Ondes de dépression corticales envahissantes Migraine et AVC E. Grenier
Spreading depression • Ionic exchanges : reaction term • Ions diffuse in extracellular space • Ions diffuse through « gap junctions » (small holes in the membranes of cells). • Reaction diffusion equations in the center of the model • Are there travelling waves ? YES: spreading depressions • observed in various species: rat, chicken, … • observed during stroke in rats • conjectured in man during migraine with aura
Spreading depression In Rat cortex • Injection of KCl in some part of the brain • At injection point, depolarization of the cells • Depolarization propagates 2 – 4 mm / min • Recovery after depolarization • Progressive wave: depolarization wave • Two waves do not cross
Spreading depression Occurs in • Migraine with aura • Starts in visual areas • Stop at different locations, depending of the patients • Speed of a few mm / min • Strokes in rat • Created at the border of the dying area • Propagate in the penumbra • Exhausts cells in the penumbra • Final size of the dead zone is proportionnal to the number of spreading depressions which propagate. • No evidence during stroke in human.
Principaux mécanismes impliqués dans la propagation des ondes de dépolarisation de la zone infarcie vers la zone saine par un processus de diffusion des ions K+ et du glutamate dans l'espace extracellulaire et par un processus de propagation d'ondes calciques dans les astrocytes
Spreading depression: simple model • State described by a variable u(t,x) • 0 <= u <= 1: 0 normal state / 1 fully depressed state. • Evolution of u under • Diffusion • Local reaction of the tissu f(u) ∂t u – ν∂Δ u = f(u) • In grey matter: • F(u) is negative if u is small (normal state is stable) • F(u) is positive if u is large (fully depressed state is stable, up to recovery phenomena) f(u) = a u (1 – u) (u – u0) • In white matter: recovery f(u) = - b u
Spreading depression: ionic model • Introduce all extra and intracellular ionic concentrations: K+, Na+, Ca2+, Glu, Cl-, … • Extracellular ionic concentrations diffuse in extracellular space • Some species diffuse from glial cells to glial cells through gap junctions • Reaction term is given by all local ionic exchanges through voltage dependent gates, exchangers, pumps … • Very complex system ! • Still to be studied completly !
Spreading depression: ionic model Simulation of a spreading depression following Shapiro (2001)
Discussion • Topography of grey matter may explain by itself that spreading depression do not propagate in the whole brain during stroke • Topography of grey matter may explain why spreading depressions have never been observed during stroke • Should also come from experimental difficulties • Observed in vitro on small cuts of grey substance (coherent) • Big difference with Rat, where the final size of dead area is proportional to the number of spreading depressions !
Discussion • Topography of Rolando sulcus by itself may explain that spreading depressions always stop there during migraine with aura
Global models of stroke Very large models, combining • Ionic models: • Simple bistable equations • Complete ionic model of the first section • Oedema models • Blood flow • Death of cells (apoptosis / necrosis) • Programmed cell death : a kind of cell suicide • Energy management • Topography • Toxicity
Typical simulation Dead zone Spreading depressions
Spreading depressions • In Rat, spreading depressions are observed in vivo • Important in the progression of the dead core • Important to try to block them • In human, no spreading depressions are observed at large scales • Coherent with previous section • Remains to be checked numerically on the whole model • Explains failures of some therapeutics ? • Existence of spreading depressions for very small strokes ? • Stroke in young men • Trace of the propagations of spreading depressions ?
Perspectives • To complete model • Include complete ionic model • Add free radicals • Realistic 2D geometries (in progress) • Realistic 3D geometries (very challenging) • To compare with clinical cases • Basis of clinical images already set up • Numerical challenges • Very different time scales (from 1ms to 12h) • Very complex topography (already in 2D, … 3D …) • Very expensive !
