Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Potential therapeutics aimed at neural repair and functional recovery are limited in their blood-brain barrier permeability and may exert systemic or off-target effects. We examined the effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), delivered via an extended release HyStem (R)-C hydrogel implant or vehicle, on sensorimotor function, infarct volume, and neuroinflammation, following permanent distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAo) in rats. Eight days following dMCAo or sham surgery, treatments were implanted directly into the infarction site. Rats received either vehicle, BDNF-only (0.167 mu g/mu L), hydrogel-only, hydrogel impregnated with 0.057 mu g/mu L of BDNF (hydrogel + BDNFLOW), or hydrogel impregnated with 0.167 mu g/mu L of BDNF (hydrogel + BDNFHIGH). The adhesive removal test (ART) and 28-point Neuroscore (28-PN) were used to evaluate sensorimotor function up to two months post-ischemia. The hydrogel + BDNFHIGH group showed significant improvements on the ART six to eight weeks following treatment and their behavioral performance was consistently greater on the 28-PN. Infarct volume was reduced in rats treated with hydrogel + BDNFHIGH as were levels of microglial, phagocyte, and astrocyte marker immunoexpression in the corpus striatum. These data suggest that targeted intracerebral delivery of BDNF using hydrogels may mitigate ischemic brain injury and restore functional deficits by reducing neuroinflammation.

Apolipoprotein a5 genetic polymorphisms in turkish population and the risk of ischemic stroke Şahin, Esra; Adalı, Orhan; Department of Biotechnology (2008) Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the most common cause of disabilities worldwide. Apolipoprotein A5 gene (APO A5), which encodes a 369 amino acid protein called Apolipoprotein AV (apo AV), has several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found to be associated with altered triglyceride (TG) levels. Atherosclerosis is a major cause of ischemic stroke and this pathology may be associated with variability of TG levels. The main objective of this study was to investigate the coding region (c.553...
Analysis of cytochrome P4501A1 genetic polymorphisms in patients with ischemic stroke Adalı, Ayşe Çınar; Adalı, Orhan; Demirdöğen, Birsen Can; Department of Biochemistry (2011) Stroke is the third leading cause of death worldwide and results in serious disabilities. Cytochrome P450 1A1 gene (CYP1A1) is a highly polymorphic gene encoding its corresponding xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme which is responsible from the metabolism of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are engaged with the formation of free radicals. Atherosclerosis is a major cause of ischemic stroke and this pathology may be associated with the disruption of vascular homeostasis due to the format...
Flavin containing monooxygenase 3 genetic polymorphisms Glu158Lys and Glu308Gly and their relation to ischemic stroke Ozcelik, Aysun Turkanoglu; Demirdogen, Birsen Can; Demirkaya, Seref; Adalı, Orhan (Elsevier BV, 2013-05-25) Ischemic stroke is a multifactorial disease leading to severe long-term disability and it is the third leading cause of death in developed countries. Although many studies have been reported to elucidate etiological and pathological mechanisms of stroke, the genetic and molecular basis of disease remains poorly understood. Recent studies have shown that reactive oxygen species causing oxidative stress play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis that is the main cause of a group of cardiovascu...
Biomolecular changes and subsequent time-dependent recovery in hippocampal tissue after experimental mild traumatic brain injury Ustaoglu, Sebnem Garip; Ali, Mohamed H. M.; Rakib, Fazle; Blezer, Erwin L. A.; Van Heijningen, Caroline L.; Dijkhuizen, Rick M.; Severcan, Feride (2021-12-01) Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the main cause of disability and mortality in individuals under the age of 45 years. Elucidation of the molecular and structural alterations in brain tissue due to TBI is crucial to understand secondary and long-term effects after traumatic brain injury, and to develop and apply the correct therapies. In the current study, the molecular effects of TBI were investigated in rat brain at 24 h and 1 month after the injury to determine acute and chronic effects, respectively by Fo...
Association of the CYP2E1, FMO3,NQO1,GST,NOS3 genetic polymorphisms with ischemic stroke risk in Turkish population Özçelik, Aysun; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Çoruh, Nursen; Department of Biochemistry (2011) Stroke, a major cause of death and disability, is described as interruption or severe reduction of blood flow in cerebral arteries. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and carotid atherosclerosis is a risk factor for stroke. Combination of multiple environmental and genetic risk factors is thought to increase susceptibility to the development of this disease. Therefore, investigation of the polymorphisms of drug metabolizing enzymes is of crucial importance to det...
