Abstract
The influence of toll-like receptor 4 on neurogenesis and inflammation has been scarcely explored so far by using neuroimaging techniques. For this purpose, we performed magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography with 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine and [11C]PK11195 at 2, 7, and 14 days following cerebral ischemia in TLR4+/+ and TLR4-/-mice. MRI showed similar infarction volumes in both groups. Despite this, positron emission tomography with 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine and [11C]PK11195 evidenced an increase of neurogenesis and a decrease of inflammation in TLR4-/- mice after ischemia. These results evidence the versatility of neuroimaging techniques to monitor the role of toll-like receptor 4 after cerebral ischemia.
