Dynamics of myelin content decrease in the rat stroke model A. Kisel, M. Khodanovich, D. Atochin [et.al.]

Contributor(s): Kisel, Alena A | Atochin, Dmitriy N | Mustafina, Lilia R | Yarnykh, Vasily L | Khodanovich, Marina YuMaterial type: ArticleArticleSubject(s): миелин | миелинизация | головной мозгGenre/Form: статьи в журналах Online resources: Click here to access online In: Journal of Physics: Conference Series Vol. 886. P. 012008 (1-4)Abstract: The majority of studies were usually focused on neuronal death after brain ischemia; however, stroke affects all cell types including oligodendrocytes that form myelin sheath in the CNS. Our study is focused on the changes of myelin content in the ischemic core and neighbor structures in early terms (1, 3 and 10 days) after stroke. Stroke was modeled with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) in 15 male rats that were divided into three groups by time points after operation. Brain sections were histologically stained with Luxol Fast Blue (LFB) for myelin quantification. The significant demyelination was found in the ischemic core, corpus callosum, anterior commissure, whereas myelin content was increased in caudoputamen, internal capsule and piriform cortex compared with the contralateral hemisphere. The motor cortex showed a significant increase of myelin content on the 1st day and a significant decrease on the 3rd and 10th days after MCAo. These results suggest that stroke influences myelination not only in the ischemic core but also in distant structures.
