Abstract
Background
Alteplase is a widely used thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, the efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with alteplase varies due to individual factors, and some patients are prone to embolization recurrence (ER) after IVT. The mechanisms underlying these variations are not fully understood.
Methods
In this study, we analyzed changes in plasma lipid profiles of AIS patients treated with alteplase based on lipidomics, focusing on the association between plasma lipids changes and embolization recurrence.
Results
Our findings revealed significant changes in several lipid species in patients who experienced ER, including triglycerides (TG), diglycerides (DG), phosphatidylcholine (PC), and sphingomyelin (SM). Notably, most TG and DG levels in ER group were significantly upregulated, PC and SM levels were downregulated. However, most PC was upregulated 24 h after IVT treatment, while DG, SM, TG remained downregulated. These differential lipid metabolites are mainly involved in lipid metabolism, immune response inflammation-related, and insulin resistance signaling pathways.
Conclusion
This study demonstrates that lipid alterations, particularly in TG, DG, PC, and SM, may be associated with ER after alteplase treatment. However, further studies are needed to elucidate the exact mechanisms through which these lipids influence the onset and recovery of AIS.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases publishes original papers on basic and clinical science related to the fields of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. The Journal also features review articles, controversies, methods and technical notes, selected case reports and other original articles of special nature. Its editorial mission is to focus on prevention and repair of cerebrovascular disease. Clinical papers emphasize medical and surgical aspects of stroke, clinical trials and design, epidemiology, stroke care delivery systems and outcomes, imaging sciences and rehabilitation of stroke. The Journal will be of special interest to specialists involved in caring for patients with cerebrovascular disease, including neurologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists.
