Mechanistic pathways underlying altered neurovascular coupling in brain metastasis

Abstract:

Objectives: It is recognised that astrocytes form a physical bridge between neurons and the cerebrovasculature. Astrocytic end-feet help maintain endothelial tight junctions to support the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and release vasoactive molecules that regulate vascular tone. In secondary cancer (metastasis) to the brain, astrocytes are displaced from the vasculature and become activated, and we have shown that neurovascular coupling is compromised in rat model of brain metastasis (Serres et ...
