The purpose of this study was to develop a novel MRI method for imaging clot lysis in a rat embolic stroke model, and to compare tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) based clot lysis with and without recombinant Annexin-2 (rA2). Experiment 1: In vitro optimization of clot visualization using multiple MRI contrast agents in concentrations ranging from 5 to 50μL in 250μL blood. Experiment 2: In vivo characterization of the time course of clot lysis using the clot developed in the previous experiment. Diffusion, perfusion, angiography, and T1-weighted MRI for clot imaging were conducted prior to and during treatment with vehicle (n=6), tPA (n=8) or rA2+tPA (n=8) at multiple time-points. Brains were removed for ex vivo clot localization. Clots created with 25μL Magnevist© were the most stable and provided the highest contrast-to-noise ratio. In the vehicle group, clot length as assessed by T1-weighted imaging correlated with histology (r=0.93). Clot length and CBF-derived ischemic lesion volume were significantly smaller than vehicle at 15 minutes post-treatment initiation in the rA2+tPA group, while in the tPA group no significant reduction from vehicle was observed until 30 minutes post-treatment initiation. The rA2+tPA group had a significantly shorter clot length than the tPA group at 60 and 90 minutes post-treatment initiation, and significantly smaller CBF deficit than the tPA group at 90 minutes post-treatment initiation. We introduce a novel MRI based clot imaging method for in vivo monitoring of clot lysis. Lytic efficacy of tPA was enhanced by rA2.
