ABSTRACT
Regional cold perfusion and hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier administration both exert neuroprotective effects against cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. We herein investigated whether the combination of these two therapies leads to stronger neuroprotective effects. Combination therapy was performed with the regional perfusion of cold HemoAct, a core-shell structured hemoglobin-albumin cluster, in a rat transient middle cerebral artery occlusion model. The effects of combination therapy, the intra-arterial administration of 10 °C HemoAct (10H) initiated at the onset of reperfusion, were compared with those of monotherapies, the intra-arterial administration of 10 °C saline (10S) and 37 °C HemoAct (37H), and an untreated control under the condition of 2-hour ischemia/24-hour reperfusion. The durability of therapeutic effects and the therapeutic time window of combination therapy were assessed based on comparisons with the 10H and control groups. Significantly better neurological findings and smaller infarct volumes were observed in the three treated (10S, 37H, and 10H) groups than in the control group. Among the 3 treated groups, only the 10H group showed significant improvements over the control group in the other items examined, including cerebral blood flow reduction, brain edema, and protein extravasation. The significant therapeutic effects of combination therapy on neurological disabilities and infarct volumes were confirmed at least until 7 days after reperfusion. Furthermore, combination therapy ameliorated neurological disabilities and hemorrhagic transformation in rats subjected to 4- and 5-hour ischemia/24-hour reperfusion. Since therapeutic effects may be expected until at least 5 h of complete ischemia and reperfusion, this combination therapy is a promising neuroprotective strategy against severe ischemic stroke.
