Abstract | Objectives: Numerous studies have shown that an enriched environment can promote ischemic stroke and improve cognitive function. In addition, white matter is closely related to cognitive function. The effects and mechanisms of the enriched environment on white matter recovery after stroke have not been elucidated. This study will analyse the effects of the enriched environment on white matter and cognitive function in the post-stroke brain from the perspective of astrocytes and their secretions. Methods: Stroke models were used for middle cerebral artery occlusion model. post-operative rats were divided into sham-operated, standard and enriched environment groups. The degree of cerebral infarction was assessed by TTC staining and the degree of white matter damage was assessed by Luxol-Fast Blue staining. The prognosis after stroke was assessed using the longa score and Morris water maze test. Western Blot and immunofluorescence were used to quantify and localize astrocytes and their associated secretory factors and myelin protein markers. Results: We found that ischemic stroke can cause severe demyelination. After EE treatment, there was a significant increase in cerebral remyelination and a significant improvement in neurological and cognitive functions. Astrocyte, BDNF, and VEGF expression were significantly higher than in rats in the standard circumstances of stroke model. Conclusion: These data suggest that the enriched environment contributes to brain white matter recovery and improvement of cognitive function after stroke. The mechanism is related to astrocytes and their secretions. EE can activate astrocytes to secrete BDNF and VEGF, which may be crucial to promote white matter recovery. |
