Abstract—Recent scientific studies indicate that angiogenesis and neurogenesis are interrelated processes that determine the functional outcome after ischemic stroke. This literature review presents current data on neurovascular interactions in ischemic stroke and describes the role of the family of vascular endothelial growth factors in the regulation of angiogenesis and neurogenesis, which play a leading role in neuronal survival and neuroplasticity. The authors searched the literature on the pathophysiological role of VEGF in acute cerebral ischemia using the relevant keywords on the PubMed and Google Scholar search engines, as well as Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Global Health, CyberLeninka, eLibrary, and other databases. Clinical studies evaluating the role of VEGF in ischemic stroke are in most cases based on animal models, and their results are ambiguous, which is determined by the versatility of its action. VEGF is an important regulator of angiogenesis, neuroprotection, and neurogenesis, but its negative effect has also been proven in the form of an increase in the permeability of the BBB and, consequently, cerebral edema, as well as the activation of inflammatory processes. Thus, further study of VEGF is needed to determine its role in functional recovery after ischemic stroke.
期刊介绍:
Neurochemical Journal (Neirokhimiya) provides a source for the communication of the latest findings in all areas of contemporary neurochemistry and other fields of relevance (including molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, neuroimmunology, pharmacology) in an afford to expand our understanding of the functions of the nervous system. The journal presents papers on functional neurochemistry, nervous system receptors, neurotransmitters, myelin, chromaffin granules and other components of the nervous system, as well as neurophysiological and clinical aspects, behavioral reactions, etc. Relevant topics include structure and function of the nervous system proteins, neuropeptides, nucleic acids, nucleotides, lipids, and other biologically active components.
The journal is devoted to the rapid publication of regular papers containing the results of original research, reviews highlighting major developments in neurochemistry, short communications, new experimental studies that use neurochemical methodology, descriptions of new methods of value for neurochemistry, theoretical material suggesting novel principles and approaches to neurochemical problems, presentations of new hypotheses and significant findings, discussions, chronicles of congresses, meetings, and conferences with short presentations of the most sensational and timely reports, information on the activity of the Russian and International Neurochemical Societies, as well as advertisements of reagents and equipment.
