LDL receptor-null mice on a Western diet (WD) have inflammation in large arteries and endothelial dysfunction in small arteries, which are improved with the apolipoprotein A-I mimetic D-4F. The role of hyperlipidemia in causing inflammation of very small vessels such as brain arterioles has not previously been studied. A WD caused a marked increase in the percent of brain arterioles with associated macrophages (microglia) (P < 0.01), which was reduced by oral D-4F but not by scrambled D-4F (ScD-4F; P < 0.01). D-4F (but not ScD-4F) reduced the percent of brain arterioles associated with CCL3/macrophage inflammatory protein-1{alpha} (P < 0.01) and CCL2/monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (P < 0.001). A WD increased (P < 0.001) brain arteriole wall thickness and smooth muscle {alpha}-actin, which was reduced by D-4F but not by ScD-4F (P < 0.0001). There was no difference in plasma lipid levels, blood pressure, or arteriole lumen diameter with D-4F treatment. Cognitive performance in the T-maze continuous alternation task and in the Morris Water Maze was impaired by a WD and was significantly improved with D-4F but not ScD-4F (P < 0.05). We conclude that a WD induces brain arteriole inflammation and cognitive impairment that is ameliorated by oral D-4F without altering plasma lipids, blood pressure, or arteriole lumen size.
