Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability, with a lack
of treatments available to prevent cell death, regenerate damaged cells
and pathways, or promote neurogenesis. The extended period of hours to
weeks over which tissue damage continues to occur makes this disorder a
candidate for gene therapy. This review highlights the development of
gene therapy in the area of stroke, with the evolution of viral
administration, in experimental stroke models, from pre-injury to
clinically relevant timeframes of hours to days post-stroke.
The
putative therapeutic proteins being examined include anti-apoptotic,
pro-survival, anti-inflammatory, and guidance proteins, targeting
multiple pathways within the complex pathology, with promising results.
The balance of findings from animal models suggests that gene therapy
provides a viable translational platform for treatment of ischaemic
brain injury arising from stroke.
