Abstract: Stroke is one of the neurological diseases which lead to permanently neuronal damage after temporary or long-term occlusion of
vessels or after heart attack. However, there are few efficient strategies to prevent or treat this kind of insult in clinical because once the onset of
stroke, the consequence is irreversible and could be long-lasting. Gene therapy especially using viral system has long been addressed to be
of great potential to reduce the damage. Here, we generated recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) carrying brain-derived neurotrophic
factor (BDNF) gene. Cells infected with rAAV-BDNF could be able to produce functional BDNF which promoted neurite outgrowth and protected
neurons from apoptosis induced by serum deprivation. Further more, single injection of rAAV has neuroprotection against cell death in focal
ischemic model. These results showed that rAAV-mediated gene delivery is functional and of relevance, which shed light to the future
application of viral system-based gene therapy in clinical. (IJCEP1105003)
Keywords: Stroke, recombinant adeno-associated virus, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, gene therapy
