Bone marrow-derived progenitor cells in the early phase of ischemic stroke: relation with stroke severity and discharge outcome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A limited number of studies suggested that in ischemic stroke patients, the number of bone marrow circulating progenitor cells (CPCs), either endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) or CPCs, was negatively correlated with the number of infarcts as well as with the outcome. The aim of this study was to simultaneously measure CPCs and EPCs in the acute phase of ischemic stroke, and to establish whether a relationship exists with stroke severity and discharge outcome. In 67 (40 M; 27 F) ischemic stroke patients with a median age of 73 (21 to 91) years, the number of CPCs and EPCs was measured by flow cytometry and analyzed in relation to baseline NIH Stroke Scale score, ischemic stroke syndromes, and discharge outcome. Patients with partial anterior circulation syndrome showed a higher CPCs' number with respect to patients with total anterior circulation syndrome. Moreover, a negative relationship between National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at the admission and CPCs number was observed. When the outcome was considered, patients discharged to home had a higher number of CPCs, but not of EPCs, compared with those moved to a rehabilitation unit. We report an association between the number of CPCs measured in the early phase after stroke presentation, neurologic severity, and discharge outcome.

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell and simvastatin treatment leads to improved functional recovery and modified c-Fos expression levels in the brain following ischemic stroke
Objective(s): The beneficial outcomes of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) treatment on functional recovery following stroke has been well established. Furthermore, 5-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors have also been shown to increase neuronal survival and promote the movement of BMSCs towards the sites of inflammation. However, the precise mechani...

Introduction: Based on our previous findings, the treatment of stem cells alone or in combination with thyroid hormone (T3) and mild exercise could effectively reduce the risk of stroke damage in young mice. However, it is unclear whether this treatment is effective in aged or middle-aged mice. Therefore, this study designed to assess whether combination of Bone Marrow Stromal Cells (BMSCs) wit...
متن کاملO10: Thrombo-Inflammation in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Ischemic stroke has been classified as a merely thrombotic disease, so the main goal of its treatment is the recanalization of the occluded vasculature. However, despite fast restoration of blood circulation, progressive stroke still develops in many patients, which has led to the concept of reperfusion injury. The underlying mechanism is only partly known. Though, it is accepted now, tha...
