BACKGROUND: Cerebral ischemia is associated with the activation of glial cells, infiltration of leukocytes and an increase in inflammatory mediators in the ischemic brain and systemic circulation. How this inflammatory response influences lesion size and neurological outcome remains unclear. D-JNKI1, an inhibitor of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway, is strongly neuroprotective in animal models of stroke. Intriguingly, the protection mediated by D-JNKI1 is high even with intravenous administration at very low doses with undetectable drug levels in the brain, pointing to a systemic mode of action, perhaps on inflammation. FINDINGS: We evaluated whether D-JNKI1, administered intravenously 3 h after the onset of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), modulates secretion of the inflammatory mediators interleukin-6 and keratinocyte-derived chemokine in the plasma and from the spleen and brain at several time points after MCAO. We found an early release of both mediators in the systemic circulation followed by an increase in the brain and went on to show a later systemic increase in vehicle-treated mice. Release of interleukin-6 and keratinocyte-derived chemokine from the spleen of mice with MCAO was not significantly different from sham mice. Interestingly, the secretion of these inflammatory mediators was not altered in the systemic circulation or brain after successful neuroprotection with D-JNKI1. CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate that neuroprotection with D-JNKI1 after experimental cerebral ischemia is independent of systemic and brain release of interleukin-6 and keratinocyte-derived chemokine. Furthermore, our findings suggest that the early systemic release of interleukin-6 and keratinocyte-derived chemokine may not necessarily predict an unfavorable outcome in this model.

A cytochemical marker such as alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE) has been found useful for the morphological identification of the subset of T lymphocytes having receptors for Fcμ (TM cells). ANAE reaction on TM cells gives a typical pattern of one to four positive spots, whereas this pattern is not found on T cells with receptors for Fcγ (TG cells). ANAE is abundant in monocytes but not detectable in granulocytes. Herein another type of esterase activity, naphthol-AS-D chloroacetate esterase (NCAE), is described; it is known to be abundant in granulocytes and was found to give a specific pattern of reactivity with the subpopulation of large granular lymphocytes (LGL). This pattern of fine granular staining was observed not only on LGL present in the TG cell subpopulation but also in LGL present in the non-T, non-B cells. Fractions of peripheral blood mononuclear cells which were ènriched up to 80% in LGL by Percoll discontinuous density gradient gave a similar percentage of specific NCAE pattern. In addition, among the different fractions from Percoll gradient, there was a good correlation (r = 0.94) between the number of NCAE-positive cells and the natural killer activity against the natural killer susceptible K562 target cells. It will be important to determine whether or not this enzymatic activity plays a role in the cytotoxic activities of LGL.
