Assessing the Angiogenesis Effects of a Test Drug in a Rat Model of Ischemic Stroke

Assessing the Angiogenesis Effects of a Test Drug in a Rat Model of Ischemic Stroke

Begin with a rat subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion, a surgical procedure that temporarily blocks blood flow to the brain tissue.This induces an ischemic stroke, leading to brain tissue damage.Next, remove the blockage to restore blood flow.Select rats that exhibit neurological deficits to ensure study relevance.Then, administer the test drug to the experimental group while injecting saline into the other group.Repeat the drug and saline administration.The test drug promotes...

Evaluating Cell Death Signaling by Immunofluorescence in a Rat Model of Ischemic Stroke

Evaluating Cell Death Signaling by Immunofluorescence in a Rat Model of Ischemic Stroke

Rat in vivo models are indispensable tools to investigate the pathological mechanisms and therapeutic targets for ischemic stroke. This work will describe performing immunofluorescence staining in infarcted brain slices following middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in...

Induction of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Mice Using the Distal Middle Artery Occlusion Technique

Induction of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Mice Using the Distal Middle Artery Occlusion Technique

Here, we present a protocol to establish a distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAO) model through transcranial electrocoagulation in C57BL/6J mice and evaluate the subsequent neurological behavior and histopathological...

PET Imaging of Neuroinflammation Using [11C]DPA-713 in a Mouse Model of Ischemic Stroke

PET Imaging of Neuroinflammation Using [¹¹C]DPA-713 in a Mouse Model of Ischemic Stroke

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) provides a non-invasive means to visualize the dynamic role of neuroinflammation in the development and progression of brain diseases. This protocol describes TSPO-PET and ex vivo autoradiography to detect neuroinflammation in a mouse model of ischemic...

Optimized Management of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke

Optimized Management of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke

The outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke depends on swift restoration of cerebral blood flow. This protocol aims at optimizing the management of such patients by minimizing peri-procedural timings and rendering the time from hospital admission to reperfusion as short as...

Embolic Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO) for Ischemic Stroke with Homologous Blood Clots in Rats

Embolic Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO) for Ischemic Stroke with Homologous Blood Clots in Rats

In this paper, we demonstrate a standard method for producing an embolic middle cerebral artery occlusion with homologous blood clots (fibrin-rich) in adult rat. This model closely mimics human ischemic stroke and is suitable for preclinical study of thrombolytic therapy for ischemic stroke.
