ABSTRACT
Spontaneous cerebral vasomotion, characterized by â¼0.1 Hz rhythmic contractility, is crucial for brain homeostasis. However, our understanding of vasomotion is limited due to a lack of high-precision analytical methods to determine single vasomotion events at basal levels. Here, we developed a novel strategy that integrates a baseline smoothing algorithm, allowing precise measurements of vasodynamics and concomitant Ca2+ dynamics in mouse cerebral vasculature imaged by two-photon microscopy. We identified several previously unrecognized vasomotion properties under different physiological and pathological conditions, especially in ischemic stroke, which is a highly harmful brain disease that results from vessel occlusion. First, the dynamic characteristics between SMCs Ca2+ and corresponding arteriolar vasomotion are correlated. Second, compared to previous diameter-based estimations, our radius-based measurements reveal anisotropic vascular movements, enabling a more precise determination of the latency between smooth muscle cell (SMC) Ca2+ activity and vasoconstriction. Third, we characterized single vasomotion event kinetics at scales of less than 4 seconds. Finally, following pathological vasoconstrictions induced by ischemic stroke, vasoactive arterioles entered an inert state and persisted despite recanalization. In summary, we developed a highly accurate technique for analyzing spontaneous vasomotion, and our data suggested a potential strategy to reduce stroke damage by promoting vasomotion recovery.
