Physiological Emergence of Amyloid-β During the Acute Cerebral Stress of Mechanical Ventilation Reduces Peri-Hippocampal and Cortical Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability and Neuronal Injury
Abstract:Background: Prior published data show that short-term mechanical ventilation contributes to pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) by increasing cerebral accumulation of the amyloid-β1-40 (Aβ1-40) peptide and neuroinflammation while unexpectedly decreasing blood-brain barrier permeability. In this study, we hypothesized that the acute cerebral immunochallenge of mechanical ventilation promotes physiological emergence of Aβ1-40 to regions of acute vascular disruption, resulting in reduced neuronal i… Show more
