However, cell-based therapies are hampered because of restricted understanding regarding optimal cell transplantation routes and due to low survival rates of grafted cells. We therefore transplanted adult green fluorescence protein positive neural precursor cells (NPCs) either intravenously (systemic) or intrastriatally (intracerebrally) 6 hours after stroke in mice. To enhance survival of NPCs, cells were in vitro protein-transduced with TAT-heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) before transplantation followed by a systematic analysis of brain injury and underlying mechanisms depending on cell delivery routes. Transduction of NPCs with TAT-Hsp70 resulted in increased intracerebral numbers of grafted NPCs after intracerebral but not after systemic transplantation. Whereas systemic delivery of either native or transduced NPCs yielded sustained neuroprotection and induced neurological recovery, only TAT-Hsp70-transduced NPCs prevented secondary neuronal degeneration after intracerebral delivery that was associated with enhanced functional outcome. Furthermore, intracerebral transplantation of TAT-Hsp70-transduced NPCs enhanced postischemic neurogenesis and induced sustained high levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, and vascular endothelial growth factor in vivo. Neuroprotection after intracerebral cell delivery correlated with the amount of surviving NPCs. On the contrary, systemic delivery of NPCs mediated acute neuroprotection via stabilization of the blood-brain-barrier, concomitant with reduced activation of matrix metalloprotease 9 and decreased formation of reactive oxygen species. Our findings imply two different mechanisms of action of intracerebrally and systemically transplanted NPCs, indicating that systemic NPC delivery might be more feasible for translational stroke concepts, lacking a need of in vitro manipulation of NPCs to induce long-term neuroprotection.

Although transplantation of stem cells is known to induce beneficial outcome in (preclinical) stroke research, grafted cells do not replace lost tissue directly. Rather, these transplanted cells like neural progenitor cells or mesenchymal stem cells act in an indirect manner, among which the secretion of extracellular vesicles (EVs) appears to be one key factor. Indeed, the application of EVs in preclinical stroke studies suggests a therapeutic role, which appears to be noninferior in comparison to the transplantation of stem cells themselves.

However, the functional relevance of this phenomenon remains unclear because of poor survival and low neuronal differentiation rates of newborn cells. Therefore, further studies on mechanisms regulating neurogenesis under ischemic conditions are required, among which ephrin-ligands and ephrin-receptors (Eph) are an interesting target. Although Eph/ephrin proteins like ephrin-B3 are known to negatively regulate neurogenesis under physiological conditions, their role in cerebral ischemia is largely unknown. We therefore studied neurogenesis, brain injury and functional outcome in ephrin-B3(-/-) (knockout) and ephrin-B3(+/+) (wild-type) mice submitted to cerebral ischemia. Induction of stroke resulted in enhanced cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation around the lesion site of ephrin-B3(-/-) compared to ephrin-B3(+/+) mice. However, prominent post-ischemic neurogenesis in ephrin-B3(-/-) mice was accompanied by significantly increased ischemic injury and motor coordination deficits that persisted up to 4 weeks. Ischemic injury in ephrin-B3(-/-) mice was associated with a caspase-3-dependent activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1). Whereas inhibition of caspase-3 had no effect on brain injury in ephrin-B3(+/+) animals, infarct size in ephrin-B3(-/-) mice was strongly reduced, suggesting that aggravated brain injury in these animals might involve a caspase-3-dependent activation of STAT1. In conclusion, post-ischemic neurogenesis in ephrin-B3(-/-) mice is strongly enhanced, but fails to contribute to functional recovery because of caspase-3-mediated aggravation of ischemic injury in these animals.

A growing body of evidence suggests that PrP(C) has neuroprotective properties and that its deletion increases susceptibility to focal cerebral ischemia. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the role of PrP(C) overexpression in ischemic brain injury in vivo. Methods: PrP(C) overexpressing (TG35) and wild type (WT) mice were subjected to a 90-minute transient focal cerebral ischemia followed by infarct volume analysis 24 hours after lesion. To identify effects of PrP(C) overexpression on signalling pathways important for the regulation of ischemic cell death, we studied postischemic activation and expression of Akt and Erk1/2 using quantitative Western Blot analysis. Results: TG35 mice displayed significantly smaller infarct volumes and showed reduced early postischemic Erk1/2 phosphorylation, a pathway known to exacerbate neuronal injury following transient cerebral ischemia. In contrast, PrP(C) overexpression did not change postischemic Akt phosphorylation, which acts anti-apoptotic and is reduced in PrP(C) knockout animals.

Post-conditioning is a potentially promising therapeutic strategy, which induces acute neuroprotection against ischemic injury. To elucidate longer lasting actions of ischemic post-conditioning, mice were exposed to a 60-min stroke and post-conditioning by an additional 10-min stroke that was induced 10 min after reperfusion onset. Animals were sacrificed 24 h or 28 days post-stroke. Post-conditioning reduced infarct volume and neurological deficits 24 h post-stroke, enhancing blood-brain barrier integrity, reducing brain leukocyte infiltration, and reducing oxidative stress. On the molecular level, post-conditioning yielded increased Hsp70 expression, whereas nuclear factor (NF)-κB and proteasome activities were decreased. Reduced infarct volume and proteasome inhibition were reversed by Hsp70 knockdown, suggesting a critical role of the Hsp70 proteasome pathway in ischemic post-conditioning. The survival-promoting effects of ischemic post-conditioning, however, were not sustainable as neuroprotection and neurological recovery were lost 28 days post-stroke. Although angioneurogenesis was not increased by post-conditioning, the favorable extracellular milieu facilitated intracerebral transplantation of neural progenitor cells 6 h post-stroke, resulting in persisted neuroprotection and neurological recovery.

However, such newly generated cells soon die after cerebral ischemia. To enhance postischemic survival of neural precursor cells (NPC) and long-lasting neural regeneration, we applied the antiapoptotic chaperone heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) fused to a cell-penetrating peptide derived from the HIV TAT to ensure delivery across the blood-brain barrier and the cell membrane. After transient focal cerebral ischemia in mice, TAT-Hsp70 was intravenously injected concomitant with reperfusion and additionally on day 14 after stroke. TAT-Hsp70 treatment resulted in smaller infarct size (27.1 +/- 9.0 versus 109.0 +/- 14.0 and 88.5 +/- 26.0 mm(3) in controls) and in functional improvement as assessed by the rota rod, tight rope, and water maze tests when compared with saline-and TAT-hemagglutinin- treated controls. In addition, postischemic survival of endogenous doublecortin (Dcx)-positive NPC was improved within the lesioned striatum of TAT-Hsp70-treated animals for up to 4 weeks after stroke without changing overall cell proliferation of BrdU(+) cells. Thus, TAT-Hsp70 treatment after stroke may be a promising tool to act neuroprotective and improve postischemic functional outcome, and also to increase survival of endogenous NPC after stroke.
