Abstract

ApTOLL, a TLR4 modulator aptamer, has demonstrated cerebroprotective effects in a permanent ischemic stroke mouse model, as well as safety and efficacy in early phase clinical trials. We carried out reverse translation research according to STAIR recommendations to further characterize the effects and mechanisms of ApTOLL after transient ischemic stroke in rats and to better inform the design of pivotal clinical trials. Adult male rats subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion were treated either with ApTOLL or the vehicle intravenously at different doses and time-points. ApTOLL was compared with TAK-242 (a TLR4 inhibitor). Female rats were also studied. After neurofunctional evaluation, brains were removed for infarct/edema volume, hemorrhagic transformation, and histologic determinations. Peripheral leukocyte populations were assessed via flow cytometry. ApTOLL showed U-shaped dose-dependent cerebroprotective effects. The maximum effective dose (0.45 mg/kg) was cerebroprotective when given both before reperfusion and up to 12 h after reperfusion and reduced the hemorrhagic risk. Similar effects occurred in female rats. Both research and clinical ApTOLL batches induced slightly superior cerebroprotection when compared with TAK-242. Finally, ApTOLL modulated circulating leukocyte levels, reached the brain ischemic tissue to bind resident and infiltrated cell types, and reduced the neutrophil density. These results show the cerebroprotective effects of ApTOLL in ischemic stroke by reducing the infarct/edema volume, neurofunctional impairment, and hemorrhagic risk, as well as the peripheral and local immune response. They provide information about ApTOLL dose effects and its therapeutic time window and target population, as well as its mode of action, which should be considered in the design of pivotal clinical trials.

Abstract

Addition of uric acid (UA) to thrombolytic therapy, although safe, showed limited efficacy in improving patients' stroke outcome, despite alleged neuroprotective effects of UA in preclinical research. This systematic review assessed the effects of UA on brain structural and functional outcomes in animal models of ischemic stroke. We searched Medline, Embase and Web of Science to identify 16 and 14 eligible rodent studies for qualitative and quantitative synthesis, respectively. Range of evidence met 10 of a possible 13 STAIR criteria. Median (Q1, Q3) quality score was 7.5 (6, 10) on the CAMARADES 15-item checklist. For each outcome, we used standardised mean difference (SMD) as effect size and random-effects modelling. Meta-analysis showed that UA significantly reduced infarct size (SMD: −1.18; 95% CI [−1.47, −0.88]; p < 0.001), blood-brain barrier (BBB) impairment/oedema (SMD: −0.72; 95% CI [−0.97, −0.48]; p < 0.001) and neurofunctional deficit (SMD: −0.98; 95% CI [−1.32, −0.63]; p < 0.001). Overall, there was low to moderate between-study heterogeneity and sizeable publication bias. In conclusion, published rodent data suggest that UA improves outcome following ischemic stroke by reducing infarct size, improving BBB integrity and ameliorating neurofunctional condition. Specific recommendations are given for further high-quality preclinical research required to better inform clinical research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Despite transferrin being the main circulating carrier of iron in body fluids, and iron overload conditions being known to worsen stroke outcome through reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced damage, the contribution of blood transferrin saturation (TSAT) to stroke brain damage is unknown. The objective of this study was to obtain evidence on whether TSAT determines the impact of experimental ischemic stroke on brain damage and whether iron-free transferrin (apotransferrin, ATf)-induced reduction of TSAT is neuroprotective. We found that experimental ischemic stroke promoted an early extravasation of circulating iron-loaded transferrin (holotransferrin, HTf) to the ischemic brain parenchyma. In vitro, HTf was found to boost ROS production and to be harmful to primary neuronal cultures exposed to oxygen and glucose deprivation. In stroked rats, whereas increasing TSAT with exogenous HTf was detrimental, administration of exogenous ATf and the subsequent reduction of TSAT was neuroprotective. Mechanistically, ATf did not prevent extravasation of HTf to the brain parenchyma in rats exposed to ischemic stroke. However, ATf in vitro reduced NMDA-induced neuronal uptake of HTf and also both the NMDA-mediated lipid peroxidation derived 4-HNE and the resulting neuronal death without altering Ca2+-calcineurin signaling downstream the NMDA receptor. Removal of transferrin from the culture media or blockade of transferrin receptors reduced neuronal death. Together, our data establish that blood TSAT exerts a critical role in experimental stroke-induced brain damage. In addition, our findings suggest that the protective effect of ATf at the neuronal level resides in preventing NMDA-induced HTf uptake and ROS production, which in turn reduces neuronal damage.

Abstract

Novel peptides with antihypertensive effects in SHR rats have previously been identified in lactoferrin (LF) hydrolysates. To investigate their in vivo antihypertensive mechanism, we have assessed the blood pressure lowering effects of two of these LF-derived peptides (RPYL and DPYKLRP) in Wistar rats subjected to either angiotensin I- or angiotensin II-induced hypertension. Blood pressure was measured by the tail-cuff method, hypertension was induced by subcutaneous infusion of angiotensins, and then captopril, valsartan or LF-derived peptides orally administered. Angiotensin I- and angiotensin II-induced hypertension were reversed by captopril and valsartan, respectively. RPYL and DPYKLRP reversed angiotensin I-induced hypertension, while DPYKLRP but not RPYL produced a modest reversion of angiotensin II-elicited hypertension. Neither RPYL nor DPYKLRP modified normotension. Thus, in vivo ACE inhibition is involved in the antihypertensive effects of LF-derived peptides like RPYL and DPYKLRP, while inhibition of AT1 receptor-mediated vasoconstriction plays a less relevant role.
