Inhibiting leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions by Chinese medicine Tongxinluo capsule alleviates no-reflow after arterial recanalization in ischemic stroke
Aims: Despite successful vascular recanalization in stroke, one-fourth of patients have an unfavorable outcome due to no-reflow. The pathogenesis of no-reflow is fully unclear, and therapeutic strategies are lacking. Upon traditional Chinese medicine, Tongxinluo capsule (TXL) is a potential therapeutic agent for no-reflow. Thus, this study is aimed to investigate the pathogenesis of no-reflow in stroke, and whether TXL could alleviate no-reflow as well as its potential mechanisms of action. Methods: Mice were orally administered with TXL (3.0 g/kg/d) after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. We examined the following parameters: neurological function, no-reflow, leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions, HE staining, leukocyte subtypes, adhesion molecules, and chemokines. Results: Our results showed stroke caused neurological deficits, neuron death, and no-reflow. Adherent and aggregated leukocytes obstructed microvessels as well as leukocyte infiltration in ischemic brain. Leukocyte subtypes changed after stroke mainly including neutrophils, lymphocytes, regulatory T cells, suppressor T cells, helper T type 1 (Th1) cells, Th2 cells, B cells, macrophages, natural killer cells, and dendritic cells. Stroke resulted in upregulated expression of adhesion molecules (P-selectin, E-selectin, and ICAM-1) and chemokines (CC-chemokine ligand (CCL)-2, CCL-3, CCL-4, CCL-5, and chemokine C-X-C ligand 1 (CXCL-1)). Notably, TXL improved neurological deficits, protected neurons, alleviated no-reflow and leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions, regulated multiple leukocyte subtypes, and inhibited the expression of various inflammatory mediators. Conclusion: Leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions mediated by multiple inflammatory factors are an important cause of no-reflow in stroke. Accordingly, TXL could alleviate no-reflow via suppressing the interactions through modulating various leukocyte subtypes and inhibiting the expression of multiple inflammatory mediators.Keywords: Tongxinluo capsule; inflammatory factors; ischemic stroke; leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions; no-reflow.
