Glial Scar Formation Occurs in the Human Brain after Ischemic Stroke

Abstract: Reactive gliosis and glial scar formation have been evidenced in the animal model of ischemic stroke, but not in human ischemic brain. Here, we have found that GFAP, ED1 and chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans (CSPG) expression were significantly increased in the cortical peri-infarct regions after ischemic stroke, compared with adjacent normal tissues and control subjects. Double immunolabeling showed that GFAP-positive reactive astrocytes in the peri-infarct region expressed CSPG, but showed no overlap with E… Show more

“…Our data suggest that SB505124 be considered as a potential therapeutic either alone, or after pre-clinical evaluation, as an adjunct to hypothermia to improve neurologic outcome. Since delayed inflammation and glial scar formation are also critical events in other forms of developmental brain injuries as well as for injuries sustained by adults such as stroke, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury, 58,59 SB505124 should be evaluated in animal models of these pathologies as well.…”

“…It has been earlier shown that the concentration of MT is generally down-regulated [11 -13] and that of GFAP is up-regulated [2,31,32] under various harmful conditions, while under those same conditions, changes in vimentin and GFAP levels are simultaneous [2]. All of these are changes that occur under the processes of the major pathological role played by astrocytes in the brain and spinal cord [2].…”

“…The major contributor to injuries following reperfusion is the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated both from inflammatory cells and damaged mitochondria (Manzanero et al 2013). Pathologically, similar to the microscopic changes observed in animal models of stroke, evidence of reactive gliosis has been reported in human subjects after ischemic stroke including increased numbers of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive reactive astrocytes and ED1-positive activated microglia as well as enhanced expression of chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans (CSPG) in the cortical penumbra regions (Huang et al 2014). Hence, stroke involves a series of pathological changes that require a number of corresponding measures for the subsequent repairing.…”
