AbstractCADASIL is a small vessel disease caused by mutations inNOTCH3that lead to an odd number of cysteines in the EGF-like repeat domain, causing protein misfolding and aggregation. The main symptoms are migraine, psychiatric disturbances, recurrent strokes and dementia, being executive function characteristically impaired. The molecular pathways altered by this receptor aggregation need to be studied further. A genome-wide transcriptome study (four cases paired with three healthy siblings) was carried out, in addition to a qRT-PCR for validation purposes (ten new cases and eight new controls). To study the expression profile by cell type of the significant mRNAs found, we performed an in situ hybridization (ISH) (nine cases and eight controls) and a research in the Single-nuclei Brain RNA-seq expression browser (SNBREB). Pathway analysis enrichment was carried out with Gene Ontology and Reactome. Neuropsychological tests were performed in five of the qRT-PCR cases. The two most significant differentially expressed mRNAs (BANP,p-value = 7.23 × 10–4andPDCD6IP,p-value = 8.36 × 10–4) were selected for the validation study by qRT-PCR. Additionally, we selected two more mRNAs (CAMK2G,p-value = 4.52 × 10–3andE2F4,p-value = 4.77 × 10–3) due to their association with ischemic neuronal death.E2F4showed differential expression in the genome-wide transcriptome study and in the qRT-PCR (p = 1.23 × 10–3), and it was upregulated in CADASIL cases. Furthermore, higherE2F4expression was associated with worse executive function (p = 2.04 × 10–2) and attention and information processing speed (IPS) (p = 8.73 × 10–2). In situ hibridization showedE2F4expression in endothelial and vascular smooth vessel cells. In silico studies indicated thatE2F4is also expressed in brain endothelial cells. Among the most significant pathways analyzed, there was an enrichment of vascular development, cell adhesion and vesicular machinery terms and autophagy process. E2F4 is more highly expressed in the skin biopsy of CADASIL patients compared to controls, and its expression is present in endothelial cells and VSMCs. Further studies are needed to understand whether E2F4 could be useful as a biomarker, to monitor the disease or be used as a therapeutic target.
