Expression of VEGF protein following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats

Objective To determine if VEGF is activated in the ischemic brain, and might therefore participate in adaptive processes such as angiogenesis and neuroprotection, we examined the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in brain tissues following focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in the rat. Methods MCAO/R was induced using the filament method. The samples were analyzed with immunohistochemical methods. Results The expression of VEGF increased in every group of rats with ischemia/reperfusion injury. Prolong by ischemia/reperfusion procedure, expression of VEGF protein in endothelial cells increased evidently. Conclusions These findings demonstrate that hypoxia-sensitive vascular endothelial growth factor can be induced in neurons in focal cerebral ischemia in vivo. VEGF might participate in process of angiogenesis.
