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

The immunology of stroke: from mechanisms to translation

TL;DR: Gaining a better understanding of the reciprocal interaction between the immune system and the ischemic brain is essential to harness the full therapeutic potential of the immunology of stroke.

Inflammatory mechanisms in ischemic stroke: role of inflammatory cells.

TL;DR: An overview of the time‐dependent recruitment of different inflammatory cells following focal cerebral I/R is provided and certain recent findings and currently unanswered questions about inflammatory cells in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke are highlighted.

Neuroprotection in acute stroke: targeting excitotoxicity, oxidative and nitrosative stress, and inflammation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used pre-clinical testing and appropriate selection of study participants to overcome the barriers to progress in acute ischemic stroke research, and proposed safe and effective treatment strategies that combine neuroprotection reperfusion, better use of advanced brain imaging for patient selection, and wider implementation of pre-hospital conducted clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroinflammation: friend and foe for ischemic stroke

TL;DR: How neuroinflammation has both beneficial as well as detrimental roles and recent therapeutic strategies to combat pathological responses are discussed and the time-dependent role of inflammatory factors could help in developing new diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic neuroprotective strategies for post-stroke inflammation.

Human focal cerebral infarctions induce differential lesional interleukin-16 (IL-16) expression confined to infiltrating granulocytes,

J. M. Schwab, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed expression of IL-16 in 20 patients following focal cerebral infarctions (FCI, n520) and compared to normal control brains (n53), IL16 was expressed by infiltrating immune cells such as neutrophils, CD8 lymphocytes and activated CD68 microglia / macrophages accumulating in lesion associated reactive zones and in 1 peri-vascular regions.

Neutrophil sequestration and the effect of hyperbaric oxygen in a rat model of temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion

TL;DR: Data demonstrate that one mechanism for benefit of HBO2 is related to its ability to ameliorate post-ischemic injury by inhibiting neutrophil sequestration, and should be taken into consideration when choosing partial pressures of oxygen for investigational clinical protocols.

Neutrophils do not contribute to infarction, oxidative stress, and NO synthase activity in severe brain ischemia.

TL;DR: The results suggest that PMNs are not involved in severe cerebral ischemia and that anti-PMN strategies may be inefficient in some pathological conditions.

A novel method of detecting rCBF with laser-Doppler flowmetry without cranial window through the skull for a MCAO rat model

TL;DR: The approach of LDF monitoring through the lateral aspect of skull was useful for making large consistent infarct with reducing intraanimal variability and unexpected animal death for rat MCAO model.

Invariant NKT Cells Exacerbate Type 1 Diabetes Induced by CD8 T Cells

TL;DR: This first analysis of the influence of iNKT cells on diabetogenic CD8 T cells reveals that iN KT cells not only fail to regulate but in fact exacerbate the development of diabetes.
