    摘要:

    目的 神经炎症在缺血性脑卒中的发生和发展过程中起着至关重要的作用,并显著影响中枢神经系统的恢复。过度的神经炎症可能导致继发性神经元损伤,进一步加重脑损害并阻碍功能恢复。因此,有效调控和减少脑内神经炎症已成为改善缺血性脑卒中预后的关键治疗策略。在众多方法中,通过免疫调节控制炎症反应逐渐受到广泛关注。本研究旨在探讨体外诱导的调节性T细胞(Treg细胞)在抑制缺血性脑卒中后神经炎症中的作用及其潜在的治疗效果。通过研究Treg细胞发挥免疫调节功能的机制,希望为缺血性脑卒中的治疗策略提供新的科学依据。方法 采用阴性选择的方法从小鼠脾脏中分离初始CD4+ T细胞,以确保高纯度,然后通过添加特定细胞因子在体外诱导其分化为Treg细胞。评估Treg细胞移植在缺血性脑卒中小鼠模型中的抗炎作用及治疗潜力。在大脑中动脉闭塞(MCAO)模型中,移植Treg细胞后,观察其是否能顺利到达脑梗死区域,以及对神经炎症水平的影响。分析细胞因子表达的变化及其对免疫细胞相互作用的影响。测定梗死面积及行为学评分,以评估Treg细胞在神经保护方面的效果。通过整合多种指标,全面探讨Treg细胞在缺血性脑卒中治疗中的潜在优势。结果 Treg细胞在体外和体内均显著调节了促炎和抗炎因子的表达水平,有效平衡免疫反应并抑制过度炎症。此外,Treg细胞能够抑制炎症细胞的激活和活性,从而减少神经炎症。在MCAO小鼠模型中,观察到Treg细胞在脑梗死区域富集,显著降低了梗死面积,显示出其神经保护作用。此外,Treg细胞治疗显著改善了行为学评分,提示其对功能恢复的促进作用,并且提高了缺血性脑卒中小鼠的存活率,突出了其作为卒中治疗潜在策略的应用价值。结论 体外诱导的Treg细胞能够有效抑制缺血性脑卒中引发的神经炎症,展现出良好的临床应用前景。通过调节促炎和抗炎因子平衡,Treg细胞可抑制神经系统中的免疫反应来减少神经元损伤。Treg细胞还能调控免疫微环境,抑制炎症细胞的激活,促进组织修复。此外,Treg细胞的治疗作用还包括增强卒中后恢复、改善行为学表现以及提高缺血性脑卒中小鼠的存活率。凭借其抑制神经炎症的特性,Treg细胞疗法为缺血性脑卒中的治疗提供了一种新颖且有效的策略,在临床免疫治疗和再生医学领域具有广阔的应用潜力。

    Abstract:

    Objective Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in both the onset and progression of ischemic stroke, exerting a significant impact on the recovery of the central nervous system. Excessive neuroinflammation can lead to secondary neuronal damage, further exacerbating brain injury and impairing functional recovery. As a result, effectively modulating and reducing neuroinflammation in the brain has become a key therapeutic strategy for improving outcomes in ischemic stroke patients. Among various approaches, targeting immune regulation to control inflammation has gained increasing attention. This study aims to investigate the role of in vitro induced regulatory T cells (Treg cells) in suppressing neuroinflammation after ischemic stroke, as well as their potential therapeutic effects. By exploring the mechanisms through which Tregs exert their immunomodulatory functions, this research is expected to provide new insights into stroke treatment strategies.Methods Naive CD4+ T cells were isolated from mouse spleens using a negative selection method to ensure high purity, and then they were induced in vitro to differentiate into Treg cells by adding specific cytokines. The anti-inflammatory effects and therapeutic potential of Treg cells transplantation in a mouse model of ischemic stroke was evaluated. In the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model, after Treg cells transplantation, their ability to successfully migrate to the infarcted brain region and their impact on neuroinflammation levels were examined. To further investigate the role of Treg cells in stroke recovery, the changes in cytokine expression and their effects on immune cell interactions was analyzed. Additionally, infarct size and behavioral scores were measured to assess the neuroprotective effects of Treg cells. By integrating multiple indicators, the comprehensive evaluation of potential benefits of Treg cells in the treatment of ischemic stroke was performed.Results Treg cells significantly regulated the expression levels of both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in vitro and in vivo, effectively balancing the immune response and suppressing excessive inflammation. Additionally, Treg cells inhibited the activation and activity of inflammatory cells, thereby reducing neuroinflammation. In the MCAO mouse model, Treg cells were observed to accumulate in the infarcted brain region, where they significantly reduced the infarct size, demonstrating their neuroprotective effects. Furthermore, Treg cell therapy notably improved behavioral scores, suggesting its role in promoting functional recovery, and increased the survival rate of ischemic stroke mice, highlighting its potential as a promising therapeutic strategy for stroke treatment.Conclusion In vitro induced Treg cells can effectively suppress neuroinflammation caused by ischemic stroke, demonstrating promising clinical application potential. By regulating the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, Treg cells can inhibit immune responses in the nervous system, thereby reducing neuronal damage. Additionally, they can modulate the immune microenvironment, suppress the activation of inflammatory cells, and promote tissue repair. The therapeutic effects of Treg cells also include enhancing post-stroke recovery, improving behavioral outcomes, and increasing the survival rate of ischemic stroke mice. With their ability to suppress neuroinflammation, Treg cell therapy provides a novel and effective strategy for the treatment of ischemic stroke, offering broad application prospects in clinical immunotherapy and regenerative medicine.
