Angiogenin in the Neurogenic Subventricular Zone After Stroke

Proliferation in the human ipsilateral subventricular zone after ischemic stroke

The Effect of TGF-alpha on Neurogenesis in Subventricular Zone of Rat Brain after Ischemia-Reperfusion

Introduction: Stroke is the third important reason of death in adults and an important cause of adult disability. Previous studies suggest that TGF-alpha can induce neurogenesis after stroke. Here in, we studied neurogenesis effects of the TGF-alpha on subventricular zone following ischemia-reperfusion. Male wistar rats (250-300 g) were divided into ischemia and treatment groups. After inductio...

Involvement of matrix metalloproteinase in neuroblast cell migration from the subventricular zone after stroke.

After brain injury, neuroblast cells from the subventricular zone (SVZ) expand and migrate toward damaged tissue. The mechanisms that mediate these neurogenic and migratory responses remain to be fully dissected. Here, we show that bromodeoxyuridine-labeled and doublecortin-positive cells from the SVZ colocalize with the extracellular protease matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) during the 2 wee...

Gene profiles and electrophysiology of doublecortin-expressing cells in the subventricular zone after ischemic stroke.

Stroke increases neuroblasts in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricle and these neuroblasts migrate toward the ischemic boundary to replace damaged neurons. Using brain slices from the nonischemic adult rat and transgenic mice that expressed enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) concomitantly with doublecortin (DCX), a marker for migrating neuroblasts, we recorded electroph...

Galectin-1 regulates neurogenesis in the subventricular zone and promotes functional recovery after stroke.

Galectin-1 (Gal-1) has recently been identified as a key molecule that plays important roles in the regulation of neural progenitor cell proliferation in two neurogenic regions: the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricle and the subgranular zone of the hippocampal dentate gyrus. To test the hypothesis that Gal-1 contributes to adult neurogenesis after focal ischemia, we studied the ...
