Permanent Distal Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion with Hypoxia
Objective: Induce ischemic stroke in mice through permanent distal middle cerebral artery occlusion combined with hypoxia, and evaluate neurological deficits, angiogenesis, neural plasticity, microglial polarization, and inflammatory responses
This is a Permanent Distal Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion with Hypoxia protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 7 procedural steps, 1 materials. Extracted from a 2019 paper published in Journal of Neuroinflammation.

Ischemic stroke induction
Induce ischemic stroke in mice using permanent distal middle cerebral artery occlusion combined with hypoxia exposure
Note: Procedure involves permanent distal MCAO with concurrent hypoxia
View evidence from paper
“Ischemic stroke mice model was induced by permanent distal middle cerebral artery occlusion plus 1 h hypoxia”
TWS119 administration
Administer TWS119 to stroke-induced mice
Note: Treatment period spans 14 days following stroke induction
View evidence from paper
“TWS119 was administrated from day 1 to 14 after stroke”
Neurological deficit monitoring
Monitor and assess neurological deficits in stroke-induced mice
Note: Continuous monitoring period extends beyond treatment period
View evidence from paper
“Neurological deficits were monitored up to 21 days after stroke”
Tissue analysis at day 14
Collect and analyze peri-infarct cortex tissue for angiogenesis, neural plasticity, microglial polarization, and microglia-associated inflammatory cytokines
Note: First timepoint for molecular analysis
View evidence from paper
“Angiogenesis, neural plasticity, microglial polarization, and microglia-associated inflammatory cytokines were detected in the peri-infarct cortex at days 14 and 21 after stroke”
Tissue analysis at day 21
Collect and analyze peri-infarct cortex tissue for angiogenesis, neural plasticity, microglial polarization, and microglia-associated inflammatory cytokines
Note: Second timepoint for molecular analysis
