Abstract

Therapeutic angiogenesis with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a clinically promising strategy in ischaemic disease. The pathophysiological consequences of enhanced vessel formation, however, are poorly understood. We established mice overexpressing human VEGF165 under a neuron-specific promoter, which exhibited an increased density of brain vessels under physiological conditions and enhanced angiogenesis after brain ischaemia. Following transient intraluminal middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusions, VEGF overexpression significantly alleviated neurological deficits and infarct volume, and reduced disseminated neuronal injury and caspase-3 activity, confirming earlier observations that VEGF has neuroprotective properties. Brain swelling was not influenced in VEGF-overexpressing animals, while sodium fluorescein extravasation was moderately increased, suggesting that VEGF induces a mild blood-brain barrier leakage. To elucidate whether enhanced angiogenesis improves regional cerebral blood flow in the ischaemic brain, [14C]iodoantipyrine autoradiography was performed. Autoradiographies revealed that VEGF induces haemodynamic steal phenomena with reduced blood flow in ischaemic areas and increased flow values only outside the MCA territory. Our data demonstrate that VEGF protects neurons from ischaemic cell death by a direct action rather than by promoting angiogenesis, and suggest that strategies aiming at increasing vascular density in the whole brain, e.g. by VEGF overexpression, may worsen rather than improve cerebral haemodynamics after stroke.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
