The Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway is recapitulated in response to ischemic injury. Here, we investigated the clinical implications of Shh protein in the ischemic stroke and explored the underlying mechanism. lntracerebroventricular injection of Shh, Cyclopamine, or anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was performed immediately after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) surgery and lasted for 7 days (d). Phosphate-bufferedi saline (PBS) was used as control. Neurological deficits and infarct volume were examined 7 d after pMCAO. Microvascular density with fluorescein-iso-thio-cyanate (FITC) assay and double staining with CD31 and Ki-67 was measured at 7 d. To observe in vitro angiogenesis, rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (RBMECs) were incubated under oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) for 6 h (h) and treated with Shh/anti-VEGF. We found that (1) Shh improved neurological scores and reduced infarct volume, which was blocked by Cyclopamine, (2) Shh improved the microvascular density and promoted angiogenesis and neuron survival in the ischemic boundary zone, (3) Shh enhanced VEGF expression and VEGF antibody could reverse angiogenic and protective effect of Shh in vivo and in vitro. These data demonstrate that the administration of Shh protein could protect brain from ischemic injury, in part by promoting angiogenic repair. (C) 2017 IBRO. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
