Abstract
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability, and ischemic stroke accounts for more than 80% of the disease occurrence. Timely reperfusion is essential in the treatment of ischemic stroke, but it is known to cause ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and the relevant studies have mostly focused on the acute phase. Here we reported on a global proteomic analysis to investigate the development of cerebral I/R injury in the subacute and long-term phases. A rat model was used, with 2 h-middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) followed with 1, 7, and 14 days of reperfusion. The proteins of cerebral cortex were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, whole-gel slicing, and quantitative LC-MS/MS. Totally 5621 proteins were identified, among which 568, 755, and 492 proteins were detected to have significant dys-regulation in the model groups with 1, 7, and 14 days of reperfusion, respectively, when compared with the corresponding sham groups (n = 4, fold change ≥1.5 or ≤0.67 and p ≤ 0.05). Bioinformatic analysis on the functions and reperfusion time-dependent dys-regulation profiles of the proteins exhibited changes of structures and biological processes in cytoskeleton, synaptic plasticity, energy metabolism, inflammation, and lysosome from subacute to long-term phases of cerebral I/R injury. Disruption of cytoskeleton and synaptic structures, impairment of energy metabolism processes, and acute inflammation responses were the most significant features in the subacute phase. With the elongation of reperfusion time to the long-term phase, a tendency of recovery was detected on cytoskeleton, while inflammation pathways different from the subacute phase were activated. Also, lysosomal structures and functions might be restored. This is the first work reporting the proteome changes that occurred at different time points from the subacute to long-term phases of cerebral I/R injury and we expect it would provide useful information to improve the understanding of the mechanisms involved in the development of cerebral I/R injury and suggest candidates for treatment.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of ipsilateral versus bilateral limb-training on promotion of endogenous neural stem cells in the peripheral infarct zone and the corresponding cerebral region in the unaffected hemisphere of rats with cerebral infarction. Middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced in Wistar rats. The rat forelimb on the unaffected side was either wrapped up with tape to force the use of the paretic forelimb in rats or not braked to allow bilateral forelimbs to participate in training. Daily training consisted of mesh drum training, balance beam training, and stick rolling training for a total of 40 minutes, once per day. Control rats received no training. At 14 days after functional training, rats receiving bilateral limb-training exhibited milder neurological impairment than that in the ipsilateral limb-training group or the control group. The number of nestin/glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive and nestin/microtubule-associated protein 2-positive cells in the peripheral infarct zone and in the corresponding cerebral region in the unaffected hemisphere was significantly higher in rats receiving bilateral limb-training than in rats receiving ipsilateral limb-training. These data suggest that bilateral limb-training can promote the proliferation and differentiation of endogenous neural stem cells in the bilateral hemispheres after cerebral infarction and accelerate the recovery of neurologic function. In addition, bilateral limb-training produces better therapeutic effects than ipsilateral limb-training.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of cyanidin-3-O-β-glucoside on an experimental model of partial/transient cerebral ischemia in the rats in order to verify the effectiveness of both pre- and posttreatments. Cyanidin-3-O-β-glucoside-pretreated rats were injected with 10 mg/Kg i.p. 1 h before the induction of cerebral ischemia; in posttreated rats, the same dosage was injected during reperfusion (30 min after restoring blood flow). Cerebral ischemia was induced by bilateral clamping of common carotid arteries for 20 min. Ischemic rats were sacrificed immediately after 20 min ischemia; postischemic reperfused animals were sacrificed after 3 or 24 h of restoring blood flow. Results showed that treatment with cyanidin increased the levels of nonproteic thiol groups after 24 h of postischemic reperfusion, significantly reduced the lipid hydroperoxides, and increased the expression of heme oxygenase and γ-glutamyl cysteine synthase; a significant reduction in the expression of neuronal and inducible nitric oxide synthases and the equally significant increase in the endothelial isoform were observed. Significant modifications were also detected in enzymes involved in metabolism of endogenous inhibitors of nitric oxide. Most of the effects were observed with both pre- and posttreatments with cyanidin-3-O-β-glucoside suggesting a role of anthocyanin in both prevention and treatment of postischemic reperfusion brain damage.

Abstract
Various acute brain pathological conditions are characterized by the presence of elevated glutamate concentrations in the brain interstitial fluids. It has been established that a decrease in the blood glutamate level enhances the brain-to-blood efflux of glutamate, removal of which from the brain may prevent glutamate excitotoxicity and its contribution to the long-lasting neurological deficits seen in stroke. A decrease in blood glutamate level can be achieved by exploiting the glutamate-scavenging properties of the blood-resident enzyme glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, which transforms glutamate into 2-ketoglutarate in the presence of the glutamate co-substrate oxaloacetate. The present study had the aim of an evaluation of the effects of the blood glutamate scavenger oxaloacetate on the impaired long-term potentiation (LTP) induced in the 2-vessel occlusion ischaemic model in rat. Transient (30-min) incomplete forebrain ischaemia was produced 72 h before LTP induction. Although the short transient brain hypoperfusion did not induce histologically identifiable injuries in the CA1 region (Fluoro-Jade B, S-100 and cresyl violet), it resulted in an impaired LTP function in the hippocampal CA1 region without damaging the basal synaptic transmission between the Schaffer collaterals and the pyramidal neurons. This impairment could be fended off in a dose-dependent manner by the intravenous administration of oxaloacetate in saline (at doses between 1.5 mmol and 0.1 mumol) immediately after the transient hypoperfusion. Our results suggest that oxaloacetate-mediated blood and brain glutamate scavenging contributes to the restoration of the LTP after its impairment by brain ischaemia.

Abstract
The aim of the present work was to perform immunocytochemical studies of cells synthesizing the intermediate filament protein vimentin in the telencephalon of intact rats and rats subjected to unilateral permanent occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, which models ischemic stroke. In the intact rat brain, vimentin-containing cells were seen in the brain barriers. At 14 days from occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, there were numerous vimentin-immunopositive cells in the perifocal damage zone, and these accounted for a significant proportion of the cells in the regenerating nervous tissue at the boundary with undamaged tissue. The subependymal proliferative zone contained a significant number of vimentin-negative small cells, located between the long processes of vimentin-immunopositive cells running towards the lesioned zone. These data provide evidence of the predominant location of vimentin-immunopositive brain cells (in both intact and lesioned animals) in the zones forming barrier structures.

Abstract
It is likely that neuronal loss occurs in certain brain regions in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) without any neurofibrillary pathology. In the human principle inferior olivary nucleus (PO), we have shown that neuronal loss is about 34% (Lasn et al. Journal of Alzheimer Disease, 2001; 3: 159–168), but the fate of the neuroglial cells is unknown. Since the unique network of neurons and neuroglial cells and their cohabitation are essential for normal functioning of CNS, we designed a study to estimate the total number of oligodendrocytes and astrocytes in normally aged and AD brains. The study is based on 10 control and 11 AD post-mortem human brains. An unbiased stereological fractionator method was used. We found significant oligodendroglial cell loss (46%) in AD as compared to control brains, while the total number of astrocytes showed a tendency to decrease. It is likely that the ratio of oligodendroglial cells to neurons remains unchanged even in degenerative states, indicating that oligodendroglial cells parallel neuronal loss. Astroglial cells did not increase in total number, but the ratio to neurons was significantly increased due to the neuronal loss. Using a novel unbiased quantitative method, we were able to describe significant oligodendroglial loss in the PO but the pathogenic mechanism behind remains unknown.

Abstract
Research indicates that glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), part of the astroglial skeleton, could be a marker of traumatic brain injury (TBI). S100B, an astroglial protein, is an acknowledged marker of TBI. Our goal was to analyze the relationship of GFAP/S100B to brain damage and outcome, and to compare the accuracy of GFAP/S100B for prediction of mortality after TBI. Our prospective study included 92 patients admitted <12 h after TBI (median injury severity score 25, median Glasgow Coma Scale 6). TBI was verfied by computerized tomography. GFAP/S100B were measured immunoluminometrically at admission and daily in the intensive care unit (average 10 days, range 1-21 days). We compared GFAP/S100B in non-survivors versus survivors, accuracy for mortality prediction according to receiver operated characteristic curve analysis, correlation between GFAP and S100B, relationship of GFAP/S100B to computerized tomography, cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and 3-month Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS). GFAP (p < 0.005) and S100B (p < 0.0005) were higher in non-survivors than survivors. Both GFAP and S100B were accurate for mortality prediction (area under curve 0.84 versus 0.78 at <12 h after TBI). GFAP and S100B release correlated better later than 36 h after TBI (r = 0.75) than earlier (r = 0.58). GFAP was lower in focal lesions of <25 mL than in shifts of >0.5 cm (p < 0.0005) and non-evacuated mass lesions of >25 mL (p < 0.005). S100B was lower in focal lesions of <25 mL than in non-evacuated mass lesions (p < 0.0005) and lower in swelling than in shifts of >0.5 cm (p < 0.005). GFAP and S100B were lower in ICP < 25 than ICP > or = 25 (p < 0.0005), in CPP > or = 60 than CPP < 60 (p < 0.0005), in MAP > 70 than MAP < or = 70 mm Hg, and in GOS 4-5 than GOS 1 (p < 0.0005). Both measurement of GFAP and S100B is a useful non-invasive means of identifying brain damage with some differences based on the pattern of TBI and accompanying multiple trauma and/or shock.

Abstract
Class II vessels were disrupted on the cortical surface of adult rats within a circular 5-mm-diameter area. This consistently resulted in the formation of a conical lesion by day 1, with a cystic cavity forming by day 21. Four markers were used to identify the glial response surrounding the lesion. The antibody used against S100beta marked the largest astrocytic pool in the gray matter of the cerebral cortex; only approximately 5% of astrocytes were glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)(+) in control animals. GFAP served as a marker for distal reactive gliosis and vimentin (VIM) for proximal gliosis. Isolectin B4 was used as an additional marker to distinguish VIM(+) microglia from astrocytes inside the lesion area. Three immunohistochemically distinct areas of reactive astrocytes surrounding the lesion were found within 24 hr of injury and lasted through day 6. The first area, in contrast to focal traumatic injuries, consisted of a 196-microm-thick boundary layer of S100beta(+) cells immediately surrounding the lesion that never expressed GFAP or VIM by day 6. This boundary layer turns into a GFAP(+) glial limitans encasing the cystic cavity by day 21. A second unusual extended area around the base of the lesion reaching partly into the corpus callosum consisted of S100beta(+)/GFAP(+)/VIM(+) cells. This region appears to be compatible with the local or proximal gliotic response usually found completely surrounding other focal-type injuries. The proximal response at the base of the lesion developed over the first 3 days in the following sequence: S100beta(+)/GFAP(-)/VIM(-) to S100beta(+)/GFAP(+)/VIM(-) to S100beta(+)/GFAP(+)/VIM(+). Ninety percent of the astrocytes in this area express VIM. This is very high compared with findings in stab-wound preparations, where only 10% of astrocytes (surrounding entire lesion) are found to be VIM(+). A third region, consistent with a remote or distal reactive gliotic response, demonstrated staining for S100beta and had increased GFAP contents throughout the neocortical hemisphere. Cells in this region were never found to be VIM(+). Among S100beta(+) cells close to the boundary region, more than 80% expressed detectable GFAP by 2 days after lesioning. S100beta(+) cells 1 mm more laterally (distal to lesion) did not express GFAP to the same level until day 6. Thus, we find three immunohistochemically distinct populations of reactive astrocytes surrounding the focal ischemic lesion. In contrast to the case for stab-wound traumatic injury, the response closest to and surrounding the lesion did not up-regulate GFAP or VIM by day 6. The proximal response was, instead, more remote and only at the base of the lesion, extending partly into the corpus callosum.

Abstract
Neuropathological changes in the cerebellar cortex of microsphere-embolized rats were studied at 30 min and 3 h after the embolism. Necrotic processes including a sponge-like vacuolation in the molecular layer, a vague outline of some Purkinje cells, and a few pyknotic granule cells having small and dark profiles were identified at sometime between 30 min and 3 h after microsphere-induced embolism in Nissl staining. Glial fibrillary acidic protein staining shows an apparent reduction in the number of Bergmann glial processes in some of the areas where there was necrosis of the molecular layer and poor astroglia processes in the areas subjacent to the pyknotic granule cells. These data demonstrate that within a short time, microsphere-induced cerebral ischemia produces necrosis of cerebellar neurons (i.e. Purkinje and granule cells) and changes in cerebellar glia cells (i.e. Bergmann and astroglia cells), and that these neuropathological changes are secondary phenomenon caused by microsphere blockage of cerebellar blood flow.

Abstract
Glial cells are traditionally regarded as elements for structural support and ionic homeostasis, but have recently attracted attention as putative integral elements of the machinery involved in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Here, we demonstrate that calcium-binding protein S100B, which is synthesized in considerable amounts in astrocytes (a major glial cell subtype), modulates long-term synaptic plasticity. Mutant mice devoid of S100B developed normally and had no detectable abnormalities in the cytoarchitecture of the brain. These mutant mice, however, had strengthened synaptic plasticity as identified by enhanced long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampal CA1 region. Perfusion of hippocampal slices with recombinant S100B proteins reversed the levels of LTP in the mutant slices to those of the wild-type slices, indicating that S100B might act extracellularly. In addition to enhanced LTP, mutant mice had enhanced spatial memory in the Morris water maze test and enhanced fear memory in the contextual fear conditioning. The results indicate that S100B is a glial modulator of neuronal synaptic plasticity and strengthen the notion that glial-neuronal interaction is important for information processing in the brain.

Abstract
Several trophic factors are known to regulate the survival and growth of neurons in brain and peripheral tissues. Several findings suggest that basic fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) plays an important role in the "self-repair" responses that follow injuries such as trauma and brain ischemia and that FGF-2 contributes to the repair of damaged tissue. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a potent growth-regulatory protein secreted by virtually all cells. In the present study, we used immunohistochemical techniques to investigate whether FGF-2 and TGF-beta1 participate in the healing of damaged tissue following partial brain ischemia. The profile of the observed immunoreactivities indicated that TGF-beta1 and FGF-2 release varies between the different cerebral areas subjected to ischemic insult. Moreover, the sectorial heterogeneity of immunocytochemical response suggests that, during postischemic reperfusion, neuronal recovery may be due not only to neuron-glia interaction but also to neurochemical conditions involving inhibitory interneurons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study was aimed at the comparative analysis of serum concentrations of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and protein S-100B in patients with acute stroke. METHODS We investigated 32 patients with stroke symptoms consistent with cerebral ischemia in the anterior territory of vascular supply. Serial venous blood samples were taken after admission to the hospital and during the first 4 days after onset of stroke. Evaluation of lesion topography and volume of infarcted brain area was based on cranial CT data. The patients' clinical status was consecutively evaluated by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and the Barthel Index score at discharge from the hospital. RESULTS Protein S-100B and GFAP release was found to be significantly correlated (r=0.96; P:<0.001). The release of both biochemical markers was associated with the volume of brain lesions (S-100B: r=0.957, P:<0.0001; GFAP: r=0.955, P:<0.0001) and the neurological status at discharge from the hospital (S-100B: r=0.821, P:=0.0002; GFAP: r=0.717, P:=0.0003). The highest correlation between both S-100B and GFAP serum concentration and Barthel score was calculated at the last time of blood sampling, 4 days after stroke onset (S-100B: r=0.621, P:<0.001; GFAP: r=0.655, P:<0.001). The release of both astroglia derived proteins differed between different subtypes of stroke. GFAP was found to be a more sensitive marker of brain damage in patients with smaller lacunar lesions or minor strokes. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that postischemic release patterns of GFAP and S-100B protein may allow insight into the underlying pathophysiology of acute cerebral infarcts and may be used as a valuable tool of clinical stroke treatment.

Abstract
Nitric Oxide (NO) mediates a series of physiological processes including regulation of vascular tone, macrophage-mediated cytotoxicity, platelet aggregation, learning and long-term potentiation, neuronal transmission. Although NO mediates several physiological functions, overproduction of NO can be detrimental and play multiple roles in the pathophysiology of focal cerebral ischemia. In the present study NOS activities were evaluated in cerebellum and cerebral cortex of ischemic and post-ischemic reperfused rats using an experimental model of partial cerebral ischemia; moreover, the effects of L-N(G)Nitroarginine (NA, nonselective NOS inhibitor) or 7-Nitroindazole (7-NI, selective neuronal NOS inhibitor) administration were assayed on percentage survival of ischemic rats. An increase of NOS activity in the cerebellum and in cerebral cortex of ischemic and post-ischemic reperfused rats was observed. NA administration failed to induce neuroprotective effects, by increasing percentage of mortality of treated ischemic rats with respect to control group. In contrast, the treatment with the selective neuronal NOS inhibitor, 7-NI, induced a significant neuroprotective effect.
