preservation by therapeutic blood pressure
lowering alone is limited and depends on disease duration,
the degree of irreversible tissue damage, and whether
microvascular function can be restored. This study aimed to
understand molecular and cellular temporospatial mechanisms
of disease in the course of hypertension.We investigated the
effects of initial, early chronic and late chronic
hypertension in the frontal brain of spontaneously
hypertensive stroke-prone rats by applying behavioral tests,
histopathology, immunofluorescence, fluorescence-activated
cell sorting, microvascular/neural tissue RNA sequencing,
and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography
imaging.Chronic hypertension caused behavioral deficits
associated with frontal cortex function. Our results
highlight stage-dependent responses to continuous
microvascular stress and wounding by hypertension. Early
chronic responses included a fast recruitment of activated
microglia to the blood vessels, immigration of peripheral
immune cells, blood-brain barrier breakdown and an
energy-demanding hypermetabolic state. Vascular adaptation
mechanisms were observed in later stages and included
angiogenesis and upregulation of cellular adhesion molecules
and extracellular matrix. Among the top upregulated genes in
blood vessels, we identified Igfbp-5, which attenuates
protective insulin-like growth factor 1 signaling.Our study
provides new insight into mechanisms underlying hypertensive
pathobiology and highlights its stage-dependent nature. This
groundwork will be helpful for basic and clinical research
to identify stage-dependent markers in the human disease
course, investigate stage-dependent interventions besides
blood pressure lowering, and better understand the
relationship between poor vascular health and
neurodegenerative diseases.},
