Targeted complement inhibition salvages stressed neurons and inhibits neuroinflammation after stroke in mice

Abstract

Ischemic stroke results from the interruption of blood flow to the brain resulting in long-term motor and cognitive neurological deficits, and it is a leading cause of death and disability. Current interventions focus on the restoration of blood flow to limit neuronal death, but these treatments have a therapeutic window of only a few hours and do not address post-stroke cerebral inflammation. The complement system, a component of the innate immune system, is activated by natural immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies that recognize neoepitopes expressed in the brain after ischemic stroke. We took advantage of this recognition system to inhibit complement activation locally in the ischemic area in mice. A single chain antibody recognizing a post-ischemic neoepitope linked to a complement inhibitor (termed B4Crry) was administered systemically as a single dose after stroke and shown to specifically target the ischemic hemisphere and improve long-term motor and cognitive recovery. We show that complement opsonins guide microglial phagocytosis of stressed but salvageable neurons, and that by locally and transiently inhibiting complement deposition, B4Crry prevented phagocytosis of penumbral neurons and inhibited pathologic complement a...Continue Reading

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Antibodies: Complement Activation

The complement system can be activated by antigen-associated antibody. In the classical pathway of complement activation, C1q, C4b, and C3b are all able to bind to the Fc portion of IgG or IgM. Find the latest research on antibodies and complement activation here.
