Therapeutic effects of early insulin glycemic control for post-stroke hyperglycemia in combination with tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) thrombolytic therapy has not yet been studied but is of great clinical interest. In this study we tested the effects of insulin plus tPA combination in a model of focal embolic stroke in type I diabetic rats. STZ was used to produce Type I diabetes in male Wistar rats for 6 weeks then embolic focal strokes were induced. All rats were treated with insulin or saline at 1 h followed by tPA or saline at 1.5 h after stroke. Mortality, infarction, hemispheric swelling, hemorrhagic transformation and perfusion defects were examined at 24 hours after stroke. Total plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) antigen and activity levels were measured at before stroke, 1.5, 3 and 6 hours after stroke by ELISA assays. Early insulin glycemic control alone or tPA thrombolysis alone had no significant effects on ischemic infarction. However, early insulin glycemic control combined with tPA significantly reduced brain infarction and swelling , ameliorated tPA-associated hemorrhagic transformation, and improved plasma perfusion at 24 hours after stroke. We also found the combination significantly decreased plasma PAI-1 antigen level at 6 hours, and PAI-1 activity at 1.5 hours and 6 hours after stroke. Early insulin glycemic control may be beneficial in combination with tPA thrombolysis for ischemic stroke with diabetes mellitus or post-stroke hyperglycemia.
