Title Synaptic-like transmission between neural axons and arterial smooth muscle cells drives cerebral neurovascular coupling
Organism Mus musculus
Experiment type Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary Normally functioning brains depend on neurovascular coupling (NVC) and its dysfunction underlies many neuropathologies. Although cell-type specificity has been implicated in NVC, how active neural information is specifically conveyed to the targeted arterioles in the brain remains poorly understood. Here, using two-photon focal optogenetics in the mouse cerebral cortex, we demonstrated that single glutamatergic axons dilate their innervating arterioles via synaptic-like transmission between neural-arteriolar smooth muscle cells junction (NsMJ). The presynaptic parental-daughter bouton makes dual innervations on postsynaptic dendrites and on arteriolar smooth muscles cells (aSMCs), which expressed many types of neuromediator receptors, including glutamate NMDA receptor subunit 1 (Grin1). Disruption of NsMJ transmission, by aSMC specific knockout of GluN1, diminished the optogenetic and whisker stimulation-caused functional hyperemia. Notably, the absence of GluN1 subunit in aSMCs protected the brain atrophy from cerebral ischemia by preventing Ca2+ overload in aSMCs during arteriolar constriction caused by the ischemia-induced spreading depolarization. Our findings reveal that NsMJ transmission drives neurovascular coupling and also open up a new avenue for studying stroke.
