Abstract

The inflammatory, reparative and regenerative mechanisms activated in ischemic stroke patients immediately after the event cooperate in the response to injury, in the restoration of functions and in brain remodeling even weeks after the event and can be sustained by the rehabilitation treatment. Nonetheless, patients’ response to treatments is difficult to predict because of the lack of specific measurable markers of recovery, which could be complementary to clinical scales in the evaluation of patients. Considering that Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) are carriers of multiple molecules involved in the response to stroke injury, in the present study, we have identified a panel of EV-associated molecules that (i) confirm the crucial involvement of EVs in the processes that follow ischemic stroke, (ii) could possibly profile ischemic stroke patients at the beginning of the rehabilitation program, (iii) could be used in predicting patients’ response to treatment. By means of a multiplexing Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging biosensor, subacute ischemic stroke patients were proven to have increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and translocator protein (TSPO) on the surface of small EVs in blood. Besides, microglia EVs and endothelial EVs were shown to be significantly involved in the intercellular communications that occur more than 10 days after ischemic stroke, thus being potential tools for the profiling of patients in the subacute phase after ischemic stroke and in the prediction of their recovery.
