TLDR
The peculiar activation pattern and massive increase of antigen-presenting cells in temporal conjunction with regulatory cells might provide additional insight into poststroke immune regulation.
Abstract
Background and Purpose— Ischemic stroke leads to significant morbidity and mortality in the Western world Early reperfusion strategies remain the treatment of choice but can initiate and augment an inflammatory response causing secondary brain damage The understanding of postischemic inflammation is very limited The objectives of this study were to define the temporal and spatial infiltration of immune cell populations and their activation patterns in a murine cerebral ischemia–reperfusion injury model Methods— Transient middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced for 1 hour followed by 12-hour to 7-day reperfusion in C57/BL6 mice Immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry were used to quantify the infiltrating immune cell subsets Results— Accumulation of microglia and infiltration of the ischemic hemisphere by macrophages, lymphocytes, and dendritic cells (DCs) preceded the neutrophilic influx DCs were found to increase 20-fold and constituted a substantial proportion of infiltrating cells DCs exhi

Lokalisierung und Charakterisierung Foxp3+ regulatorischer T-Zellen bis zu 30 Tage nach mechanischer und ischämischer Läsion des Gehirns

Tobias Stubbe
TL;DR: This study sought to analyse the temporal distribution, location, induction and effect of Tregs on days 7, 14 and 30 following entorhinale cortex lesion (ECL) and cerebral infarction in mice after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).

Microglia in Neurodegenerative Events-An Initiator or a Significant Other?

TL;DR: A change in microglia structure, signaling, or function is commonly associated with neurodegeneration as mentioned in this paper, which is evident in the patient population, animal models, and targeted in vitro assays.

Pilot study in human healthy volunteers on the mechanisms underlying remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) – Targeting circulating immune cells and immune-related proteins

TL;DR: In this article , the authors characterized the innate and adaptive circulating immune cell populations following remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) and found that an immune response following RIC revealed 15 immune-related proteins.

Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α-Stimulated Gene 6 (TSG-6): A Promising Immunomodulatory Target in Acute Neurodegenerative Diseases

TL;DR: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-stimulated gene 6 (TSG-6) as discussed by the authors is the first soluble chemokine-binding protein to be identified in mammals, which inhibits chemotaxis and transendothelial migration of neutrophils and attenuates the inflammatory response of dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes, and T cells.

The inflammatory response in stroke.

TL;DR: The role of specific cell types including leukocytes, endothelium, glia, microglia, the extracellular matrix and neurons, and mediators produced by inflammatory cells such as cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxygen species and arachidonic acid metabolites are reviewed.

A synthetic glycolipid prevents autoimmune encephalomyelitis by inducing TH2 bias of natural killer T cells.

TL;DR: A synthetic glycolipid ligand for CD1d-restricted natural killer T (NKT) cells expressing the semi-invariant T-cell receptor (Vα14+) is preventive against EAE and targeting NKT cells with this ligand may be an attractive means for intervening in human autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
