ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Respective changes in neurovascular coupling (NVC) and glymphatic function have been reported in post-stroke depression (PSD). Recent studies have found a link between NVC and waste clearance by the glymphatic system, which has not been illustrated in PSD.

METHOD:

We prospectively recruited ninety-six stroke patients and forty-four healthy controls (HC), with fifty-nine patients undergoing a second MRI scan. NVC metrics were investigated by exploring Pearson correlation coefficients and ratios between cerebral blood flow (CBF) and BOLD-derived quantitative maps (ALFF, fALFF, REHO maps). Diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular (DTI-ALPS) index was used to reflect glymphatic function. We first analyzed the altered NVC metrics in stroke patients relative to the HC group. Then, we explored the relationship between NVC metrics, ALPS index and depressive symptoms at baseline and during the follow-up period through correlation and mediation analyses.

RESULTS:

Stroke patients exhibited significantly lower global CBF-fALFF coupling and ALPS index. At the regional level, abnormal NVC alterations in brain regions involved in cognition, emotion, and sensorimotor function in PSD. Baseline analyses showed that ALPS index exhibited positive associations with both global and local NVC and abnormal regional NVC may contribute to generation of PSD by reducing glymphatic function (ß = -0.075, p < 0.05, CI = [-0.169 to -0.012]). Longitudinal analyses similarly showed that ALPS index changes were positively associated with changes in NVC and mediated improvements in depressive symptoms.

CONCLUSION:

Our findings suggest that NVC abnormalities leading to impaired glymphatic system function may be a potential neurobiological mechanism of PSD.
