DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Diabetes mellitus (DM) leads to a 3-4 fold higher risk of experiencing ischemic stroke. In addition, DM stroke patients are more prone to develop more and earlier white matter (WM) high-intensity lesions than non DM stroke patients. Treatment of stroke with tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) at 2-3 hours after stroke decreases lesion volume in non-DM rats. However, tPA does not reduce lesion volume nor improve functional outcome, but increases the incidence of brain hemorrhage and blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage in the ischemic brain of DM rats. In addition, treatment of stroke with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) improves functional outcome in wild-type (WT)-stroke rats but not in DM-stroke rats. Therefore, effective therapy of stroke in the non-DM population may not necessarily transfer to the DM population, prompting the need to develop therapeutic approaches specifically designed to reduce neurological deficits after stroke in the DM population. Human umbilical cord blood cells (HUCBCs) are less mature than bone marrow and can be successfully used even when there is only a half-match. We found that treatment of stroke with HUCBCs starting at 1 or 3 days after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) improves recovery of neurological function in DM rats. In a novel and clinically relevant approach, based on our robust preliminary data, we therefore, propose to use HUCBCs for the treatment of stroke in the type two DM (T2DM) rats. The following specific aims and associated hypotheses will develop HUCBC as a safe and novel neurorestorative therapy which improves neurological function and reduces WM dysfunction and vascular damage in T2DM rats subjected to MCAo. In Aim 1 will investigate the safety and therapeutic effect of treatment of stroke in T2DM rats with HUCBCs. In addition, we will test the therapeutic effect of combination of HUCBC with tPA in T2DM rats; we will identify any potential adverse effects of tPA on HUCBCs and determine whether HUCBC treatment attenuates tPA induced adverse effects in T2DM rats. In Aim 2, we will elucidate the neurorestorative effect of HUCBC on WM remodeling after stroke in T2DM rats. HUCBCs have great commercialization potential as therapeutic agents, since they are readily available and easy to isolate without serious ethical and technical problems. HUCBCs can be used for autologous transplantation or allogeneic transplantation, when and if needed. The potential therapeutic impact of HUCBC on recovery on neurological function after stroke in the diabetic brain and the corresponding remodeling of the ischemic brain in DM rats opens enormous possibilities. This proposal is highly clinically relevant and if successful, will significantly impact the treatment of diabetic and possibly all stroke patients.

描述（由申请人提供）：糖尿病（DM）导致3-4倍出现缺血性中风的风险。此外，与非DM中风患者相比，DM中风患者更容易发生更多和更早的白质（WM）高强度病变。中风后2-3小时用组织纤溶酶原激活剂（RTPA）治疗中风的病变体积减少了非DM大鼠的病变体积。但是，TPA不会减少病变量也不改善功能结果，而是增加了DM大鼠缺血性大脑中脑出血和血脑屏障（BBB）的发生率。此外，用骨髓基质细胞（BMSC）治疗中风可改善野生型（WT）中风大鼠的功能结果，但在DM-STROKE大鼠中不改善。因此，非DM人群中卒中的有效治疗可能不一定会转移到DM人群中，从而促使需要开发专门设计的治疗方法，以减少DM人群中卒中后的神经缺陷。人脐带血细胞（HUCBC）的成熟程度不如骨髓成熟，即使只有半匹配也可以成功使用。我们发现，在大脑中动脉闭塞（MCAO）后1或3天开始，用HUCBC治疗中风可以改善DM大鼠神经功能的恢复。因此，在一种新颖且与临床相关的方法中，基于我们强大的初步数据，我们建议使用HUCBC在2型DM（T2DM）大鼠中使用中风治疗。以下特定目的和相关的假设将发展为安全和新颖的神经训练疗法，可改善神经功能，并减少受MCAO的T2DM大鼠的WM功能障碍和血管损伤。在AIM 1中，将研究用HUCBCS的T2DM大鼠中风治疗的安全性和治疗作用。此外，我们将测试HUCBC与T2DM大鼠TPA组合的治疗作用；我们将确定TPA对HUCBC的任何潜在不利影响，并确定HUCBC治疗是否减弱TPA诱导T2DM大鼠的不良反应。在AIM 2中，我们将阐明HUCBC在T2DM大鼠中卒中后HUCBC对WM重塑的神经学习作用。 HUCBC作为治疗剂具有巨大的商业化潜力，因为它们很容易获得并且易于分离而没有严重的道德和技术问题。 HUCBC可用于自体移植或同种异体移植。 HUCBC对糖尿病大脑中风后的神经功能的恢复的潜在治疗影响以及DM大鼠缺血性脑的相应重塑带来了巨大的可能性。该建议在临床上具有很高的相关性，如果成功，将显着影响糖尿病和所有中风患者的治疗。
