Abstract
Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors(aGPCRs) play a significant role in cognitive impairment related diseases. As an important member of aGPCRs, brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1(BAI1) has a prominent impact on anti-angiogenesis, anti-tumor and participating in immune phagocytosis. Recent research found out that BAI1 exerts a great influence on synaptogenesis and synaptic plasticity, but few studying concerning BAI1 in nervous system. Nowadays, the aging of population aggravates the occurrence of cognitive impairment. The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and vascular cognitive impairment remains elusive, and identification of cognitive impairment at an early stage faces challenges. In the stage of mild cognitive impairment, synaptic damage is evident. BAI1 can regulate the function of postsynaptic membrane, synaptogenesis, synaptic signal transmission and the morphological development of dendritic spines. Therefore, it may potentially act as an early-warning index and intervention target for cognitive impairment. Key words: Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1; Cognitive impairment; Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors; Synaptogenesis; Mild cognitive impairment
