Project Summary
In women, menopause significantly increases the risk for stroke and heart disease. Using acyclic middle-aged
female rats to model the estrogen-deficient postmenopausal state, we found that ischemic stroke produced
larger brain infarcts in this population as compared to normally cycling adult females. Furthermore, while
estrogen treatment is protective to young females, hormone treatment paradoxically increased tissue damage
in older acyclic females. These data are congruent with the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study, where the
risk for stroke was elevated in older women receiving hormone therapy, and underscores the need for novel
therapeutic approaches for this group.
We began to address the need for effective stroke therapies in an older female population during the previous
funding period and reported that Insulin like growth factor (IGF)-1 reverses the neurotoxic effects of estrogen
on stroke when given to estrogen-treated middle-aged females. Furthermore, IGF-1 also improves stroke
outcomes when given to estrogen-deficient, acyclic middle-aged female rats. Extrapolated to the clinical
setting, these findings raise the exciting possibility that acute, post-ischemic IGF-1 treatment could alleviate
stroke-induced neuronal loss in older women who are non-users or current users of hormone therapy. To
exploit the translational potential of this line of research, this renewal application will focus on a novel
mechanism of action for IGF-1 and, more importantly, test the ability of this hormone and microRNAs that
regulate IGF-1 pathways to improve both short- and long-term stroke outcomes.
In this proposal, we will use novel experimental approaches to test the hypothesis that IGF-1 treatment after
stroke reduces ischemia-induced hyper-permeability of the blood brain barrier (BBB) by stabilizing the
morphology of endothelial cells (Specific Aim 1);; that astrocyte-derived IGF-1 maintains BBB integrity after
stroke (Specific Aim 2), and finally, to determine whether IGF-1-mediated neuroprotection in the acute phase of
stroke preserves striatal inputs from midbrain dopaminergic neurons that mediate motor function and affective
behaviors (Specific Aim 3).
In the aftermath of the WHI study, there is a significant and pressing need to find new ways to protect older,
post-menopausal women from disability due to ischemic stroke. Collectively these studies will identify cellular
targets, such as astrocytes, that increase stroke susceptibility in aging populations, with the goal of deploying
hormonal and epigenetic therapies with surgical precision. These studies are therefore expected to form the
foundation for stroke therapy tailored to older women.
