Reperfusion Injury after Focal Cerebral Ischemia: The Role Inflammation and the The rapeutic Horizon

Abstract: Recent evidence indicates that thrombolysis may be an effective therapy for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. However, the reperfusion of ischemic brain comes with a price. In clinical trials, patients treated with thrombolytic therapy have shown a 6% rate of intracerebral hemorrhage, which was balanced against a 30% improvement in functional outcome over controls. Destruction of the microvasculature and extension of the infarct area occur after cerebral reperfusion. We have reviewed the existing data in… Show more

“…16,17,25 Circulating factors have been shown to have a significant effect on BBB properties that could enhance the detrimental effects of I/R. 19 In the present study, we found that nonischemic arteries perfused with plasma from hyperglycemic MCAO animals did not significantly increase BBB permeability.…”

“…In addition, an anti-CD11/CD18 antibody was employed within 12 hours after symptom onset [12, 83] in ischemia patients. However, both clinical trials failed, although they inhibited neutrophil aggregation and improved functional outcomes in animal studies [69, 84, 85]. The different expression profiles of integrin between human and animal stroke models may explain these failures.…”

“…Also, numerous studies have evaluated the effects of HBO on inflammatory reactions. Increases in activation and adhesion of leukocytes, especially neutrophils, have been well described after cerebral ischemia, and higher neutrophil counts have been associated with poor outcome [24,25,26]. Further, inhibition of neutrophil accumulation by blocking ICAM-1 [27,28,29]or using antineutrophil antibodies [28, 30 ]has been shown to decrease ischemic injury and limit postischemic apoptosis [31].…”
