Project description:It has been unclear whether ischemic stroke induces neurogenesis or neuronal DNA-rearrangements in the human neocortex. We show here that neither is the case, using immunohistochemistry, transcriptome-, genome- and ploidy-analyses, and determination of nuclear bomb test-derived 14C-concentration in neuronal DNA. A large proportion of cortical neurons display DNA-fragmentation and DNA-repair short time after stroke, whereas neurons at chronic stages after stroke show DNA-integrity, demonstrating the relevance of an intact genome for survival.

Project description:Treatments that stimulate neuronal excitability enhance motor performance after stroke.cAMP-response-element binding protein (CREB) is a transcription factor that plays a key rolein neuronal excitability. Increasing the levels of CREB with a viral vector in a small pool ofmotor neurons enhances motor recovery after stroke, while blocking CREB signaling preventsstroke recovery. Silencing CREB-transfected neurons in the peri-infarct region with thehM4di-DREADD blocks motor recovery. Reversing this inhibition allows recovery to continue,demonstrating that it is possible to turn off and on stroke recovery by manipulating theactivity of CREB-transfected neurons. CREB transfection enhances re-mapping of injuredsomatosensory and motor circuits, and induces the formation of new connections withinthese circuits. CREB is a central molecular node in the circuit responses after stroke that leadto recovery from motor deficits.

Project description:Ischemic stroke causes extensive neuronal cell death. Antithrombotic agents and rehabilitation are the primary treatment options but have limited efficacy. Therefore, to achieve radical neurological improvement, practical neuroregenerative technologies must be developed. Recently, direct chemical reprogramming using small molecules to transdifferentiate somatic cells into neurons has garnered much attention. We investigated the possibility of applying this technology for the treatment of ischemic stroke. During the acute phase of ischemic stroke, circulating monocytes increase chemotaxis and accumulate in the infarct area through the disrupted blood-brain barrier, where they differentiate into macrophages involved in inflammation and remodeling. Direct reprogramming of these monocyte-derived macrophages into neuronal cells in vivo is theoretically possible with the administration of small-molecule drugs. However, the efficacy of this neuroregenerative therapy cannot be verified because the optimal chemical compounds that convert macrophages into neurons have not yet been identified.

Project description:Neuronal excitotoxicity induced by aberrant excitation of glutamatergic receptors contributes to brain damage in stroke. Here, we show that tau-deficient (tau-/-) mice are profoundly protected from excitotoxic brain damage and neurological deficits following experimental stroke, using a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) with reperfusion model. Mechanistically, we show that this protection is due to site-specific inhibition of glutamate-induced and Ras/ERK-mediated toxicity by accumulation of Ras-inhibiting SynGAP1, which resides in a post-synaptic complex with tau. Accordingly, reducing SynGAP1 levels in tau-/- mice abolished the protection from pharmacologically induced excitotoxicity and MCAO-induced brain damage. Conversely, over-expression of SynGAP1 prevented excitotoxic ERK activation in wild-type neurons. Our findings suggest that tau mediates excitotoxic Ras/ERK signaling by controlling post-synaptic compartmentalization of SynGAP1.

Project description:Purpose: Signaling pathways mediated by microRNAs (miRNAs) represent one of the mechanisms that regulate stroke progression and recovery. The goal of this study is to investigate miRNA expression signatures in freshly removed human stroke brain tissue. Methods: Human brain samples (5 stroke and 3 non-stroke samples) obtained at 48-72 hours after stroke onset during craniectomy and stroke-ectomy, were subjected to histopathological and immunofluorescence microscopy analyses. NGS sequencing was performed by Qiagen company and analyses were carried out using QIAseq miRNA Quantification workflow and RNA-seq Analysis tools within CLC Genomics Workbench (version 20.0.2). Reads were normalized for expression analysis using trimmed mean of M-values method (TMM). miRNA profiling was performed using the EdgeR in Bioconductor package. Whole transcriptome RNA-sequencing Analysis: The unmapped reads from the NGS miRNA analysis were extracted, deduplicated and mapped to the genome. Gene expressions were calculated by counting number of reads mapping to the annotated gene loci. Human miR-155 Targets RT2 Profiler PCR Array (Qiagen) was performed using 3 RNA samples per stroke and control groups. The PCR Array Data analysis was performed using an automated PCR Analysis Web Portal and GeneGlobe Data Analysis (Qiagen). Results: Human stroke brain tissue was characterized by classic ischemic changes, including significant neuronal and vascular damage, and prominent edema. The absence of monocytes and notable neutrophil infiltration indicated the early stage of leukocyte response to ischemia. miRNA NGS analysis detected 36 miRNAs with significantly aberrant expression in stroke tissue, as compared to non-stroke samples. Of these miRNAs, 19 were previously identified in stroke patient blood and CSF, while dysregulation of 16 miRNAs was newly detected in this study. Bioinformatics pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated a strong association of the identified miRNAs with stroke-related biological processes and signaling pathways Conclusions: Dysregulated miRNAs detected in our study could be regarded as potential candidates for biomarkers and/or targets for therapeutic intervention. The obtained data will serve for better understanding of the molecular basis of stroke and provide valuable information for the future functional studies in the experimental models of stroke.

Project description:TMT-coupled proteomic analysis was conducted on mouse brain cortex tissue from five time-points up to four weeks post-stroke in the DH-MCAO mouse model. Nearly-half of the detected proteome was altered following stroke, with <10% of changes at relatively large scales. Clustering on the changed proteome defined four distinct expression patterns characterized by temporal and quantitative changes in innate and adaptive immune response pathways, and cytoskeletal and neuronal remodeling. Further analysis on a subset of top-hits, which temporally responded to stroke with relatively large and sustained changes, revealed that they were highly correlated to different cortical cytokines, and thereby potential pharmacodynamic biomarker candidates for inflammation-targeting therapies. Closer examination of the top enriched neurophysiologic pathways identified 57 proteins potentially associated with post-stroke recovery. Altogether, our study generated a rich dataset with candidate proteins worthy of further validation as biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets for stroke.

Project description:The current treatment options for ischemic stroke aim to achieve reperfusion but are time critical. Novel therapeutic approaches that can be given beyond the limited time window of 3 - 4.5 hours are still an unmet need to be addressed to improve stroke outcome. The lack of oxygen and glucose in the area of ischemic injury initiates a pathological cascade leading to blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, inflammation and neuronal cell death, a process that may be intercepted to limit stroke progression. Pericytes located at the blood/brain interface are one of the first responders to hypoxia in stroke and therefore a potential target cell for early stroke interventions. Using single-cell RNA sequencing in a mouse model of permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion, we investigated the temporal differences in transcriptomic signatures in pericytes at 1, 12, and 24 hours after stroke compared to the contralateral hemisphere. Our results reveal a stroke-specific subcluster of pericytes that is present at 12 and 24 hours and characterized by the upregulation of genes mainly related to cytokine signalling and immune response. This study identifies temporal transcriptional changes in the acute phase of ischemic stroke that reflect the early response of pericytes to the ischemic insult and its secondary consequences and may constitute potential future therapeutic targets.
