The influence of alterations in the composition of intestinal microbiota on neurovascular coupling and cognitive dysfunction in individuals afflicted with CSVD
Introduction
An expanding body of research has explored the crucial role of gut microbiota in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). The objective of this study is to investigate alterations in the gut microbiota structure among CSVD patients, to explore the correlation between differential taxonomic levels and the neurovascular coupling index as well as cognitive function and to elucidate the imaging and biomarkers of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in CSVD.
Methods
We enrolled 104 patients with CSVD and 40 healthy controls (HC). Based on cognitive test scores, CSVD patients were categorized into a cognitively normal group (CSVD-NCI, n=61) and a mild cognitive impairment group (CSVD-MCI, n=43). Performing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, gut microbiota analysis, as well as clinical and neuropsychological assessments for all participants. Based on arterial spin labeling (ASL) and blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) imaging data, cerebral blood flow (CBF) and neural activity indices are computed. The coupling indices of CBF/mReHo, CBF/mfALFF, CBF/mALFF, and CBF/mDC are calculated to assess the whole-brain neurovascular coupling changes in patients with CSVD.
Results
Species annotation revealed differences in the composition at the phylum and genus levels among the HC, CSVD-NCI, and CSVD-MCI groups. Additionally, differential analysis using the Kruskal-Wallis test demonstrated specific dominant microbial communities in all three groups. The relative abundance of certain dominant microbial communities in CSVD patients exhibited correlations with neurovascular coupling and cognitive function. The combined assessment of Bacteroides genus and CBF/mDC proved effective in distinguishing between CSVD-NCI and CSVD-MCI, providing a novel non-invasive approach for the diagnosis of MCI in CSVD.
期刊介绍:
The Brain Research Bulletin (BRB) aims to publish novel work that advances our knowledge of molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie neural network properties associated with behavior, cognition and other brain functions during neurodevelopment and in the adult. Although clinical research is out of the Journal''s scope, the BRB also aims to publish translation research that provides insight into biological mechanisms and processes associated with neurodegeneration mechanisms, neurological diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders. The Journal is especially interested in research using novel methodologies, such as optogenetics, multielectrode array recordings and life imaging in wild-type and genetically-modified animal models, with the goal to advance our understanding of how neurons, glia and networks function in vivo.
