Abstract

Rat transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) model is one of the most commonly used animal models in ischemic stroke studies. In the model, increasing safety and efficacy of therapeutic agent administration, such as stem cells and drugs directly to the ischemic brain using the internal carotid artery (ICA) is essential, because using the common carotid artery (CCA) for injection can close CCA completely and cause many complications after tMCAO surgery. Also, the pterygopalatine artery (PPA) is an arterial branch of the ICA that supplies blood circulation of the external part of the brain and removing the blood circulation of the PPA is required for more complete induction of ischemia to the brain. Herein, we present the insertion of intra-arterial catheter in the ICA via the external carotid artery (ECA) after the PPA in rats subjected to tMCAO surgery.

Background

Rat ischemic stroke models have been used substantially to evaluate the benefit of therapeutic agents and stem cells and to study the underlying mechanisms (Rousselet et al., 2012; Azedi et al., 2017). Since ischemic stroke in patients is mostly caused by the occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), intraluminal suture middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) has become the most commonly used models in the investigation of stroke in rodents such as rat and mice (Longa et al., 1989; Wang-Fischer, 2008; Tajiri et al., 2013; Fluri et al., 2015).

Method of intra-arterial delivery in stroke treatment is used in various studies and shows high safety and efficacy (Cloft et al., 2009; Chua et al., 2011; Crumrine et al., 2011; Azedi et al., 2019). In fact, Stem cells or drugs can be injected into the internal carotid artery (ICA) via common carotid artery (CCA) for targeted delivery into the reperfused brain tissue (Li et al., 2010; Misra et al., 2012; Du et al., 2014). However, after cutting the CCA for any interventions or injections, it has to be closed completely; or many complications for the animal, like increasing the mortality rate, can occur. Also, because the pterygopalatine artery (PPA) is a branch of the ICA, blood or any drug solutions will shunt into the PPA supplied region during any injection to the ICA and the efficacy of treatment may be reduced. Therefore, most researchers occluded the PPA when they performed intra-arterial injection (Guo et al., 2013); however, because of deep location and poor access to this artery, ligation of the PPA is very hard and often causes complications (Chen et al., 2008). In this protocol, we describe a simple method for intra-arterial injection to the ICA via external carotid artery (ECA) to the ischemic brain without manipulating the PPA after tMCAO surgery. You can see a schematic view of this procedure in Figure 1.
