Regulation of Stroke Volume01:27

Regulation of Stroke Volume

5.1K
The regulation of stroke volume, which is the amount of blood the heart pumps out during each heartbeat, is critical for maintaining a healthy circulatory system. Stroke volume is influenced by three main factors: preload, contractility, and afterload.
Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

1.1K
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Antiasthma Drugs: Inhaled Corticosteroids and Glucocorticoids

1.6K
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are anti-inflammatory drugs used primarily in treating persistent asthma and providing long-term maintenance. They target the bronchial mucosa, the lining of the airways, to control inflammation, a critical factor in asthma progression and exacerbation.
ICS work through a multifaceted mechanism of action. They suppress the inflammatory response caused by the proliferation of TH cells. They also reduce the transcription of the IL-2 gene, which is involved in the...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Glucocorticoids

478
Glucocorticoids, a class of anti-inflammatory drugs, are pivotal in treating moderate to severe Crohn's disease by inducing remission. They exhibit their anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and chemokines like IL-8. In addition, they reduce the expression of inflammatory cell adhesion molecules and inhibit gene transcription of nitric oxide synthase, phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-2...

GTPases and their Regulation02:14

GTPases and their Regulation

9.8K
Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins), also known as GTPases, are a superfamily of proteins that regulate many cellular processes, such as cell signaling, vesicular transport, and the regulation of cell shape and motility. Mutation or dysfunction of these proteins can lead to disease. There are around 40,000 known G-proteins that can broadly be classified into two groups ‒  small G-proteins consisting of a single domain and large multi-domain G-proteins.
Large G-proteins,...

Summary

Stroke impairs B-cell production by altering bone marrow activity through hormonal signals. This study identifies the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis as a key mediator of these immune defects after stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimmunology
  • Hematopoiesis
  • Stroke research

Background:

  • Stroke often leads to immunosuppression and increased infection risk, partly due to lymphopenia.
  • The mechanisms behind stroke-induced changes in leukocyte populations and bone marrow output are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the mechanisms causing B lymphopoiesis defects following ischemic stroke.
  • To explore the brain-bone marrow communication pathways affected by stroke.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized mouse models of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion.
  • Conducted bone marrow fluorescence-activated cell sorter analyses and intravital microscopy.
  • Examined the role of Toll-like receptor signaling, sympathetic nerves, and glucocorticoid receptors.

Main Results:

  • Ischemic stroke arrests B-cell development at the pro-B-cell stage in mice.
  • Stroke-induced glucocorticoid release, mediated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, was identified as the primary cause of B lymphopoiesis defects.
  • Blocking glucocorticoid receptor signaling partially restored lymphocyte numbers post-stroke.
  • Human stroke patients showed an inverse correlation between cortisol levels and blood lymphocyte counts.

Conclusions:

  • The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis plays a critical role in mediating B lymphopoiesis defects after ischemic stroke.
  • Stroke disrupts normal immune function through hormonal signaling affecting hematopoietic processes.
