As frontline sentinels of the neuroimmune system, BAMs perform essential functions in immune surveillance, barrier integrity maintenance, and homeostatic regulation, yet their unique biology and disease-associated roles remain incompletely characterized compared to parenchymal microglia. This review aims to synthesize current knowledge on BAM ontogenetic origins, compartment-specific heterogeneity, transcriptional programs, and functional outputs in both health and neurological disorders. We conducted a comprehensive literature analysis integrating findings from lineage tracing studies, single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and functional interrogation in animal models of disease. The results reveal that BAMs exhibit remarkable cellular diversity shaped by distinct ontogenetic origins-primarily yolk sac-derived erythro-myeloid progenitors with variable contributions from fetal liver and postnatal monocytes depending on anatomical compartment. Compartment-specific marker combinations (CD206, LYVE1, CD163, MHCII) define functionally distinct subsets, and core transcriptional regulators including PU.1 and IRF8 maintain BAM identity while CSF-1/IL-34-CSF1R signaling governs survival and renewal. In neurological disorders including ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and brain tumors, BAMs display pronounced double-edged roles, transitioning from protective homeostatic guardians to pathogenic drivers depending on disease stage and microenvironmental context. This comprehensive analysis establishes a unified framework for understanding BAM biology and identifies critical opportunities for developing subset-specific therapeutic strategies targeting these interface macrophages in neurological diseases. - Source: PubMed

Liu XuetingLi MingyueWei ZengrongShang TongZou Wei - Hyaluronan (HA) receptors are expressed in a wide variety of different tissues and have long been known to support the critical cellular functions of adhesion and motility, in addition to a range of different physiological and pathological processes, including immunity, inflammation and tumour metastasis. In recent years, LYVE-1, an HA receptor largely but not exclusively restricted to the endothelia of lymphatic capillaries, has been shown to mediate the entry of immune cells through lymphatic endothelial junctions by engaging with their surface HA glycocalyx, itself anchored to the immune cell membrane by the closely related receptor CD44. Although similar to CD44 in primary sequence, LYVE-1 is functionally distinct, with a mutually exclusive pattern of tissue expression and a marked dependence on avidity for engagement with the long chains of HA-achieved primarily through receptor clustering. Here, we review key data that have defined the in vitro and in vivo functions of LYVE-1, including recent high-resolution crystal structures that have revealed its unusual and reversible "sliding" mode of interaction with HA, as distinct from the conventional "sticking" interaction in CD44. Lastly, we consider the emerging functions of LYVE-1 in sites beyond the lymphatics, namely tissue-resident macrophages and the specialised blood vessels of certain organs, and its potential as a therapeutic target. - Source: PubMed

Jackson David G - There are a few molecules that are regularly used as markers for lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) such as the adhesion molecule CD31/PEACAM1, the transcription factor PROX1, the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-3 (VEGFR3/), the glycoprotein podoplanin, and the hyaluronan receptor LYVE1. However, none of the molecules are exclusively expressed in LECs, and there is molecular and functional heterogeneity of LECs in initial lymphatics, lymphatic collectors and lymph nodes. Therefore, a combination of markers must be applied to identify lymphatics. This is particularly true for the characterization of conditions such as lymphatic malformations or cancers, in which the molecular profile of vessels may be variable or abnormal. Here we present two molecules that can help distinguish between endothelial cells of blood and lymphatic vessels: the scaffold protein liprin β-1 (PPFIBP1) and the intermediate filament synemin. We collected own data on the RNA and protein expression of the two molecules in humans, and studied publicly available databases. PPFIBP1 appears to be a suitable marker of LECs in initial lymphatics, collectors and lymph nodes, while synemin appears to be more restricted to initial lymphatics. We hope this will stimulate monoclonal antibody development and help expand the range of LEC markers in health and disease. - Source: PubMed

Becker JürgenWilting Jörg - CCN1, also called Cyr61, is a secreted protein involved in diverse biological processes including senescence. While elevated in brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) models and patients, CCN1/Cyr61 levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) remain unclear. Using a high-sensitive quantification method, we analyzed CSF samples from 79 subjects (age: 77.7 ± 5.4 years [63-94], MMSE: 20.1 ± 5.9 [0-30]) who underwent CSF tap test. CCN1/Cyr61 showed strong associations with Aβ40 (r = 0.67), Aβ42 (r = 0.48), Aβ42/40 ratio (r = -0.53), and phospho-tau levels (r = 0.53) (all; < 0.0001). CCN1/Cyr61 also moderately associated with glial markers, YKL-40, sTREM2, CD163, and a lymphatic endothelial marker, LYVE-1 (r ≈ 0.4). While these cellular markers also associated with Aβ and phospho-tau, effects were much weaker. Collectively, CCN1/Cyr61 is associated with Aβ species and p-tau in CSF. These associations are considerably stronger than those observed with typical glial or other cellular markers, providing a clue to understanding the link between senescence and AD pathology at the levels of fluid biomarkers. - Source: PubMed
