Abstract
BACKGROUND:Cerebral ischemic stroke can induce the proliferation of subventricular zone (SVZ) neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult brain. However, this reparative process is restricted because of NSCs' death shortly after injury or disability of them to reach the infarct boundary. In the present study, we investigated the ability of cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) on the attraction of SVZ-resident NSCs toward the lesioned area and neurological recovery in a photothrombotic (PT) stroke model of mice METHODS: The mice were assigned to three groups stroke, stroke+phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and stroke+CDNF. Migration of SVZ NSCs were evaluated by BrdU/doublecortin (DCX) double immunofluorescence method on days 7 and 14 and their differentiation were evaluated by BrdU/ Neuronal Nuclei (NeuN) double immunofluorescence method 28 days after intra-SVZ CDNF injection. Serial coronal sections were stained with cresyl violet to detect the infarct volume and a modified neurological severity score (mNSS) was performed to assess the neurological performance RESULTS: Injection of CDNF increased the proliferation of SVZ NSCs and the number of DCX-expressing neuroblasts migrated from the SVZ toward the ischemic site. It also enhanced the differentiation of migrated neuroblasts into the mature neurons in the lesioned site. Along with this, the infarct volume was significantly decreased and the neurological performance was improved as compared to other groups CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate that CDNF is capable of enhancing the proliferation of NSCs residing in the SVZ and their migration toward the ischemia region and finally, differentiation of them in stroke mice, concomitantly decreased infarct volume and improved neurological abilities were revealed.
