Kallikrein, a serine proteinase, has been identified as an angiogenic growth factor recently. We investigated whether delayed treatment with exogenous kallikrein enhances neurogenesis and angiogenesis after focal cortical infarction in stroke-prone renovascular hypertensive rats. Human tissue kallikrein (1.6 x 10(-2) PNAU/kg) or vehicle was given through a tail vein daily for 6 consecutive days starting 24 h after distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Cell proliferation was examined by using 5'-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU, 50 mg/kg). Rats were sacrificed at 3, 7, 14 or 28 d after MCAO, respectively. Treatment with kallikrein significantly increased the number of BrdU(+) cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and the peri-infarction region initiating 3 d after MCAO compared with the vehicle group (all p
