Purpose: Forced limb-use can enhance neurogenesis and behavioral recovery as well as increasing the level of stromal.cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) in stroke rats. We examined whether the SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway is involved in the enhanced.neurogenesis and promoted behavioral recovery induced by forced limb-use in the chronic phase of stroke..Methods: The CXCR4 antagonist, AMD3100, was used to block the SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway in the ischemic rats. Brain.ischemia was induced by endothelin-1. One week after ischemia, the unimpaired forelimb of rats was immobilized for 3 weeks..The proliferation, migration, and survival of DCX-positive cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ), and the dendritic complexity.of DCX-positive cells in the dentate gyrus (DG), as well as the inflammatory response in the infarcted striatum were analyzed.by immunohistochemistry. Functional recovery was assessed in beam-walking and water maze tests..Results: Forced limb-use enhanced the proliferation, migration, dendritic complexity and the survival of newborn neurons..Furthermore, forced limb-use suppressed the inflammatory response and improved both motor and cognitive functions after.stroke. AMD3100 significantly abrogated the enhanced neurogenesis and behavioral recovery induced by forced limb-use.without influencing the inflammatory response..Conclusions: SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway seems to be involved in the enhancement of neurogenesis and behavioral recovery induced.by post-stroke forced limb-use.
