Elabela, a Novel Peptide, Exerts Neuroprotective Effects Against Ischemic Stroke Through the APJ/miR-124-3p/CTDSP1/AKT Pathway
In conclusion, these results indicated that ELA could alleviate neuronal apoptosis and axonal damage by upregulating miR-124-3p and activating the CTDSP1/AKT signaling pathway. This study, for the first time, verified the protective effect of ELA against neuronal injury after ischemia and revealed the underlying mechanisms. We demonstrated the potential for the use of ELA as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of ischemic stroke.PMID:37106272 | DOI:10.1007/s10571-023-01352-6

Administration of intramuscular AAV-BDNF and intranasal AAV-TrkB promotes neurological recovery via enhancing corticospinal synaptic connections in stroke rats
In this study, we performed non-invasive treatment methods focused on intramuscular injection into stroke-injured forelimb muscles, or intranasal administration using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors carrying genes encoding BDNF or TrkB. In a permanent rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model, we assessed the effects of combination therapy with AAV-BDNF and AAV-TrkB on motor functional recovery and synaptic plasticity of the corticospinal connections. Our results showed that BDNF or TrkB gene transduced in the spinal anterior horn neurons and cerebral cortical neurons. Compared to AAV vector treatment alone, b...
