A high risk factor for spontaneous and often fatal lobar hemorrhage
is cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). We now report that CAA in an
amyloid precursor protein transgenic mouse model (APP23 mice) leads to
a loss of vascular smooth muscle cells, aneurysmal vasodilatation, and
in rare cases, vessel obliteration and severe vasculitis. This
weakening of the vessel wall is followed by rupture and bleedings that
range from multiple, recurrent microhemorrhages to large hematomas. Our
results demonstrate that, in APP transgenic mice, the extracellular
deposition of neuron-derived -amyloid in the vessel wall is the
cause of vessel wall disruption, which eventually leads to parenchymal
hemorrhage. This first mouse model of CAA-associated hemorrhagic stroke
will now allow development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
