Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major comorbidity that exacerbates ischemic brain injury and worsens functional outcome after stroke. T2DM is known to aggravate white matter impairment but the underlying mechanism is not completely understood. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that T2DM impedes post-stroke white matter recovery by suppressing both oligodendrogenesis and beneficial microglia/macrophage responses. Permanent distal middle cerebral artery occlusion was performed in wild-type, homozygous diabetic db/db, and heterozygous db/+ mice. The adhesive removal, open field, and Morris water maze tests were used to assess neurobehavioral outcomes. Neuronal tissue loss, white matter damage, oligodendrogenesis, and microglia/macrophage responses were evaluated up to 35d after stroke. The functional integrity of white matter was measured by electrophysiology. Primary microglia-oligodendrocyte co-cultures were used for additional mechanistic studies. T2DM exacerbated structural damage and impaired conduction of compound action potentials in white matter 35d after stroke. The deterioration in white matter integrity correlated with poor sensorimotor performance. Furthermore, T2DM impaired the proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and the generation of new myelinating oligodendrocytes. T2DM also promoted a shift of microglia/macrophage phenotype toward the pro-inflammatory modality. Co-culture studies confirmed that microglia/macrophage polarization toward the pro-inflammatory phenotype under high glucose conditions suppressed OPC differentiation. Deterioration of white matter integrity and impairments in oligodendrogenesis after stroke are associated with poor long-term functional outcomes in experimental diabetes mellitus. High glucose concentrations may shift microglia/macrophage polarization toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype, significantly impairing OPC differentiation and white matter repair.
