While chemokines have been implicated in cardiovascular diseases, few studies have addressed the role of these inflammatory mediators in ischemic stroke. This study tested the hypothesis that RANTES (CCL5; regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted) mediates the cerebral microvascular dysfunction, inflammation and tissue injury induced by brain ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). Following 60 minute middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO/R), the adhesion of leukocytes and platelets in cerebral venules, infarct volume and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability were measured in wild type mice (WT), RANTES-deficient mice (RANTES−/−), WT mice transplanted with RANTES−/− bone marrow (RANTES>WT) and control bone marrow chimeras (WT>WT). The concentration of RANTES and several cytokines was also measured by ELISA and a cytometric bead array. The enhanced leukocyte and platelet adhesion, increased BBB permeability, and tissue infarction elicited in WT and WT>WT mice after MCAO/R were significantly blunted in RANTES−/− mice. Similar attenuation of the MCAO/R-induced responses were noted in RANTES>WT chimeras. While RANTES deficiency did not alter the changes in tissue cytokine levels elicited by MCAO/R, plasma concentrations IL-6, IL-10 and IL-12 were all reduced. These findings implicate blood cell-derived RANTES in the microvascular, inflammatory and tissue injury responses of the brain to ischemia and reperfusion.
