Endostatin (ES) has been recognized as a potent anti-angiogenic factor We here investigated the expression of ES in ischemic brain and the consequence of cells expressing ES after stroke in adult stroke-prone renovascular hypertensive rats A single dose of Ca-074ME, a membrane-permeable cathepsin B (CB) specific inhibitor, or vehicle was given by intraperitoneal injection immediately after distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAO), ES expression was evaluated using fluorescent immunohistochemistry staining, and CB enzyme activity was tested by measuring the free 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) released by CB from its' specific substrate, the Z-Arg-Arg-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin ES immunoreactivity (IR) was significantly up-regulated as early as 6 h and returned to baseline level at 3 days in pen-infarct area following dMCAO Double-staining experiment revealed that the majority of ischemia-induced ES positive cells were neurons Furthermore, ES was co-labeled with CB and Cleaved Caspase-3(Asp175) whereas treatment with Ca-074ME reduced up-regulation of ES expression and attenuated apoptosis in pen-infarct neurons Collectively, our data suggest that pen-infarct neurons express ES during the early stage of cerebral ischemia and treatment with Ca-074ME attenuates ES expression and apoptosis in pen-infarct neurons (C) 2009 Elsevier B V All rights reserved
