Abstract
Stroke
is a leading cause of mortality and severe long-term disability
worldwide. Development of effective treatment or new therapeutic
strategies for ischemic stroke patients is therefore crucial. Ischemic
stroke promotes neurogenesis by several growth factors including FGF-2,
IGF-1, BDNF, VEGF and chemokines including SDF-1, MCP-1. Stroke-induced
angiogenesis is similarly regulated by many factors most notably, eNOS
and CSE, VEGF/VEGFR2, and Ang-1/Tie2. Important findings in the last
decade have revealed that neurogenesis is not the stand-alone
consideration in the fight for full functional recovery from stroke.
Angiogenesis has been also shown to be critical in improving post-stroke
neurological functional recovery. More than that, recent evidence has
shown a highly possible interplay or dependence between stroke-induced
neurogenesis and angiogenesis. Moving forward, elucidating the
underlying mechanisms of this coupling between stroke-induced
neurogenesis and angiogenesis will be of great importance, which will
provide the basis for neurorestorative therapy.
