Background: Tibia fracture (BF) before stroke shortly causes long-term post-stroke memory dysfunction in mice. The mechanism is unclear. We hypothesize that BF enhances neuroinflammation and blood brain barrier (BBB) breakdown in the hippocampus and white matter (WM) damage. Methods: Mice were assigned to groups: BF, stroke, BF+stroke (BF 6 h before stroke) and sham. BBB integrity was analyzed 3 days after the surgeries and WM injury was analyzed 3 days and 8 weeks after the surgeries. Results: Stroke and BF+stroke groups had more activated microglia/macrophages and lower levels of claudin-5 in the ipsilateral hippocampi than the BF group. BF+stroke group had the highest number microglia/macrophages and the lowest level of claudin-5 among all groups and had fewer pericytes than BF group. Stroke and BF+stroke groups had smaller WM areas in the ipsilateral basal ganglia than the sham group 8 weeks after the injuries. The BF+stroke group also had smaller WM areas in the ipsilateral than sham and BF groups 3 days after the injuries and in the contralateral basal ganglia than stroke and BF groups 8 weeks after the injuries. Conclusions: BF exacerbates neuroinflammation and BBB leakage in the hippocampus and WM damage in basal ganglia, which could contribute to the long-lasting memory dysfunction in BF+stroke mice.
