Oligodendrogenesis is essential for white matter repair after stroke. Although agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors γ (PPAR-γ) confer neuroprotection in models of cerebral ischemia, it is not known whether this effect extends to white matter protection. This study tested the hypothesis that the PPAR-γ agonist rosiglitazone enhances oligodendrogenesis and improves long-term white matter integrity after ischemia/reperfusion. Male adult C57/BL6 mice (25-30g) were subjected to 60 minutes middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and reperfusion. Rosiglitazone (3mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally once daily for 14d beginning 2 hours after reperfusion. Sensorimotor and cognitive functions were evaluated up to 21d after MCAO. Immunostaining was used to assess infarct volume, myelin loss, and microglial activation. Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was injected for measurements of proliferating NG2+ oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and newly generated APC+ oligodendrocytes. Mixed glial cultures were used to confirm the effect of rosiglitazone on oligodendrocyte differentiation and microglial polarization. Rosiglitazone significantly reduced brain tissue loss, ameliorated white matter injury, and improved sensorimotor and cognitive functions for at least 21d after MCAO. Rosiglitazone enhanced OPC proliferation and increased the numbers of newly generated mature oligodendrocytes after MCAO. Rosiglitazone treatment also reduced the numbers of Iba1+/CD16+ M1 microglia and increased the numbers of Iba1+/CD206+ M2 microglia after stroke. Glial culture experiments confirmed that rosiglitazone promoted oligodendrocyte differentiation, perhaps by promoting microglial M2 polarization. Rosiglitazone treatment improves long-term white matter integrity after cerebral ischemia, at least in part by promoting oligodendrogenesis and facilitating microglial polarization toward the beneficial M2 phenotype.
