However, whether healthy plasma therapy improve blood–brain barrier integrity after stroke remains unknown.Methods Here, we intravenously injected healthy female mouse plasma into adult female ischaemic stroke C57BL/6 mouse induced by 90 min transient middle cerebral artery occlusion for eight consecutive days. Infarct volume, brain atrophy and neurobehavioural tests were examined to assess the outcomes of plasma treatment. Cell apoptosis, blood–brain barrier integrity and fibroblast growth factor 21 knockout mice were used to explore the underlying mechanism.Results Plasma injection improved neurobehavioural recovery and decreased infarct volume, brain oedema and atrophy after stroke. Immunostaining showed that the number of transferase dUTP nick end labelling +/NeuN+ cells decreased in the plasma-injected group. Meanwhile, plasma injection reduced ZO-1, occluding and claudin-5 tight junction gap formation and IgG extravasation at 3 days after ischaemic stroke. Western blot results showed that the FGF21 expression increased in the plasma-injected mice. However, using FGF21 knockout mouse plasma injecting to the ischaemic wild-type mice diminished the neuroprotective effects.Conclusions Our study demonstrated that healthy adult plasma treatment protected the structural and functional integrity of blood–brain barrier, reduced neuronal apoptosis and improved functional recovery via FGF21, opening a new avenue for ischaemic stroke therapy.","datePublished":"2021-12-24","isPartOf":{"@type":"PublicationIssue","issueNumber":"4","pagination":"","isPartOf":{"@type":"PublicationVolume","volumeNumber":"6","isPartOf":{"@type":"Periodical","name":"Stroke

brain disease. However, whether healthy plasma therapy improve blood–brain barrier integrity after stroke remains unknown.</p></div><div id="sec-2" class="subsection"><p id="p-3"><strong>Methods</strong> Here, we intravenously injected healthy female mouse plasma into adult female ischaemic stroke C57BL/6 mouse induced by 90 min transient middle cerebral artery occlusion for eight consecutive days. Infarct volume, brain atrophy and neurobehavioural tests were examined to assess the outcomes of plasma treatment. Cell apoptosis, blood–brain barrier integrity and fibroblast growth factor 21 knockout mice were used to explore the underlying mechanism.</p></div><div id="sec-3" class="subsection"><p id="p-4"><strong>Results</strong> Plasma injection improved neurobehavioural recovery and decreased infarct volume, brain oedema and atrophy after stroke. Immunostaining showed that the number of transferase dUTP nick end labelling<sup>+</sup>/NeuN<sup>+</sup> cells decreased in the plasma-injected group.

All these data suggested the potential use of plasma for ischaemic stroke therapy.</p><p id="p-43">Our study demonstrated the multiple beneficial effects of healthy plasma in treating stroke mice. First, healthy plasma treatment significantly reduced BBB disruption after stroke. It is well known that stroke leads to BBB disruption and increased BBB permeability, resulted in invasion of inflammatory factors, neurotoxins and pathogens into the brain, and consequently, exacerbates functional deficits.<a id="xref-ref-5-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-5">5</a> We found that injection of healthy plasma into stroke mice decreased tight junction gap formation in microvessels, and reduced IgG extravasation. Second, healthy plasma treatment reduced inflammatory response. Increasing evidence from both clinical and experimental studies suggests that inflammation contributes to the secondary injury that occurs after stroke, mostly due to the infiltration of peripheral immune cells into the brain, and leads to the upregulation of inflammatory factors in the brain.<a id="xref-ref-32-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-32">32</a> Our results showed that healthy plasma treatment decreased neuroinflammation at 3 days after tMCAO, which was correlated with an attenuation of BBB disruption, as less inflammatory cells infiltrated into the brain. Third, healthy plasma treatment reduced neuronal apoptosis at 3 days after tMCAO. It is well documented that ischaemic brain injury leads to neuronal apoptosis, and its inhibition provides a critical therapeutic target for ischaemic stroke.<a id="xref-ref-4-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-4">4 33</a> We found that injection of healthy plasma reduced neuronal apoptosis by about 50%, which was attributed to the attenuated neuroinflammation in the ischaemic brain. Whether healthy plasma treatment could inhibit other neuronal death ways, such as necrosis, ferroptosis and pyroptosis needs further investigation.</p><p id="p-44">FGF21, a growth factor, is predominantly secreted by the pancreas, regulates metabolic pathways.<a id="xref-ref-16-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-16">16</a> Recently, FGF21 has been shown to modulate systemic metabolism, inhibit inflammation and promote whiter matter recovery, supporting its therapeutic potential for neurological disorders.<a id="xref-ref-16-4" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-16">16 26 34</a> FGF21 protected the brain against BBB breakdown after ischaemic stroke and preserve tight junction integrity through FGFR1 upregulation and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ pathway.<a id="xref-ref-26-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-26">26 35</a> In a toxin-induced demyelination study, FGF21 derived from the pancreas leak into the brain after injury and promoted myelination through interactions through β-klotho.<a id="xref-ref-16-5" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-16">16</a> Our study observed that infusion of healthy plasma into ischaemic stroke mice elevated FGF21 in the brain, as well as its receptors including FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and its coreceptor β-klotho, indicating that healthy plasma may exert its neuroprotective effects through FGF21. We noted that plasma injection decreased blood glucose in tMCAO mice. This phenomenon may be due to the regulatory effect of FGF21 in blood, as our study demonstrated upregulation of FGF21 level in mice that received blood from the donors. It is reported that FGF21 is a metabolic modulator and could decrease glucose level in diabetic or obese mice by increasing insulin sensitivity.<a id="xref-ref-28-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-28">28 35 36</a> We then found that infusion of plasma from FGF21<sup>-/-</sup> mice into wild-type tMCAO mice diminished the neuroprotective effect of plasma, which confirmed our hypothesis that FGF21 plays a key role in plasma induced neuroprotection and BBB protection. Interestingly, compared with wild-type tMCAO mice, FGF21KO mice showed worse neurobehavioural outcomes, larger infarct volume and more gap formation, and the injection of healthy plasma from wild-type mice into FGF21<sup>-/-</sup> tMCAO mice did not achieve beneficial effects for the outcome of stroke, indicating both endogenous FGF21 and exogenous FGF21 are both important for promoting the recovery of stroke mice. In addition, previous studies showed that FGF21 receptors and MAPK and Akt downstream effector molecules gene expression were changed in FGF21KO mice,<a id="xref-ref-28-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-28">28 37</a> which also decrease the protective effect of exogenous FGF21 on ischaemic stroke.</p><p id="p-45">Sex differences in ischaemic stroke pathology are observed across experimental and clinical studies, which have profound implications for efficient stroke treatment.<a id="xref-ref-1-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-1">1 38 39</a> In our study, plasma was collected from female mice and injected into female mice that were subjected to ischaemic stroke. It is unclear whether plasma collected from different sexes contributed to different outcomes in ischaemic stroke. Age is another critical factor that influence ischaemic stroke prognosis. Studies showed that ageing significantly alter the cerebrovascular response to various stress and injuries.<a id="xref-ref-6-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-6">6 40</a> Although our study demonstrated that the young mice (2–3 months old) plasma transfusion protected against ischaemia-reperfusion injury of young stroke mice, whether plasma from aged mice still have neuroprotective effects in aged stroke mice needs to be clarified in future studies.</p><button data-testid="back-to-top-button" class="visible-link text-bmj-blue-600 hover:text-bmj-blue-900 mt-[16px] rounded-md

However, whether healthy plasma therapy improve blood–brain barrier integrity after stroke remains unknown.Methods Here, we intravenously injected healthy female mouse plasma into adult female ischaemic stroke C57BL/6 mouse induced by 90 min transient middle cerebral artery occlusion for eight consecutive days. Infarct volume, brain atrophy and neurobehavioural tests were examined to assess the outcomes of plasma treatment. Cell apoptosis, blood–brain barrier integrity and fibroblast growth factor 21 knockout mice were used to explore the underlying mechanism.Results Plasma injection improved neurobehavioural recovery and decreased infarct volume, brain oedema and atrophy after stroke. Immunostaining showed that the number of transferase dUTP nick end labelling +/NeuN+ cells decreased in the plasma-injected group. Meanwhile, plasma injection reduced ZO-1, occluding and claudin-5 tight junction gap formation and IgG extravasation at 3 days after ischaemic stroke. Western blot results showed that the FGF21 expression increased in the plasma-injected mice. However, using FGF21 knockout mouse plasma injecting to the ischaemic wild-type mice diminished the neuroprotective effects.Conclusions Our study demonstrated that healthy adult plasma treatment protected the structural and functional integrity of blood–brain barrier, reduced neuronal apoptosis and improved functional recovery via FGF21, opening a new avenue for ischaemic stroke therapy.11:T62e,Background Healthy plasma therapy reverses cognitive deficits and promotes neuroplasticity in ageing brain disease.

disease. However, whether healthy plasma therapy improve blood–brain barrier integrity after stroke remains unknown.Methods Here, we intravenously injected healthy female mouse plasma into adult female ischaemic stroke C57BL/6 mouse induced by 90 min transient middle cerebral artery occlusion for eight consecutive days. Infarct volume, brain atrophy and neurobehavioural tests were examined to assess the outcomes of plasma treatment. Cell apoptosis, blood–brain barrier integrity and fibroblast growth factor 21 knockout mice were used to explore the underlying mechanism.Results Plasma injection improved neurobehavioural recovery and decreased infarct volume, brain oedema and atrophy after stroke. Immunostaining showed that the number of transferase dUTP nick end labelling +/NeuN+ cells decreased in the plasma-injected group. Meanwhile, plasma injection reduced ZO-1, occluding and claudin-5 tight junction gap formation and IgG extravasation at 3 days after ischaemic stroke. Western blot results showed that the FGF21 expression increased in the plasma-injected mice. However, using FGF21 knockout mouse plasma injecting to the ischaemic wild-type mice diminished the neuroprotective effects.Conclusions Our study demonstrated that healthy adult plasma treatment protected the structural and functional integrity of blood–brain barrier, reduced neuronal apoptosis and improved functional recovery via FGF21, opening a new avenue for ischaemic stroke therapy.\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-12-24\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@type\":\"PublicationIssue\",\"issueNumber\":\"4\",\"pagination\":\"\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@type\":\"PublicationVolume\",\"volumeNumber\":\"6\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@type\":\"Periodical\",\"name\":\"Stroke and Vascular Neurology\"}}},\"url\":\"https://svn.bmj.com/content/6/4/561\",\"description\":\"Introduction Ischaemic stroke is one of the most critical cause of long-term disability and death in the world.\"}"])</script><script>self.__next_f.push([1,"17:T721,(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start':\n new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js',...{\"page\":{\"hwTitle\":\"Plasma from healthy donors protects blood–brain barrier integrity via FGF21 and improves the recovery in a mouse model of cerebral ischaemia\",\"hwUrl\":\"/content/svnbmj/6/4/561\",\"hwPath\":\"/content/svnbmj/6/4/561\",\"hwType\":\"journal-article\"},\"user\":{\"hwMemberID\":\"\",\"hwLoggedIntoInstitutionID\":\"\",\"hwLoggedIntoInstitution\":\"\",\"hwAccessUsageTerms\":\"\",\"hwRegisteredUser\":\"\",\"hwHasFullTextAccess\":\"\",\"hwEntitled\":\"\",\"mail\":\"\"},\"content\":{\"hwIssueDate\":\"2021-12-24\",\"hwIssueDateTime\":\"2021-12-24\",\"hwPublicationDate\":\"2021-12-24\",\"hwPublicationDateTime\":\"2021-12-24\",\"hwNlmArticleType\":\"\",\"hwDOI\":\"10.1136/svn-2020-000774\",\"hwAuthors\":\"Muyassar Mamtilahun, Lu Jiang, Yaying Song, Xiaojing Shi, Chang Liu, Yixu Jiang, Lidong Deng, Haoran Zheng, Hui Shen, Yongfang Li, Zhijun Zhang, Yongting Wang, Yaohui Tang, Guo-Yuan Yang\",\"hwContributors\":\"\",\"hwIsEarlyRelease\":\"\",\"hwEissn\":\"\",\"hwPissn\":\"\",\"hwVolume\":\"6\",\"hwIssue\":\"4\",\"hwArticleType\":\"Original research\",\"hwTabView\":\"\",\"hwViewType\":\"\",\"hwAccessType\":\"open-access\",\"hwOpenAccess\":\"true\",\"hwFreeAccess\":\"\",\"hwTaxonomy\":\"\",\"hwCorpusCode\":\"journal\",\"hwType\":\"journal-article\",\"hwSubtitle\":null,\"hwOverline\":null,\"hwPisaId\":\"\",\"hwFirstPage\":null,\"hwLastPage\":null,\"hwIsLatestVersion\":\"\",\"hwIsCurrentIssue\":\"\",\"hwIsOpenIssue\":\"\",\"hwHasFullText\":\"\",\"hwHasPDF\":true,\"hwParentTitle\":\"\",\"hwElectronicPubDate\":\"\",\"hwElectronicPubDateTime\":\"\"}}});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],\n j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'\u0026l='+l:\"\";j.async=true;j.src=\n 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);\n })(window,document,'script','dataLayer', 'GTM-5SHSDJ');1c:{\"id\":\"svnbmj\",\"title\":\"Plasma from healthy donors protects blood–brain barrier integrity via FGF21 and improves the recovery in a mouse model of cerebral ischaemia\",\"licenseUrl\":\"http://creativecommons.org/lic"])</script><script>self.__next_f.push([1,"enses/by-nc/4.0/\",\"accessType\":\"open-access\",\"isOpenAccess\":\"true\",\"publicationDateTimestamp\":\"2021-12-24\",\"authorList\":\"Muyassar Mamtilahun, Lu Jiang, Yaying Song, Xiaojing Shi, Chang Liu, Yixu Jiang, Lidong Deng, Haoran Zheng, Hui Shen, Yongfang Li, Zhijun Zhang, Yongting Wang, Yaohui Tang, Guo-Yuan Yang\",\"volume\":\"6\",\"issue\":\"4\",\"firstPage\":\"561\",\"lastPage\":\"571\"}\n1d:{\"title\":\"Plasma from healthy donors protects blood–brain barrier integrity via FGF21 and improves the recovery in a mouse model of cerebral ischaemia\",\"authorDisplay\":\"Muyassar Mamtilahun, Lu Jiang, Yaying Song, Xiaojing Shi, Chang Liu, Yixu Jiang, Lidong Deng, Haoran Zheng, Hui Shen, Yongfang Li, Zhijun Zhang, Yongting Wang, Yaohui Tang, Guo-Yuan Yang\",\"elocationId\":null,\"journalName\":\"Stroke and Vascular Neurology\",\"publicationYear\":\"2021\",\"volume\":\"6\"}\n1e:{\"title\":\"Plasma from healthy donors protects blood–brain barrier integrity via FGF21 and improves the recovery in a mouse model of cerebral ischaemia\",\"articleUrl\":\"https://svn.bmj.com/content/6/4/561\"}\n20:[[\"Neuroscience and Neuroengineering Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Biomedical Engineering, Shanghai, China\",1],[\"Department of Neurology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Medical School Affiliated Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai, China\",2]]\n26:T66c,Healthy plasma reduced BBB disruption and neuronal apoptosis in tMCAO mice photomicrographs showed that the endothelial cell marker CD31 (red) with BBB tight junction proteins (green), ZO-1 (A), occludin (C) and claudin-5 (E) in the peri-infarct area of the striatum in sham, salineinjected and plasma-injected mice.
