Stromal cell- derived factor (SDF)-1 alpha is involved in the trafficking of hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow to peripheral blood, and its expression is increased in the penumbra of the ischemic brain. In this study, SDF-1 alpha was found to exert neuroprotective effects that rescued primary cortical cultures from H2O2 neurotoxicity, and to modulate neurotrophic factor expression. Rats receiving intracerebral administration of SDF-1 alpha showed less cerebral infarction due to up-regulation of antiapoptotic proteins, and they had improved motor performance. SDF-1 alpha injection enhanced the targeting of bone marrow (BM)-derived cells to the injured brain, as demonstrated in green fluorescent protein-chimeric mice with cerebral ischemia. In addition, increased vascular density in the ischemic cortex of SDF-1 alpha-treated rats enhanced functional local cerebral blood flow. In summary, intracerebral administration of SDF-1 alpha resulted in neuroprotection against neurotoxic insult, and it induced increased BM-derived cell targeting to the ischemic brain, thereby reducing the volume of cerebral infarction and improving neural plasticity.
