However, rt-PA has a short therapeutic window (4.5h after stroke onset), mainly because of the increased risk of hemorrhagic transformation from this time. Thus, only a few percentage of stroke patients will benefit from rt-PA-induced thrombolysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These last two decades, despite the efforts made to improve fibrinolysis or to develop neuroprotective drugs, all of them failed at the clinical stage. It is well admitted that experimental models of stroke are either too severe, not enough reproducible, or do not sufficiently mimic pathophysiology of the Human disease for a correct evaluation of drugs efficacy including neuroprotectants, thrombolytics alone or in combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In order to solve this problem, ESRP scientists developed a new translational model of thromboembolic stroke in mice, which overcomes several of these pitfalls. This model is now available for pharmacological studies with&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.strokalliance.com\/\"><strong>Strok@lliance<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In situ<\/em>&nbsp;thromboembolic &nbsp;stroke is induced by the injection of purified thrombin in the Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) at M1\/M2 bifurcation, modelling a&nbsp;<strong>distal thrombosis eligible for thrombolytic treatments in humans<\/strong>. It results in&nbsp;<strong>reproducible ischemic lesions <\/strong>in the somatosensory cortex (\u224820 mm<sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;; Fig. 1). Moreover, it produces a significant strength deficit of the contralateral paws, lasting up to 14 days after stroke onset thus allowing functional recovery studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.etap-lab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Fig-1-Thrombosis-stroke-model-mice.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6143\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Figure 1.

Representative lesion at 24h after stroke onset in saline-treated mice (T2* MRI).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to its&nbsp;<strong>fibrin-rich content<\/strong>, the produced clot is&nbsp;<strong>sensitive to rt-PA induced thrombolysis<\/strong>. A retrospective data analysis from 26 preclinical studies performed with this model in 9 independent academic laboratories allowed to estimate&nbsp;<strong>the therapeutic windows of rt-PA<\/strong>&nbsp;on cerebral lesion volume. When started early after stroke onset, i.e. less than 40 min post-stroke,&nbsp;rt-PA treatment induces a reproducible reduction of the cerebral injury; treatment starting later than 90 min had no or deleterious effects. This study also confirmed&nbsp;<strong>the intra- and inter-laboratory reproducibility<\/strong>&nbsp;of this model (Fig. 2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thus, this model reproduces key features of human pathophysiology and pharmacology, while overcoming several pitfalls of classical models.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.etap-lab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Fig-2-Thrombosis-stroke-model-in-mice.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6144\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Figure 2.<\/strong> <strong>Effects<\/strong> <strong>of rt-PA i.v. perfused at 10 mg\/kg when administered 30 min or 4 hours after stroke onset on: A. infarct volume and B.
