Studies using large animal models are essential for better understanding the molecular processes underlying neurological diseases, including ischemic stroke, and serve as a robust foundation for evaluating potential therapies. To better understand the complex role of damage-associated molecular pattern molecules (DAMPs) after ischemia, we aimed to determine their expression in the porcine brain affected by ischemic stroke at four time points: 6 h, 24 h, 3 days and 7 days post-stroke. Within the first 24 h after the stroke, we observed the increased expression of several key factors, including calcium-binding proteins, peroxiredoxins, heat shock proteins and interleukins ( and , , ). Moreover, by day 7, multiple DAMPs were up-regulated, coinciding with an enhanced expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A () in the affected hemisphere. The effects of ischemic stroke were also evident systemically, as indicated by the altered serum levels of both pro- and anti-inflammatory interleukins, reflecting dynamic inflammatory response. To conclude, our findings provide new insights about the time-dependent DAMP activity in a large animal model of ischemic stroke, highlighting the simultaneous occurrence of an ongoing inflammatory response and the possible initiation of vascular remodeling as early as one week after stroke onset.
使用大型动物模型进行的研究对于更好地理解包括缺血性中风在内的神经疾病背后的分子过程至关重要,并为评估潜在治疗方法提供了坚实的基础。为了更好地理解缺血后损伤相关分子模式分子(DAMPs)的复杂作用,我们旨在确定其在缺血性中风后的四个时间点(中风后6小时、24小时、3天和7天)在受影响的猪脑中的表达情况。在中风后的最初24小时内,我们观察到包括钙结合蛋白、过氧化物还原酶、热休克蛋白和白细胞介素( 、 、 )在内的几个关键因子的表达增加。此外,到第7天时,多种DAMPs上调,同时受影响半球中血管内皮生长因子A( )的表达增强。缺血性中风的影响在全身也很明显,促炎和抗炎白细胞介素的血清水平改变表明了这一点,反映了动态的炎症反应。总之,我们的研究结果为缺血性中风大型动物模型中DAMPs的时间依赖性活性提供了新的见解,突出了中风发作后一周内持续炎症反应的同时发生以及血管重塑可能的启动。
