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

Stroke-associated inflammation: is von Willebrand factor a 'bad guy'?

TL;DR: A novel mechanism of neutrophil recruitment to the ischemic brain through von Willebrand factor (VWF) expressed on the endothelial cells is demonstrated and suggests that inhibition of WPB release could suppress cerebral inflammation and consequently be protective against isChemic injury.

Reduced perforin release from T cells as a mechanism underlying hypothermia‐mediated neuroprotection

TL;DR: The effects of hypothermia and hyperthermia on peripheral T cell‐derived perforin (Pfn), and the underlying mechanism of Pfn‐mediated neurotoxicity and death of brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVECs) are elucidated.

Optimization of cell-based therapy using an injectable hydrogel after stroke : MRI and histological study

TL;DR: Therapeutic approaches that can be applied beyond acute phase are urgently needed and the application of new brain imaging techniques can be relevant for the comprehension of acute stroke mechanism and for a more accurate identification of candidates for acute phase reperfusion therapies.

Multiplexed mRNA analysis of brain-derived extracellular vesicles upon experimental stroke in mice reveals increased mRNA content with potential relevance to inflammation and recovery processes

TL;DR: In this article , the mRNA content of brain-derived extracellular vesicles (BDEVs) isolated 72 hours after experimental stroke in mice and compared them to controls (shams) using nCounter ® Nanostring panels, with or without prior RNA isolation.

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.
