Öğe CCL11 differentially affects post-stroke brain injury and neuroregeneration in mice depending on age(MDPI, 2020) Lieschke, Simone; Zechmeister, Bozena; Haupt, Matteo; Zheng, Xuan; Jin, Fengyan; Hein, Katharina; Weber, Martin S.; Hermann, Dirk M.; Bähr, Mathias; Kılıç, Ertuğrul; Doeppner, Thorsten R.CCL11 has recently been shown to differentially affect cell survival under various pathological conditions including stroke. Indeed, CCL11 promotes neuroregeneration in neonatal stroke mice. The impact of CCL11 on the adult ischemic brain, however, remains elusive. We therefore studied the effect of ectopic CCL11 on both adolescent (six-week) and adult (six-month) C57BL6 mice exposed to stroke. Intraperitoneal application of CCL11 significantly aggravated acute brain injury in adult mice but not in adolescent mice. Likewise, post-stroke neurological recovery after four weeks was significantly impaired in adult mice whilst CCL11 was present. On the contrary, CCL11 stimulated gliogenesis and neurogenesis in adolescent mice. Flow cytometry analysis of blood and brain samples revealed a modification of inflammation by CCL11 at subacute stages of the disease. In adolescent mice, CCL11 enhances microglial cell, B and T lymphocyte migration towards the brain, whereas only the number of B lymphocytes is increased in the adult brain. Finally, the CCL11 inhibitor SB297006 significantly reversed the aforementioned effects. Our study, for the first time, demonstrates CCL11 to be a key player in mediating secondary cell injury under stroke conditions. Interfering with this pathway, as shown for SB297006, might thus be an interesting approach for future stroke treatment paradigms.Öğe Lithium modulates miR-1906 levels of mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles contributing to poststroke neuroprotection by toll-like receptor 4 regulation(Wiley, 2021) Haupt, Matteo; Zheng, Xuan; Kuang, Yaoyun; Lieschke, Simone; Janssen, Lisa; Bosche, Bert; Jin, Fengyan; Hein, Katharina; Kılıç, Ertuğrul; Venkataramani, Vivek; Hermann, Dirk M.; Bahr, Mathias; Doeppner, Thorsten R.Lithium is neuroprotective in preclinical stroke models. In addition to that, poststroke neuroregeneration is stimulated upon transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Preconditioning of MSCs with lithium further enhances the neuroregenerative potential of MSCs, which act by secreting extracellular vesicles (EVs). The present work analyzed, whether MSC preconditioning with lithium modifies EV secretion patterns, enhancing the therapeutic potential of such derived EVs (Li-EVs) in comparison with EVs enriched from native MSCs. Indeed, Li-EVs significantly enhanced the resistance of cultured astrocytes, microglia, and neurons against hypoxic injury when compared with controls and to native EV-treated cells. Using a stroke mouse model, intravenous delivery of Li-EVs increased neurological recovery and neuroregeneration for as long as 3 months in comparison with controls and EV-treated mice, albeit the latter also showed significantly better behavioral test performance compared with controls. Preconditioning of MSCs with lithium also changed the secretion patterns for such EVs, modifying the contents of various miRNAs within these vesicles. As such, Li-EVs displayed significantly increased levels of miR-1906, which has been shown to be a new regulator of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. Li-EVs reduced posthypoxic and postischemic TLR4 abundance, resulting in an inhibition of the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappa B) signaling pathway, decreased proteasomal activity, and declined both inducible NO synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 expression, all of which culminating in reduced levels of poststroke cerebral inflammation. Conclusively, the present study for the first time demonstrates an enhanced therapeutic potential of Li-EVs compared with native EVs, interfering with a novel signaling pathway that yields both acute neuroprotection an enhanced neurological recovery.Öğe Neural progenitor cell-derived extracellular vesicles enhance blood-brain barrier integrity by NF-kappa B (Nuclear Factor-kappa B)-dependent regulation of ABCB1 (ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter B1) in stroke mice(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2021) Zhang, Lin; Graf, Irina; Kuang, Yaoyun; Zheng, Xuan; Haupt, Matteo; Majid, Arshad; Kılıç, Ertuğrul; Hermann, Dirk M.; Psychogios, Marios-Nikos; Weber, Martin S.; Ochs, Jasmin; Baehr, Mathias; Doeppner, Thorsten R.Objective: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from neural progenitor cells enhance poststroke neurological recovery, albeit the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Since previous research described an enhanced poststroke integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) upon systemic transplantation of neural progenitor cells, we examined if neural progenitor cell-derived EVs affect BBB integrity and which cellular mechanisms are involved in the process. Approach and Results: Using in vitro models of primary brain endothelial cell (EC) cultures as well as co-cultures of brain ECs (ECs) and astrocytes exposed to oxygen glucose deprivation, we examined the effects of EVs or vehicle on microvascular integrity. In vitro data were confirmed using a mouse transient middle cerebral artery occlusion model. Cultured ECs displayed increased ABCB1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter B1) levels when exposed to oxygen glucose deprivation, which was reversed by treatment with EVs. The latter was due to an EV-induced inhibition of the NF-kappa B (nuclear factor-kappa B) pathway. Using a BBB co-culture model of ECs and astrocytes exposed to oxygen glucose deprivation, EVs stabilized the BBB and ABCB1 levels without affecting the transcellular electrical resistance of ECs. Likewise, EVs yielded reduced Evans blue extravasation, decreased ABCB1 expression as well as an inhibition of the NF-kappa B pathway, and downstream matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) activity in stroke mice. The EV-induced inhibition of the NF-kappa B pathway resulted in a poststroke modulation of immune responses. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that EVs enhance poststroke BBB integrity via ABCB1 and MMP-9 regulation, attenuating inflammatory cell recruitment by inhibition of the NF-kappa B pathway.Öğe Neuroprotective strategies for ischemic stroke—Future perspectives(MDPI, 2023) Haupt, Matteo; Gerner, Stefan T.; Bähr, Mathias; Doeppner, Thorsten R.Ischemic stroke is the main cause of death and the most common cause of acquired physical disability worldwide. Recent demographic changes increase the relevance of stroke and its sequelae. The acute treatment for stroke is restricted to causative recanalization and restoration of cerebral blood flow, including both intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy. Still, only a limited number of patients are eligible for these time-sensitive treatments. Hence, new neuroprotective approaches are urgently needed. Neuroprotection is thus defined as an intervention resulting in the preservation, recovery, and/or regeneration of the nervous system by interfering with the ischemic-triggered stroke cascade. Despite numerous preclinical studies generating promising data for several neuroprotective agents, successful bench-to-bedside translations are still lacking. The present study provides an overview of current approaches in the research field of neuroprotective stroke treatment. Aside from “traditional” neuroprotective drugs focusing on inflammation, cell death, and excitotoxicity, stem-cell-based treatment methods are also considered. Furthermore, an overview of a prospective neuroprotective method using extracellular vesicles that are secreted from various stem cell sources, including neural stem cells and bone marrow stem cells, is also given. The review concludes with a short discussion on the microbiota–gut–brain axis that may serve as a potential target for future neuroprotective therapies.Öğe Preconditioning concepts for the therapeutic use of extracellular vesicles against stroke(Oxford University Press, 2023) Haupt, Matteo; Gerner, Stefan T.; Huttner, Hagen B.; Doeppner, Thorsten RolandVarious preclinical stroke models have demonstrated the neuroprotective effects of extracellular vesicles (EVs) obtained from several types of cells, including neurons, astrocytes, microglia, neuronal progenitor cells, bone marrow stem cells, and mesenchymal stem cells. EVs interfere with key mechanisms in stroke pathophysiology such as cell death, neuroinflammation, autophagy, and angiogenesis. The mode of action and efficacy depend on the specific EV content, including miRNAs, proteins, and lipids, which can be modified through (I) bioengineering methods, (II) choice of source cells, and (III) modification of the source cell environment. Indeed, modifying the environment by preconditioning the EV-secreting cells with oxygen-glucose deprivation or medium modification revealed superior neuroprotective effects in stroke models. Although the concept of preconditioned EVs is relatively novel, it holds promise for the future treatment of ischemic stroke. Here, we give a brief overview about the main mechanisms of EV-induced neuroprotection and discuss the current status of preconditioning concepts for EV-treatment of ischemic stroke.Öğe Quest for quality in translational stroke research––a new dawn for neuroprotection?(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2022) Haupt, Matteo; Gerner, Stefan T.; Bähr, Mathias; Doeppner, Thorsten R.Despite tremendous progress in modern?day stroke therapy, ischemic stroke remains a disease associated with a high socioeconomic burden in industrialized countries. In light of demo-graphic change, these health care costs are expected to increase even further. The current causal therapeutic treatment paradigms focus on successful thrombolysis or thrombectomy, but only a fraction of patients qualify for these recanalization therapies because of therapeutic time window restrictions or contraindications. Hence, adjuvant therapeutic concepts such as neuroprotection are urgently needed. A bench?to?bedside transfer of neuroprotective approaches under stroke condi-tions, however, has not been established after more than twenty years of research, albeit a great many data have demonstrated several neuroprotective drugs to be effective in preclinical stroke settings. Prominent examples of substances supported by extensive preclinical evidence but which failed clinical trials are tirilazad and disodium 2,4?sulphophenyl?N?tert?butylnitrone (NXY?059). The NXY?059 trial, for instance, was retrospectively shown to have a seriously weak study design, a trial of insufficient quality and a poor statistical analysis, although it initially met the recommendations of the STAIR committee. In light of currently ongoing novel neuroprotective stroke trials, such as ESCAPE?NA, and to avoid the mistakes made in the past, an improvement in study quality in the field of stroke neuroprotection is urgently needed. In the present review, animal models closely reflecting the “typical” stroke patient, occlusion techniques and the appropriate choice of time windows are discussed. In this context, the STAIR recommendations could provide a useful orientation. Taking all of this into account, a new dawn for neuroprotection might be possible.
