The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a peripheral-central defense mechanism that significantly impacts diabetes-related brain complications. Under hyperglycemic conditions, the BBB undergoes pathological structural alterations, leading to increased permeability and transport dysfunction. Clinically, BBB damage induces diabetes-related brain complications such as cognitive impairment, stroke, and depression. Notably, BBB damage can occur before the onset of disease symptoms in the brain and may serve as a predictor of disease progression and prognosis. Hyperglycemia is the main cause of BBB damage and can induce oxidative stress, inflammatory response, Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulation, and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) signaling axis activation. These factors lead to endothelial dysfunction, disruption of tight junction proteins, loss of pericytes, activation of astrocytes and microglia, disruption of the actin cytoskeleton, alterations in the basement membrane, and an increase in matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Collectively, these processes contribute to brain injury in patients with diabetes. Lifestyle interventions and hypoglycemic, antihypertensive, and lipid-lowering agents play therapeutic roles in BBB damage and diabetes-related brain complications. However, the role of some drugs in this context is controversial and remains known only at the animal and cellular levels. Several studies have investigated the therapeutic potential of targeted nanomedicines and natural compounds; however, it remains challenging to translate their research findings to clinical practice. In conclusion, this review highlights the clinical evidence, pathological mechanisms, and existing treatment options for BBB damage in patients with diabetes-related brain complications. It also demonstrates the potential of targeted nanomedicines and natural compounds, providing a foundation for future research.</p>","PeriodicalId":7434,"journal":{"name":"Aging and Disease","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144336224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mechanistically, exercise exerts dual therapeutic effects: (1) hypertrophy of type II muscle fibers through IGF-1/Akt/mTORC1 signaling activation, and (2) enhanced lipid β-oxidation via AMPK/PGC1α axis stimulation, thereby mitigating both sarcopenia and adiposity. The autophagy-lysosome system, a conserved cellular quality-control mechanism, orchestrates organelle turnover and nutrient recycling through three distinct pathways: macroautophagic, chaperone-mediated autophagy, and mitophagy. In SO, impaired proteolytic and lipolytic processes converge to induce autophagic flux blockade, manifested by accumulated p62/SQSTM1 and reduced LC3-II/LC3-I ratio. Targeting the AMPK/mTOR signaling nexus, which senses cellular energy status, emerges as a strategic intervention.

However, little is known about the long-term fate of pericytes and their contribution to sustained microcirculation dysfunction in prolonged period of time. We conducted repeated longitudinal observations of pericyte fate and function, as well as blood flow dynamics across multiple vascular segments, using two-photon imaging in PDGFRβ-tdTomato mice subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) over a 14-day period. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify imaging features independently associated with capillary perfusion on day 14. Types of pericyte death were assessed using immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. Fasudil and the RIPK1 inhibitor necrostatin-1 were administered to modulate pericyte dysfunction and survival during the acute and subacute phases of stroke. Outcomes were evaluated by total capillary perfusion, infarct volume, blood brain barrier (BBB) integrity, and neurological function over 14 days. Pericyte loss observed on day 7 post-stroke was independently associated with impaired microcirculation perfusion, as indicated by a reduction in total capillary volume. While fasudil treatment alone improved microcirculation perfusion on day 3, it did not alter pericyte fate or improve outcomes by day 14. Necroptosis was found to contribute to delayed pericyte loss in the ischemic penumbra. Combined therapy with fasudil and necrostatin-1 effectively prevented delayed pericytes loss and improved both microcirculation perfusion and neurological outcomes on day 14. Delayed pericyte loss contributes to irreversible microcirculation dysfunction in the subacute phase of stroke.
