Experimental cerebral ischemic stroke is exacerbated by inflammatory T-cells and is accompanied by systemic increases in CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T-cells (Treg). To determine their effect on ischemic brain injury, Treg were depleted in Foxp3(DTR) mice prior to stroke induction. In contrast to a recent Nature Medicine report, our results demonstrate unequivocally that Treg depletion did not affect stroke infarct volume, thus failing to implicate this regulatory pathway in limiting stroke damage.
实验性脑缺血性中风可被炎症性 T 细胞加重,并且伴随着系统性的 CD4+CD25+Foxp3+调节性 T 细胞(Treg)增加。为了确定它们对缺血性脑损伤的影响,在诱导中风之前,在 Foxp3(DTR)小鼠中耗尽 Treg。与最近的《自然医学》报告相反,我们的结果明确表明,Treg 耗竭并不影响中风梗死体积,因此不能将这条调节途径与限制中风损伤联系起来。
