  • Hakim MDA, Nye P, Buchholz JN and Behringer EJ Aging alters cerebrovascular endothelial GPCR and K+ channel function: Divergent role of gender. J Gerontol. 75(11): 2064-2073, 2020.   Age-related dementia entails impaired blood flow to and throughout the brain due, in part, to reduced endothelial nitric oxide signaling. However, it is unknown whether sex impacts cerebrovascular Gq-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and K+ channels underlying endothelium-derived hyperpolarization (EDH) during progressive aging. Thus, we simultaneously evaluated intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and membrane potential (Vm) of intact endothelial tubes freshly isolated from posterior cerebral arteries of young (4-6 mo), middle-aged (12-16 mo), and old (24-28 mo) male and female C57BL/6 mice. Purinergic receptor function (vs. muscarinic) was dominant and enhanced for [Ca2+]i increases in old females vs. old males. Although, Ca2+-sensitive K+ channel function as defined by NS309-evoked Vm hyperpolarization, was mildly impaired during female vs. male old age. This sex-based contrast in declined function of GPCRs and K+channels to produce EDH may support a greater ability for physiological endothelial GPCR function to maintain optimal cerebral blood flow in females vs. males during old age. As reflective of the pattern of cerebral blood flow decline in human subjects, KIR channel function decreased with progressive age regardless of sex. Total age-related analyses masked male vs. female aging and, contrary to expectation, hydrogen peroxide played a minimal role. Altogether, we conclude a sex-based divergence in cerebrovascular endothelial GPCR and K+ channel function while highlighting a previously unidentified form of age-related endothelial dysfunction as reduced KIR function.           (05/2021)
