Treatment with AAV1-Rheb(S16H) provides neuroprotection in a mouse model of photothrombosis-induced ischemic stroke
We recently reported that upregulation of the constitutively active ras homolog enriched in brain [Rheb(S16H)], which induces the activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway, can protect adult neurons, mediated by the induction of neurotrophic factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases. Here we show that neuronal transduction of Rheb(S16H) using adeno-associated virus serotype 1 provides neuroprotection in a mouse model of photothrombosis-induced ischemic stroke. Rheb(S16H)-expressing neurons exhibited neurotrophic effec...
