Vascular endothelial growth factor-B (VEGF-B) protects against experimental stroke, but the effect of stroke on VEGF-B expression is uncertain.
We examined VEGF-B expression by immunohistochemistry in the ischemic border zone 1-7 days after middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats.
VEGF-B immunoreactivity in the border zone was increased after middle cerebral artery occlusion and was associated with neurons and macrophages/microglia, but not astrocytes or endothelial cells.
These findings provide additional evidence for a role of VEGF-B in the endogenous response to cerebral ischemia.
血管内皮生长因子-B(VEGF-B)可预防实验性中风,但中风对VEGF-B表达的影响尚不确定。
我们通过免疫组织化学检测了大鼠大脑中动脉闭塞后1-7天缺血边缘区的VEGF-B表达。
大脑中动脉闭塞后,边缘区的VEGF-B免疫反应性增加,且与神经元和巨噬细胞/小胶质细胞有关,而与星形胶质细胞或内皮细胞无关。
这些发现为VEGF-B在脑缺血内源性反应中的作用提供了额外证据。
