摘要

背景:缺血性脑卒中是世界范围内死亡和残疾的主要原因,但外周和中枢免疫反应之间的相互作用仍然只是部分了解。新出现的证据表明,当髓样细胞在外周被激活时,可渗入缺血脑,并通过炎症和代谢机制破坏血脑屏障(BBB)。方法:在本研究中,我们整合了来自人和小鼠缺血性卒中模型的大量rna测序(RNA-seq)、单细胞rna测序(scRNA-seq)、空间转录组学和流式细胞术数据。采用短暂性大脑中动脉闭塞(tMCAO)诱导小鼠脑卒中模型,并在指定时间点采集脑组织进行分析。我们检查了外周血中随时间变化的转录变化,通过单细胞谱描绘了细胞类型特异性反应,并验证了髓细胞浸润到缺血性脑。我们还通过结合scMetabolism分析(用于推断单细胞水平代谢途径活性的计算R包)和体外氧-葡萄糖剥夺/再灌注(OGD/R)实验,研究了内皮代谢重编程和氧化应激。结果:跨物种大量RNA-seq显示,在中风后3小时出现适度的早期免疫转移,24小时显著升级,在人类和小鼠中保留了强大的髓中心基因特征。单细胞分析证实外周血中中性粒细胞、单核细胞和巨核细胞明显增加,同时T淋巴细胞和B淋巴细胞减少。空间转录组学和流式细胞术显示CD11b+髓样细胞大量浸润到梗死核心,并与内皮细胞广泛相互作用。内皮细胞scRNA-seq数据显示氧化磷酸化、谷胱甘肽和烟酸代谢途径减少,同时戊糖磷酸途径活性升高,提示氧化应激和抗氧化能力受损。功能评分进一步表明内皮细胞炎症/修复潜力降低,而体外OGD/R实验显示形态学破坏,CD31下调,4-羟基壬烯醛(4-HNE)增加,强调内皮细胞氧化损伤在血脑屏障分解中的重要性。结论:这些多组学研究结果强调了在缺血性卒中中存在一个协调的外周-中枢免疫轴,其中骨髓细胞募集和内皮代谢易损共同加剧了炎症和氧化应激。靶向内皮氧化损伤和髓-内皮串音可能是减轻缺血性脑卒中继发性脑损伤的一种有前途的策略。

Cross-Species Multi-Omics Analysis Reveals Myeloid-Driven Endothelial Oxidative Stress in Ischemic Stroke.

Background: Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, yet the interplay between peripheral and central immune responses is still only partially understood. Emerging evidence suggests that myeloid cells, when activated in the periphery, infiltrate the ischemic brain and contribute to the disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) through both inflammatory and metabolic mechanisms.

Methods: In this study, we integrated bulk RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq), spatial transcriptomics, and flow cytometry data from human and mouse models of ischemic stroke. Mouse stroke models were induced by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO), and brain tissues were later collected at specified time points for analysis. We examined time-dependent transcriptional changes in the peripheral blood, delineated cell-type-specific responses by single-cell profiling, and validated myeloid infiltration into the ischemic brain. We also investigated endothelial metabolic reprogramming and oxidative stress by combining scMetabolism analyses (a computational R package for inferring metabolic pathway activity at the single-cell level) with in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) experiments.

Results: Cross-species bulk RNA-seq revealed a modest early immune shift at 3 h post-stroke, escalating significantly by 24 h, with robust myeloid-centric gene signatures conserved in humans and mice. Single-cell analyses confirmed a pronounced expansion of neutrophils, monocytes, and megakaryocytes in peripheral blood, coupled with a decrease in T and B lymphocytes. Spatial transcriptomics and flow cytometry demonstrated substantial infiltration of CD11b+ myeloid cells into the infarct core, which showed extensive interaction with endothelial cells. Endothelial scRNA-seq data showed reductions in the oxidative phosphorylation, glutathione, and nicotinate metabolic pathways, together with elevated pentose phosphate pathway activity, suggestive of oxidative stress and compromised antioxidant capacity. Functional scoring further indicated diminished endothelial inflammation/repair potential, while in vitro OGD/R experiments revealed morphological disruption, CD31 downregulation, and increased 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), underscoring the importance of endothelial oxidative damage in BBB breakdown.

Conclusions: These multi-omics findings highlight the existence of a coordinated peripheral-central immune axis in ischemic stroke, wherein myeloid cell recruitment and endothelial metabolic vulnerability jointly exacerbate inflammation and oxidative stress. The targeting of endothelial oxidative injury and myeloid-endothelial crosstalk may represent a promising strategy to mitigate secondary brain injury in ischemic stroke.
