Forskningsbeskrivning

  • *TYPE 2 DIABETES AND STROKE*
    Prevalence of type 2 diabetes and its complications is rapidly rising
    worldwide. One of the major complications of diabetes is cardiovascular
    disease that often leads to a stroke. Diabetes not only doubles the risk of
    stroke, but also significantly impairs post-stroke recovery, often leading to
    lasting disabilities.
    The main subject of my research is the identification of the
    pathophysiological mechanisms by which diabetes impairs stroke recovery and
    the development of treatment strategies based on lifestyle and
    pharmacological interventions. This research and development effort is
    conducted in close collaboration with academic, clinical and industrial
    partners and involves both clinical and preclinical settings.
    Our group is also actively investigating the role of diabetes in other
    neurological complications that are overrepresented in the diabetic
    population, such as Parkinson’s disease, cognitive decline and dementias.
    *RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS*
    * In a nationwide cohort study [1], our group demonstrated the link between
    insulin resistance (IR) and increased stroke risk and mortality in type 2
    diabetes (T2D), highlighting the need of novel therapeutics beyond simple
    glycaemic control. In following studies, using experimental T2D, IR and
    stroke models we showed that the IR is detrimental for stroke recovery and
    reversing it pre-stroke by lifestyle [2] or pharmacological
    [3] interventions leads to improved functional recovery.
    * Type 2 diabetes significantly impairs functional recovery after stroke
    [4]. However, Chronic regulation of glycaemia by DPP-4inhibitors
    [5], GLP-1R agonists [6], Sulfonylureas [7] and SGLT-2 inhibitors in
    post-acute recovery phase after stroke improves functional recovery in T2D
    in association with increased neuroplasticity and vascular remodelling.
    * T2D leads to impairments in nigrostriatal dopaminergic system along ageing
    by reducing dopamine release in striatum, potential increasing the risk of
    neurological disorders associated with impaired movement, attention,
    reward and learning (complications that are common in T2D people). This
    effect is reversed by chronic treatment with DPP-4inhibitors and
    sulfonylureas [8], showing the additional benefit of these drugs over
    standard T2D care.
    * Chronic GLP-1R agonist [9] and DPP-4 inhibitor [10] treatment reduce
    stroke-induced injury in T2D. This was the first demonstration the
    superior potential of GLP-1R agonists and DPP-4 inhibitors over standard
    T2D care as the potential strategy to in addition of treating T2D, also
    benefit T2D patients in case of stroke.
    * Human foetal neural stem cells differentiate into neurons [11] after
    grafting in stroke-damaged brain. The survival of grafted stem cells is
    better if grafted shortly after stroke. However, their capacity to migrate
    and differentiate into neurons is still conserved when grafting is
    delayed [12], indicating the potential efficacy of stem cell therapy for
    stroke even in chronic phase after stroke.
    * Stroke-induced neurogenesis persists chronically [13], in recovery phase
    after a stroke. Newly generated neuroblasts maintained directed migration
    towards injury site by stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha and its receptor
    CXCR4. During ageing [14], the neurogenic capacity of the brain in
    response to stroke is maintained despite the general reduction of basal
    neurogenesis.
