abstract = {Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a major cause of
stroke and dementia. The underlying pathogenesis is poorly
understood, but both neuroinflammation and increased
blood–brain barrier permeability have been hypothesized to
play a role, and preclinical studies suggest the two
processes may be linked. We used PET magnetic resonance to
simultaneously measure microglial activation using the
translocator protein radioligand 11C-PK11195, and
blood–brain barrier permeability using dynamic contrast
enhanced MRI. A case control design was used with two
disease groups with sporadic SVD (n = 20), monogenic SVD
(cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical
infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, CADASIL), and normal
controls (n = 20) were studied. Hotspots of increased
glial activation and blood–brain barrier permeability were
identified as values greater than the 95th percentile of the
distribution in controls. In sporadic SVD there was an
increase in the volume of hotspots of both 11C-PK11195
binding (P = 0.003) and blood–brain barrier
permeability (P = 0.007) in the normal appearing white
matter, in addition to increased mean blood–brain barrier
permeability (P < 0.001). In CADASIL no increase in
blood–brain barrier permeability was detected; there was a
non-significant trend to increased 11C-PK11195 binding
(P = 0.073). Hotspots of 11C-PK11195 binding and
blood–brain barrier permeability were not spatially
related. A panel of 93 blood biomarkers relating to
cardiovascular disease, inflammation and endothelial
activation were measured in each participant; principal
component analysis was performed and the first component
related to blood–brain barrier permeability and microglial
activation. Within the sporadic SVD group both hotspot and
mean volume blood–brain barrier permeability values in the
normal appearing white matter were associated with dimension
1 (β = 0.829, P = 0.017, and β = 0.976,
P = 0.003, respectively). There was no association with
11C-PK11195 binding. No associations with blood markers were
found in the CADASIL group. In conclusion, in sporadic SVD
both microglial activation and increased blood–brain
barrier permeability occur, but these are spatially distinct
processes. No evidence of increased blood–brain barrier
permeability was found in CADASIL.},
