XQ-1H promotes cerebral angiogenesis via activating PI3K/Akt/GSK3/-catenin/VEGF signal in mice exposed to cerebral ischemic injury
Life Sciences(2021)
摘要
Stroke still ranks as a most lethal disease worldwide. Angiogenesis during the chronic phase of ischemic stroke can alleviate ischemic injury and attenuate neurological deficit. XQ-1H is a new compound derived from the structure modification of ginkgolide B, which exerts anti-inflammation and neuroprotection against cerebral ischemic injury during the acute or subacute phase. However, whether XQ-1H facilitates angiogenesis and neural functional recovery during the chronic phase remains unclear. This research was designed to explore whether XQ-1H promotes angiogenesis after ischemic stroke and to preliminarily elucidate the mechanism. In vitro, XQ-1H was found to facilitate proliferation, migration and tube formation in bEnd.3 cells. In vivo, XQ-1H raised the CD31 positive microvessel number and increased focal cerebral blood flow in mice exposed to cerebral ischemic injury, and improved the neurological function. Mechanism studies revealed that XQ-1H exerted angiogenesis promoting effect via the PI3K/Akt/GSK3 beta/beta-catenin/VEGF signal pathway, which was reversed by LY294002 (the specific inhibitor of PI3K/Akt). In conclusion, XQ-1H exerts angiogenetic effect both in vivo and in vitro, which is a potential agent against ischemic stroke during chronic phase.
