RESUMO

Treatment of stroke with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) significantly enhances brain remodeling and improves neurological function in non-diabetic stroke rats. Diabetes is a major risk factor for stroke and induces neurovascular changes which may impact stroke therapy. Thus, it is necessary to test our hypothesis that the treatment of stroke with BMSC has therapeutic efficacy in the most common form of diabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM was induced in adult male Wistar rats by administration of a high fat diet in combination with a single intraperitoneal injection (35mg/kg) of streptozotocin. These rats were then subjected to 2h of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo). T2DM rats received BMSC (5x106, n = 8) or an equal volume of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (n = 8) via tail-vein injection at 3 days after MCAo. MRI was performed one day and then weekly for 5 weeks post MCAo for all rats. Compared with vehicle treated control T2DM rats, BMSC treatment of stroke in T2DM rats significantly (p<0.05) decreased blood-brain barrier disruption starting at 1 week post stroke measured using contrast enhanced T1-weighted imaging with gadopentetate, and reduced cerebral hemorrhagic spots starting at 3 weeks post stroke measured using susceptibility weighted imaging, although BMSC treatment did not reduce the ischemic lesion volumes as demarcated by T2 maps. These MRI measurements were consistent with histological data. Thus, BMSC treatment of stroke in T2DM rats initiated at 3 days after stroke significantly reduced ischemic vascular damage, although BMSC treatment did not change infarction volume in T2DM rats, measured by MRI.

RESUMO

Interaction between angiogenesis and axonal remodeling after stroke was dynamically investigated by MRI in rats with or without sildenafil treatments. Male Wistar rats were subjected to embolic stroke and treated daily with saline (n=10) or with sildenafil (n=11) initiated at 24 h and subsequently for 7 days after onset of ischemia. T(2)(*)-weighted imaging, cerebral blood flow (CBF), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measurements were performed from 24 h to 6 weeks after embolization. T(2)(*) and fractional anisotropy (FA) maps detected angiogenesis and axonal remodeling after stroke, respectively, starting from 1 week in sildenafil-treated rats. Areas demarcated by MRI with enhanced angiogenesis, elevated local CBF, and augmented axonal remodeling were spatially and temporally matched, and FA values were significantly correlated with the corresponding CBF values (R=0.66, P<4 x 10(-5)) at 6 weeks after stroke. Axonal projections were reorganized along the ischemic boundary after stroke. These MRI measurements, confirmed by histology, showed that sildenafil treatment simultaneously enhanced angiogenesis and axonal remodeling, which were MRI detectable starting from 1 week after stroke in rats. The spatial and temporal consistency of MRI metrics and the correlation between FA and local CBF suggest that angiogenesis, by elevating local CBF, promotes axonal remodeling after stroke.
