Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study initially confirmed that trans-arterial regional hypothermia possessed strong neuroprotective effects on ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, and then demonstrated that the treatment sequentially inhibited the acute aquapolin4 (AQP4) surge, microvascular narrowing due to astrocytic end-foot swelling, endothelial dysfunction, and activation of inflammatory reactions. More direct and intensive cooling of the endothelium and its surroundings, including astrocytic end-feet, may contribute to these therapeutic effects. This therapeutic strategy is convenient and feasible for clinical applications by an endovascular approach; therefore, it represents a promising candidate to attenuate I/R injury after tissue plasminogen activator thrombolysis and/or endovascular thrombectomy.
