January 5, 2022 Board of Trustees, The McKnight Brain Research Foundation It is with great pleasure that we submit our 2021 Annual Report for the McKnight Brain Institute at UAB. UAB McKnight continues to emerge from the 2020 COVID lockdown with resumption of research and programmatic activities, as well as with new intra-and inter-institutional collaborations. To the already extensive relationships across the UAB community, we added new faculty and projects involving the UAB Department of Biomedical Engineering, the UAB School of Nursing, the UAB Department of Family Practice and Community Medicine, and the UAB Callahan Eye Hospital. Despite retirements and transitions to new institutions, we now have 56 affiliated faculty across seven UAB schools. The importance of these alliances lies in the notion that innovation comes from multidisciplinary teams. As a part of the most diverse research institution in the United States, the UAB McKnight is dedicated to increasing the presence of underrepresented minorities (URM’s) as both research investigators and research participants. We remain firmly committed to aims and objectives related to age-related cognitive decline and memory loss, with ongoing animal models but increased programmatic emphasis on human application, both with respect to demonstrations of proofof-principle and clinical application. We have taken the position that the most effective means of mitigating cognitive and memory decline is through primary prevention. To this end, we chaired the AHA initiative to put brain health into primary care, served as the primary and senior author on the 2021 AHA Scientific Statement, and received IRB approval to implement a pilot project in two UAB Family Medicine Clinics in the Birmingham Metro area. At each site, a nurse practitioner will administer a Brain Care Score, establish a risk factor and lifestyle profile, implement a plan for gradual change, and then follow patients for one year. There are several ongoing projects involving exercise and cognitive-training interventions, the REGARDS study continues to provide valuable insights into risk for cognitive decline, and the cognitive impact of systemic illness is being evaluated in several disease models to determine ways to block the proposed effects of inflammation. Animal models are informing us regarding epigenetic mechanisms in the hippocampus and gut-brain interactions in the context of cognitive aging. The grants in the appendix document awards that directly address McKnight goals, or contribute methodologically, mechanistically or technologically toward applications that will address McKnight objectives in the future. We anticipate continuing within this overall framework over the coming year.

Institute FY21 at-a-Glance Our most important new initiative was the UAB McKnight-funded, Brain Health Advocacy Mission (BHAM). As we age, there is increasing compromise of neuronal activity that affects cognition, making the brain vulnerable to disease. Once pathology-induced decline begins, few therapeutic options are available. Prevention is therefore paramount, and primary care can play a critical role. The objective of this project is to begin a phased-in process of implementing brain health into targeted venues in the UAB Family and Community Medicine system. In 2017, the American Heart Association (AHA)/American Stroke Association issued a presidential advisory on defining brain health that included “Life’s Simple 7” (See Figure) as a follow-up to an earlier statement on the promotion of cardiovascular health. The goal was to provide a model for defining brain health in highly quantifiable terms and to suggest specific therapeutic targets for preventive intervention that included risk factor management and lifestyle changes. In March 2021, the AHA published a Scientific Statement, entitled “A Primary Care Agenda for Brain Health, chaired by Dr. Lazar (See Appendix 2, Publications). The 2021 Statement amplified the “Life’s Simple 7” strategy with the inclusion of alcohol consumption, social engagement, hearing, mood (depression) and education. Additionally, new data demonstrate that failure to control risk factors much earlier in the lifespan impacts later life cognitive decline and dementia. Thus, brain health as a goal is a life-long endeavor. To this end, we have assembled a brain health team with expertise in risk factor targets, mental health, community relations, physical activity, technology, and cognition. As a first step, we have received IRB approval to have advanced practice providers from the School of Nursing, under the supervision of Pamela Bowen, PhD, CRNP, FNP-BC, BBA, who serve as brain health advocates in two UAB Family Practice clinics in the Metro-Birmingham area, working with individual patients and family members. Our team has begun to fashion an implementation strategy encompassing culturally appropriate messaging, which is being facilitated by focus groups in the community. As an outcome measure, we are using the McCance Brain Care Score (See below, collaborative programs with non-McKnight Institutes). To bring this endeavor to scale we are developing the BHAM app, with the longer-term goal to extend this program throughout the state of Alabama, where risk for cognitive decline is among the highest in the United States. We are also seeking philanthropy and other sources of support to achieve sustainability under the administrative guidance of Jessica Lane, BHAM Program Director. Funded by a new pilot grant from the McKnight Brain Research Foundation (Lazar, Contact PI), there is a collaboration among UAB McKnight, the UAB Callahan Eye Hospital, UMiami McKnight and the UMiami Bascom-Palmer Eye Institute to study the effect of exercise on hypertension in older men and women. It is well known the HTN is a major risk factor for cognitive decline as result of increased white matter hyperintensities and a loss of microvascular density (rarefaction) in brain tissue. The premise is that exercise will increase growth factors (IGF-1), which will increase microvascular density, thereby reducing hypertension and improve 4


cognition. The innovative aspect of this project is the use of Optical Coherence Tomographic Angiography (OCT-A) as a non-invasive tool to measure retinal vascular density. The McKnight Brain Research Foundation has as its mission to better understand and alleviate age-related cognitive decline and memory loss. Since its founding in 1999, the MBRF has supported state-of-the-art research at its four affiliated institutions. The work it has underwritten has appeared in world-class, peer-reviewed journals and has influenced thinking about cognitive aging in the absence of brain disease. The matter arises, however, as to the generalizability of this research to the rapidly changing demographics in the US, especially Spanish-speaking groups. The purpose of a proposed collaboration between UAB (Lazar, Contact PI) and UMiami (B Levin, Site PI) McKnight Brain Institutes is to address this gap for multi-site studies by adapting and validating the use of telephone-administered, cognitive measures for Spanishspeaking individuals. As the population of the United States ages, so too does its workforce. With aging, however, comes possible changes in cognition that can impact an older adult's competence, including that of healthcare providers. A sensible method to establish whether cognitive decline is present in an aging medical professional would be to administer a neuropsychological (cognitive) test battery. Current normative data for neuropsychological measures, however, are adjusted for age and meant to represent the average cognitive ability of the general population. But, given that age-adjusted norms do not well predict real-world occupational functioning and that medical professionals possess cognitive ability well above that of the general population, the generalizability of current neuropsychological norms to this population are not valid. In a new grant funded by the University of Alabama Health Services Foundation Endowment Fund, Dr. Lazar (PI) is addressing this limitation by obtaining normative data for medical professionals at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). To accomplish this goal, Dr. Lazar and his team will administer a comprehensive neuropsychological battery to 216 medical professionals across four, broad medical subspecialties. Average performance of the sample will then be used to construct normative data. To date, there have been few prospective studies of incident silent brain infarction and cognitive trajectories. UAB (Lazar, MPI) and Stanford (Lansberg, MPI) are collaborating in an NINDSfunded project to determine in a nationwide study whether apixaban or aspirin is more effective in reducing the number of these silent events, and in turn, result in better cognition. In another new, pilot grant from the McKnight Brain Research Foundation Drs. Hernandez (Contact PI), Carter and Buford (UAB) and Bizon and Burke (UFlorida) were funded in a project, entitled, “Reuniting the Brain and Body to Understand Cognitive Aging: The Nexus of Geroscience and Neuroscience.” The purpose of this project is to study gut-brain interactions in the context of cognitive aging. Gut health influences cognitive outcomes, and alterations in brain health are often accompanied by impaired intestinal function. As gut health is likely a modifiable factor mediating cognitive resilience, several potential mechanisms of the bidirectional interactions across the gut-brain axis warrant further investigation. The ultimate goal of this study is to determine if novel therapeutic strategies targeting the gut can improve age-related cognitive decline in a validated rodent model of aging. 5


Dr. Kristina Visscher and her collaborator Lesley Ross at Clemson have completed a project funded by NIA, entitled, “Elucidating the Necessary Components and Mechanisms of Cognitive Training.” Loss of independence, difficulties in everyday function, cognitive decline, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Alzheimer’s Disease Related Dementias (ADRD) are areas of great concern for older adults and their families. From a public health perspective, successful efforts that enable older adults to age within their homes, as compared to nursing homes, will save an estimated $80 billion dollars per year. Cognitive training is a low cost, noninvasive intervention that has repeatedly demonstrated reliable transfer effects to maintained cognition, everyday function, and health. Their overall objective in this planning grant was to lay the conceptual and methodological foundation to identify cognitive, psychosocial, lifestyle behaviors, biomarker, and neural mechanisms of two forms of conceptually driven cognitive training. Additionally, they examined how cognitive and psychosocial factors within daily life account for the transfer of cognitive training to everyday function. They used a factorial design to randomize adults ages 45-90 to 10, 20, 30, or 40 hours of two forms of cognitive training, a combined training, or an active control condition, allowing them to test the feasibility of their enrollment, assessment, and training protocols for a future multisite clinical trial. The data from this trial are now being analyzed. Dr. George Howard is the founding PI of the REGARDS study, originally designed to examine risk factors for incident stroke in a population-based study enriched for African American Blacks and later generated important information relating to incident, age-related cognitive decline in the absence of frank neurological events, led by Dr. Virginia Wadley. Since its inception in 2003 with the support of NINDS, this study has been following 30,239 participants 45 years or older, living largely in the Stroke Belt across the Southeast US, and has generated more than 600 peer-reviewed papers, including more the 60 relating to cognition. Based on pilot data from grant from the UAB McKnight Institute, Dr. Farah Lubin received new NIA funding focusing on the molecular genetic mechanisms that govern how gene expression programs control memory formation in the healthy brain. She will be investigating the contribution of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Neat1 in astrocytes and identify the epigenetic mechanisms in these glia cells involved in enhancing memory resiliency with age. Within the aging hippocampus, it is now clear that abnormal epigenetic control of gene transcription contributes to memory deficits. Nearly all the suggested epigenetic mechanisms controlling memory formation have mostly been attributed to neuronal cells within the hippocampus, largely disregarding these mechanisms in astrocytes. Her long-term goal is to study the role of lncRNAs in astrocytes and to identify how these powerful epigenetic regulators impact memory formation with aging. Her pilot data demonstrated that Neat1 expression is decreased in area CA1 of young adult mice and overexpressed in aged mice. Furthermore, they demonstrated that inhibiting Neat1 expression in area CA1 of the hippocampus of aged mice reverses memory impairments. Based on these preliminary results, they plan to investigate the effects of manipulating Neat1 in astrocytes and determine effects on age-related memory decline. To gain further mechanistic insight into Neat1 mediated gene transcription in astrocytes in the aging hippocampus, they will use state-of-the-art approaches, such as CRISPR reprogramming and chemogenetics, to elucidate the epigenetic mechanisms in astrocytes in their aging animal model system. 6


In the UAB mission to promote diversity in the training of future investigators in science, Dr. Farah Lubin serves as Director, Dr. Michelle Gray as Co-Director and 15 other UAB McKnight faculty participate as mentors of the Roadmap Scholars Program devoted to the training of neuroscientists among underrepresented minorities (URM’s). Toward this end, Dr. Alecia Gross received a Supplement award from the National Eye Institute for the support of Hailey Levi, an URM in her second graduate year in Cellular, Molecular and Developmental Biology. Building on their preliminary discoveries and data, Ms. Levi utilizes knock-out mice, recombinant adeno-associated viral expression, spatial genomics, and confocal microscopy to uncover critical protein and genetic changes involved in these processes. She has 10.3K followers on Tiktok @chaoticallyscience, a platform in which she is dedicated to helping and providing resources for URM’s in STEM like herself. Because of this, she was recently tapped by Michael Langer at MacGillivray Freeman Films (the Academy Award winning Production company) to potentially be highlighted in an upcoming IMAX film highlighting the amazing science, scientists behind breakthroughs, and their influence in social media.

Summary of Major Achievements Drs. Lazar, G. Howard, and V. Howard, along with the other investigators in the CREST-2 trial for treatment of asymptomatic carotid artery disease, showed that there is significant memory decline in the first 1,000 participants in this older cohort before treatment begins (Lazar, et al, 2021; see citation below). The relevance to the McKnight enterprise is that their severe carotid disease was discovered in a routine examination in which there were no other clinical problems. Thus, the assertion of age-related cognitive decline assumes no other discernable etiology, but accumulating data demonstrate cognitive effects of systemic conditions during aging that may be potentially treatable or even preventable causes of decline. With pilot funding by UAB McKnight and the UAB Integrative Center for Aging Research, Drs. Roy Martin, Richard Kennedy and colleagues performed a retrospective study of 33,111 older adults >65 years of age admitted to UAB hospital from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019 to determine whether delirium during hospitalization predicted the occurrence of hospital-related disability (HAD), including cognitive decline. They found that delirium significantly increased the likelihood for the occurrence of HAD with a multivariate predictor model that included the number of comorbidities, demographics and length of stay. For cognitive decline and comorbidity, mediation analysis showed a significant portion of their effect attributable to delirium.

Collaborative Programs with McKnight Institutes and nonMcKnight Institutes Drs. Lazar (UAB) and Levin (UMiami) are co-Chairs of the MBRF Cognitive Aging and Memory Intervention Core Inter-Institutional Pilot Program that is requesting Letters of Intent and Proposals for pilot studies to support interventions to reduce age-related memory loss and cognitive decline. The specific goal of these projects will be to collect pilot data across two or more MBI sites to facilitate grant submission to extramural funding sources for multi-MBI site cognitive aging and memory intervention trials.
