Combining Human Umbilical Cord Blood Cells With Erythropoietin Enhances Angiogenesis/Neurogenesis and Behavioral Recovery After Stroke
In conclusion, our results suggest that hUCBC infusion in combination with EPO administration demonstrates therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of stroke-induced injury by promoting neurogenesis and angiogenesis. Further research that delineates the therapeutic mechanism of systemically administered hUCBC and EPO is required. Ethics Statement All experimental procedures involving animals were performed in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals as adopted and promulgated by the U. S. National Institutes of Health and were approved by CHA University Institutional Animal Care & Use Com...

20 years of Modifying Stroke Risk in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Patients: a Single Center Experience of Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) in SCD (P6.256)
Conclusions:While BMT is curative for SCD, the impact on cerebral vasculopathy and ongoing stroke risk is unknown. Data from this sample suggests that BMT is associated with stabilization but not resolution of vasculopathy and dramatic reduction of stroke after the first year.Study Supported by:N/ADisclosure: Dr. Carpenter has nothing to disclose.

Attenuation of Myeloid Specific TGF β Signaling Induces Inflammatory Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke.
Conclusions: Our studies show that TGFβ signaling in myeloid cells is required for maintenance of vascular health, and provide insight into inflammation-mediated cerebrovascular disease and stroke. PMID: 29051340 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Interleukin-1 receptor inhibition reduces stroke size in a murine model of sickle cell disease.
Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with chronic hemolytic anemia and a heightened inflammatory state. The causal role of inflammatory pathways in stroke associated with SCD is unclear. Therefore, the hypothesis that deletion of the non-hematopoietic interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) pool may be beneficial in SCD was pursued. Since potential deleterious effects of IL-1R signaling in SCD could be mediated via downstream production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), the role of the non-hematopoietic IL-6 pool was also addressed. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from SCD to wild-type (WT) recipient mice was used to ...

Endothelial Cell-Derived von Willebrand Factor Is the Major Determinant That Mediates von Willebrand Factor-Dependent Acute Ischemic Stroke by Promoting Postischemic Thrombo-Inflammation.
CONCLUSIONS: Plt-VWF, either in presence or absence of ADAMTS13, partially contributes to VWF-dependent injury and postischemic thrombo-inflammation after stroke. EC-VWF is the major determinant that mediates VWF-dependent ischemic stroke by promoting postischemic thrombo-inflammation. PMID: 27444201 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Thiamine Deficiency While on Total Parenteral Nutrition Mimicking Acute Stroke: A Case Report (P3.217)
CONCLUSIONS: Thiamine deficiency mimicking stroke while on total parenteral nutrition has been rarely documented. Recognition of this syndrome is critical as prompt treatment may reverse symptoms.Disclosure: Dr. Parker has nothing to disclose. Dr. Marafie has nothing to disclose.

Microglial-mediated PDGF-CC activation increases cerebrovascular permeability during ischemic stroke
AbstractTreatment of acute ischemic stroke with the thrombolytic tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) can significantly improve neurological outcomes; however, thrombolytic therapy is associated with an increased risk of intra-cerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Previously, we demonstrated that during stroke tPA acting on the parenchymal side of the neurovascular unit (NVU) can increase blood –brain barrier (BBB) permeability and ICH through activation of latent platelet-derived growth factor-CC (PDGF-CC) and signaling by the PDGF receptor-α (PDGFRα). However, in vitro, activation of PDGF-CC by tPA is very inefficient and the mec...

Percutaneous PFO closure for paradoxical stroke in 8‐kg twins
We present two cases of PFO closures in identical 8 kg twin boys with Hurler’s syndrome who had central lines for planned bone marrow transplants, with embolic stroke in one. We discuss the treatment options as well as the special challenges based on the patients’ age, size, and diagnoses. We also discuss the technical aspects and safety of percutaneous PFO closure. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Sickle Cell Disease Subjects Have a Distinct Abnormal Autonomic Phenotype Characterized by Peripheral Vasoconstriction With Blunted Cardiac Response to Head-Up Tilt
Conclusion We have shown that SCD subjects are much more likely than non-SCD subjects to have impaired cardiac, but intact peripheral responses to orthostatic stress induced by HUT. These abnormal responses are associated with low baseline cardiac parasympathetic activity, independent of hemoglobin level. The classification of autonomic phenotypes based on HUT response may have potential use for predicting disease severity, guiding and targeting treatments/interventions to alleviate the risk of adverse outcomes in SCD. Ethics Statement All experiments were conducted at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). The ...

Development of psychological and intellectual performance in transplanted sickle cell disease patients: A prospective study from pretransplant period to 5years after HSCT.
CONCLUSION: At the end of follow-up, the patients improved their physical and psychological well-being. This allowed them to build projects for the future and to manifest the desire of becoming an adult. Bone marrow transplantation in this cohort of children with SCD and severe cerebral vasculopathy is associated with improved performance as measured by the Wechsler scale.

Stem Cells for Cell-Based Therapies
The world of stem cells We know the human body comprises many cell types (e.g., blood cells, skin cells, cervical cells), but we often forget to appreciate that all of these different cell types arose from a single cell—the fertilized egg. A host of sequential, awe-inspiring events occur between the fertilization of an egg and the formation of a new individual: Embryonic stem (ES) cells are also called totipotent cells. The first steps involve making more cells by simple cell division: one cell becomes two cells; two cells become four cells, etc. Each cell of early development is undifferentiated; that is, it is...

Migration of bone marrow‐derived cells into the CNS in models of neurodegeneration
This study confirms that bone marrow‐derived cells infiltrate the CNS in animal models for stroke and Alzheimer's disease and that peripheral cells can be targeted to treat affected regions of the CNS. J. Comp. Neurol., 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Using a myeloablative chemotherapy regimen, the authors have investigated the capacity of bone marrow derived cells to enter into the central nervous system. These cells migrated specifically to sites of injuries in models of stroke and Alzheimer's disease but did not repopulate the entire parenchyma.
