    Abstract Cerebrovascular fragility and cerebral microhemorrhages (CMH) contribute to age-related cognitive impairment, mobility defects, and vascular cognitive impairment and dementia, impairing healthspan and reducing quality of life in the elderly. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a key vasoprotective growth factor that is reduced during aging. Circulating IGF-1 deficiency leads to the development of CMH and other signs of cerebrovascular dysfunction. Here our goal was to understand the contribution of IGF-1 signaling on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to the development of CMH and associated gait defects. We used an inducible VSMC-specific promoter and an IGF-1 receptor (Igf1r) floxed mouse line (Myh11-Cre

    Abstract Introduction: Cerebrovascular pathologies contribute to cognitive decline during aging, leading to vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). Levels of circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a vasoprotective hormone, decrease during aging. Decreased circulating IGF-1 in animal models leads to the development of VCID-like symptoms, but the cellular mechanisms underlying IGF-1-deficiency associated pathologies in the aged cerebrovasculature remain poorly understood. Here, we test the hypothesis that vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play an integral part in mediating the vasoprotective effects of IGF-1.
    Methods: We used a hypertension-based model of cerebrovascular dysfunction in mice with VSMC-specific IGF-1 receptor (
    Results: VSMC-specific
    Discussion: These studies suggest that VSMCs are key targets for IGF-1 in the context of cerebrovascular health, playing a role in vessel stability alongside other cells in the neurovascular unit, and that VSMC dysfunction in aging likely contributes to VCID.

    Abstract Age-related cerebrovascular defects contribute to vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) as well as other forms of dementia. There has been great interest in developing biomarkers and other tools for studying cerebrovascular disease using more easily accessible tissues outside the brain such as the retina. Decreased circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels in aging are thought to contribute to the development of cerebrovascular impairment, a hypothesis that has been supported by the use of IGF-1 deficient animal models. Here we evaluate vascular and other retinal phenotypes in animals with circulating IGF-1 deficiency and ask whether the retina mimics common age-related vascular changes in the brain such as the development of microhemorrhages. Using a hypertension-induced model, we confirm that IGF-1 deficient mice exhibited worsened microhemorrhages than controls. The retinas of IGF-1 deficient animals do not exhibit microhemorrhages but do exhibit signs of vascular damage and retinal stress such as patterns of vascular constriction and Müller cell activation. These signs of retinal stress are not accompanied by retinal degeneration or impaired neuronal function. These data suggest that the role of IGF-1 in the retina is complex, and while IGF-1 deficiency leads to vascular defects in both the brain and the retina, not all brain pathologies are evident in the retina.
