Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in motor and sensory deficits, or even paralysis. Due to the role of the cascade reaction, the effect of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the early and middle stages of SCI severely damage neurons, and most antioxidants cannot consistently eliminate ROS at non-toxic doses, which leads to a huge compromise in antioxidant treatment of SCI. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have excellent ROS scavenging bioactivity, but the toxicity control problem limits the therapeutic window. Here, we propose a synergistic therapeutic strategy of SeNPs encapsulated by ZIF-8 (SeNPs@ZIF-8) to obtain synergistic ROS scavenging activity. Three different spatial structures of SeNPs@ZIF-8 were synthesized and coated with ferrostatin-1, a ferroptosis inhibitor (FSZ NPs), to achieve enhanced anti-oxidant and anti-ferroptosis activity without toxicity. FSZ NPs promoted the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis, thereby regulating the expression of inflammatory factors and promoting the polarization of macrophages into M2 phenotype. In addition, the FSZ NPs presented strong abilities to promote neuronal maturation and axon growth through activating the WNT4-dependent pathways, while prevented glial scar formation. The current study demonstrates the powerful and versatile bioactive functions of FSZ NPs for SCI treatment and offers inspiration for other neural injury diseases.

Abstract
HBOT increases the proportion of dissolved oxygen in the blood, generating hyperoxia. This increased oxygen diffuses into the mitochondria, which consume the majority of inhaled oxygen and constitute the epicenter of HBOT effects. In this way, the oxygen entering the mitochondria can reverse tissue hypoxia, activating the electron transport chain to generate energy. Furthermore, intermittent HBOT is sensed by the cell as relative hypoxia, inducing cellular responses such as the activation of the HIF-1α pathway, which in turn, activates numerous cellular processes, including angiogenesis and inflammation, among others. These effects are harnessed for the treatment of various pathologies. This review summarizes the evidence indicating that the use of medium-pressure HBOT generates hyperoxia and activates cellular pathways capable of producing the mentioned effects. The possibility of using medium-pressure HBOT as a direct or adjunctive treatment in different pathologies may yield benefits, potentially leading to transformative therapeutic advancements in the future.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury paradoxically occurs during reperfusion following ischemia, exacerbating the initial tissue damage. The limited understanding of the intricate mechanisms underlying I/R injury hinders the development of effective therapeutic interventions. The Wnt signaling pathway exhibits extensive crosstalk with various other pathways, forming a network system of signaling pathways involved in I/R injury. This review article elucidates the underlying mechanisms involved in Wnt signaling, as well as the complex interplay between Wnt and other pathways, including Notch, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B, transforming growth factor-β, nuclear factor kappa, bone morphogenetic protein, N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor-Ca2+-Activin A, Hippo-Yes-associated protein, toll-like receptor 4/toll-interleukine-1 receptor domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β, and hepatocyte growth factor/mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor. In particular, we delve into their respective contributions to key pathological processes, including apoptosis, the inflammatory response, oxidative stress, extracellular matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, cell hypertrophy, fibrosis, ferroptosis, neurogenesis, and blood-brain barrier damage during I/R injury. Our comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms involved in Wnt signaling during I/R reveals that activation of the canonical Wnt pathway promotes organ recovery, while activation of the non-canonical Wnt pathways exacerbates injury. Moreover, we explore novel therapeutic approaches based on these mechanistic findings, incorporating evidence from animal experiments, current standards, and clinical trials. The objective of this review is to provide deeper insights into the roles of Wnt and its crosstalk signaling pathways in I/R-mediated processes and organ dysfunction, to facilitate the development of innovative therapeutic agents for I/R injury.

[PMID: 37863169 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2023.148640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 10/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023]
Abstract
Previous studies have showed that the permeability of blood brain barrier (BBB) increased after hypoxia ischemia (HI). The current research uncovered the mechanism of altered BBB permeability after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) through AKT/GSK-3β/CREB signaling pathway in neonatal rats. Firstly, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining was used to assess brain injury. Initial findings showed abnormal signals in T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). Changes also happened in the morphology of nerve cells. Subsequently, we found that BBB damage is manifested as leakage of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and destruction of BBB-related proteins and ultrastructure. Meanwhile, the levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) significantly increased at 24 h after HIBD compared to a series of time points. Additionally, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining combined with Western blot (WB) was used to verify the function of the AKT/GSK-3β/CREB signaling pathway in BBB damage after HI in neonatal rats. Results showed that less Claudin-5, ZO-1, p-AKT, p-GSK-3β and p-CREB, along with more MMP-9 protein expression were visible on the damaged side of the cerebral cortex in the HIBD group in contrast to the sham and HIBD + SC79 groups. Together, our findings demonstrated that HI in neonatal rats might upregulate the levels of MMP-9 protein and downregulate the levels of Claudin-5 and ZO-1 by inhibiting the AKT/GSK-3β/CREB pathway, thus disrupting the BBB, which in turn aggravates brain damage after HI in neonatal rats.

Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen and Inflammation on Human Gingival Mesenchymal Stem/Progenitor Cells. Cells 2023; 12:2479. [PMID: 37887323 PMCID: PMC10605813 DOI: 10.3390/cells12202479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study explores for the first time the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on gingival mesenchymal stem cells' (G-MSCs) gene expression profile, intracellular pathway activation, pluripotency, and differentiation potential under an experimental inflammatory setup. G-MSCs were isolated from five healthy individuals (n = 5) and characterized. Single (24 h) or double (72 h) HBO stimulation (100% O2, 3 bar, 90 min) was performed under experimental inflammatory [IL-1β (1 ng/mL)/TNF-α (10 ng/mL)/IFN-γ (100 ng/mL)] and non-inflammatory micro-environment. Next Generation Sequencing and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, G-MSCs' pluripotency gene expression, Wnt-/β-catenin pathway activation, proliferation, colony formation, and differentiation were investigated. G-MSCs demonstrated all mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells' characteristics. The beneficial effect of a single HBO stimulation was evident, with anti-inflammatory effects and induction of differentiation (TLL1, ID3, BHLHE40), proliferation/cell survival (BMF, ID3, TXNIP, PDK4, ABL2), migration (ABL2) and osteogenic differentiation (p < 0.05). A second HBO stimulation at 72 h had a detrimental effect, significantly increasing the inflammation-induced cellular stress and ROS accumulation through HMOX1, BHLHE40, and ARL4C amplification and pathway enrichment (p < 0.05). Results outline a positive short-term single HBO anti-inflammatory, regenerative, and differentiation stimulatory effect on G-MSCs. A second (72 h) stimulation is detrimental to the same properties. The current results could open new perspectives in the clinical application of short-termed HBO induction in G-MSCs-mediated periodontal reparative/regenerative mechanisms.

Abstract
One of the most studied class of non-coding RNAs is microRNAs (miRNAs) which regulate more than 60% of human genes. A network of miRNA gene interactions participates in stem cell self-renewal, proliferation, migration, apoptosis, immunomodulation, and differentiation. Human pulp tissue-derived stem cells (PSCs) are an attractive source of dental mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) which comprise human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) obtained from the dental pulp of permanent teeth and stem cells isolated from exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) that would be a therapeutic opportunity in stomatognathic system reconstruction and repair of other damaged tissues. The regenerative capacity of hDPSCs and SHEDs is mediated by osteogenic, odontogenic, myogenic, neurogenic, angiogenic differentiation, and immunomodulatory function. Multi-lineage differentiation of PSCs can be induced or inhibited by the interaction of miRNAs with their target genes. Manipulating the expression of functional miRNAs in PSCs by mimicking miRNAs or inhibiting miRNAs emerged as a therapeutic tool in the clinical translation. However, the effectiveness and safety of miRNA-based therapeutics, besides higher stability, biocompatibility, less off-target effects, and immunologic reactions, have received particular attention. This review aimed to comprehensively overview the molecular mechanisms underlying miRNA-modified PSCs as a futuristic therapeutic option in regenerative dentistry.

Role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in PDGF-BB-mediated astrogliosis in traumatic brain injury rats associated with ERK1/2 signaling pathway inhibition. Eur J Med Res 2023; 28:99. [PMID: 36841777 PMCID: PMC9960636 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01062-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) plays positive roles in the therapy of traumatic brain injury (TBI); however, the mechanism underlying its effects on TBI is largely unknown. The study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism implicated with the interaction between platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling pathway, which may play critical roles during HBO treatment both in the astrocyte scratching model in vitro and rat TBI model in vivo. METHODS Changes in neurological function and wound healing were evaluated using the neurological severity scores (NSS) scale, immunohistochemistry, western blotting, and qRT-PCR, respectively. RESULTS The results showed that PDGF-BBi (PDGB interfered with small RNA) dramatically improves neuronal viability in vitro when transfected into the scratched astrocytes derived from the cerebral cortex of neonatal rats. Moreover, in vivo experiments revealed that HBO therapy substantially elevated the NSS scores and simultaneously reduced the mortality in TBI rats, as indicated by the NSS scales. Notably, HBO therapy was found to possess the ability to inhibit glial cell proliferation, promote the regeneration of neurons and synapses, and ultimately facilitate the wound healing, as revealed by immunohistochemistry and glial scar formation found in TBI rats. Importantly, HBO markedly decreased the expression levels of PDGF-BB and ERK1/2. It can clearly be seen that downregulated PDGF-BB and ERK1/2 levels were corresponding with the status of significant amelioration of the therapeutic effect of HBO. Conversely, the upregulation of PDGF-BB and ERK1/2 levels was in line with the opposite effect. CONCLUSION It has been concluded that HBO therapy may play its active role in TBI treatment dependent on astrogliosis inhibition, which may be achieved by downregulating the ERK1/2 signaling pathway mediated by PDGF-BB.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS) has become the second leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and the prevention of IS should be given high priority. Recent studies have indicated that hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) may be a protective nonpharmacological method, but its underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. This study comprehensively reviewed the pathophysiology of IS and revealed the underlying mechanism of HBO-PC in protection against IS. The preventive effects of HBO-PC against IS may include inducing antioxidant, anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptosis capacity; activating autophagy and immune responses; upregulating heat shock proteins, hypoxia-inducible factor-1, and erythropoietin; and exerting protective effects upon the blood-brain barrier. In addition, HBO-PC may be considered a safe and effective method to prevent IS in combination with stem cell therapy. Although the benefits of HBO-PC on IS have been widely observed in recent research, the implementation of this technique is still controversial due to regimen differences. Transferring the results to clinical application needs to be taken carefully, and screening for the optimal regimen would be a daunting task. In addition, whether we should prescribe an individualized preconditioning regimen to each stroke patient needs further exploration.

FASEB J 2023; 37:e22760. [PMID: 36607643 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202200962rrrr] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2022] [Revised: 12/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
The activation of endogenous neural stem cells (NSCs) is considered an important mechanism of neural repair after mechanical spinal cord injury; however, whether endogenous NSC proliferation can also occur after spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury (SCIRI) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to verify the existence of endogenous NSC proliferation after SCIRI and explore the underlying molecular mechanism. NSC proliferation was observed after SCIRI in vivo and oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) in vitro, accompanied by a decrease in forkhead box protein O 3a (FOXO3a) expression. This downward trend was regulated by the increased expression of microRNA-872-5p (miR-872-5p). miR-872-5p affected NSC proliferation by targeting FOXO3a to increase the expression of β-catenin and T-cell factor 4 (TCF4). In addition, TCF4 in turn acted as a transcription factor to increase the expression level of miR-872-5p, and knockdown of FOXO3a enhanced the binding of TCF4 to the miR-872-5p promoter. In conclusion, SCIRI in vivo and OGD/R in vitro stimulated the miR-872-5p/FOXO3a/β-catenin-TCF4 pathway, thereby promoting NSC proliferation. At the same time, FOXO3a affected TCF4 transcription factor activity and miR-872-5p expression, forming a positive feedback loop that promotes NSC proliferation.

Effect of Hyperbaric oxygen on myelin injury and repair after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in adult rat. Neurosci Lett 2023; 794:137015. [PMID: 36526030 DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2022.137015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is one of the leading causes of death and neurological disability with limited options for treatment in neonates, children and adults worldwide. The pathogenesis and treatment of white matter (WM) injury in adult patients with HIE remains largely elusive. METHODS Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group, sham-operated group (HBO treatment 6 days after sham operation), and Hypoxia-ischemia (HI) induced brain damage group (receiving left carotid arteries ligation + hypoxia treatment), 1.5ATA hyperbaric oxygen group (HI + 1.5ATA HBOT) and 2.5ATA HBOT group (HI + 2.5ATA HBOT). All the rats were evaluated by water maze before operation, and 6 days after operation, and the function of learning and memory was evaluated; Demyelination in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex was observed by Luxol fast blue staining (LFB) and MBP immunostaining; the number of Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG),glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), ionic calcium-binding adaptor (Iba-1) and NG2 positive cells in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex were determined by immunofluorescence staining. The expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), Hypoxia Inducible Factor 1 Subunit Alpha (HIF1-α) and Superoxide dismutase (SOD) in brain and serum of rats were measured by Western Blot method and Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS Compared with those in the normal control group and sham-operated group, in the HI group, the learning and memory abilities of rats were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), the intensity of LFB and MBP immunostaining in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex was significantly decreased (P < 0.05); the number of MOG positive oligodendrocytes (OLs) significantly decreased (P < 0.05), whereas the number of Iba-1, GFAP, NG2 positive microglias, astrocytes and oligodendrocyte precursors (OPCs) was increased (P < 0.05); the level of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and HIF-1a in brain and serum were significantly increased (P < 0.05), whereas SOD was significantly decreased in brain and increased in serum. Compared with those in the HI group, in both 1.5ATA and 2.5ATA HBOT group, the learning and memory abilities were significantly increased (P < 0.05); the intensity of LFB and MBP immunostaining in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex was significantly increased (P < 0.05); the number of MOG positive OLs significantly increased (P < 0.05); the number of Iba-1, GFAP, NG2 positive microglias, astrocytes and OPCs was decreased (P < 0.05); the level of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and HIF-1a in brain and serum were significantly decreased (P < 0.05); the level of SOD was significantly increased in brain and decreased in serum. Morever, compared with those in the 1.5ATA group, 2.5ATA provided better treatment results (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION In the present study, we demonstrated the mechanism of different pressure HBOT on HI induced brain injury from three levels: (1) On a tissue level, HBOT protects against HI induced myelin injury; (2) On a cellular level, HBOT attenuates HI-induced OL loss, suppresss the reactive activation of astrocyte and microglia, and may promote OPC to differentiate into OL; (3) On a molecular level, HBOT inhibites neuroinflammation, and balances oxidative damage and antioxidant capacity. Among the above effects, 2.5ATA HBOT is better than 1.5ATA HBOT. Ongoing research will continue to seek out the signalling pathways and molecules mechanisms on different pressure of HBOT-related myelin protection, and possibly expand suitable HBOT use in adult HIE clinically.

Neuroprotection of Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicle-Enclosed miR-410 Correlates with HDAC4 Knockdown in Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Damage. Neurochem Res 2022; 47:3150-3166. [PMID: 36028735 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-022-03670-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2021] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 10/15/2022]
Abstract
Evidence exists reporting that miR-410 may rescue neurological deficits, neuronal injury, and neuronal apoptosis after experimental hypoxic ischemia. This study aimed to explore the mechanism by which miR-410 transferred by bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (BMSC-EVs) may alleviate hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) in newborn mice. BMSCs were isolated from total bone marrow cells of femur and tibia of newborn mice, and primary neurons were extracted from the cerebral cortex of newborn mice within 24 h of birth. EVs were extracted from BMSCs transfected with the mimic or inhibitor of miR-410. Primary neurons were subjected to hypoxia and treated with overexpression (oe)-HDAC4, small interfering RNA (siRNA)-β-catenin, or Wnt pathway inhibitor and/or EV (miR-410 mimic) or EV (miR-410 inhibitor). A neonatal mouse HIBD model was established and treated with EVs. When BMSC-EVs were endocytosed by primary neurons, miR-410 was upregulated, neuronal viability was elevated, and apoptosis was inhibited. miR-410 in BMSC-EVs targeted HDAC4, thus increasing neuronal viability and reducing apoptosis. Conversely, overexpression of HDAC4 activated the Wnt pathway and enhanced the nuclear translocation of β-catenin. Treatment with miR-410-containing BMSC-EVs improved learning and memory abilities of HIBD mice while attenuating apoptosis by inactivating the Wnt pathway via targeting HDAC4. Taken together, the findings suggest that miR-410 delivered by BMSC-EVs alleviates HIBD by inhibiting HDAC4-dependent Wnt pathway activation.

HBO Alleviates Neural Stem Cell Pyroptosis via lncRNA-H19/miR-423-5p/NLRP3 Axis and Improves Neurogenesis after Oxygen Glucose Deprivation. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:9030771.

Abstract
Due to the limited neurogenesis capacity, there has been a big challenge in better recovery from neurological dysfunction caused by stroke for a long time. Neural stem cell (NSC) programmed death is one of the unfavorable factors for neural regeneration after stroke. The types of death such as apoptosis and necroptosis have been deeply investigated while the pyroptosis of NSCs is not quite understood. Although it is well accepted that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) alleviates the oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) injury after stroke and reduces programmed death of NSCs, whether NSC pyroptosis is involved in this process is still unknown. Therefore, this study is aimed at studying the potential effect of HBO treatment on NSC pyroptosis following OGD exposure, as well as its influence on NSC proliferation and differentiation in vitro. The results revealed that OGD increased NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) expression to induce the pyroptotic death of NSCs, which was rescued by HBO treatment. And the upregulated lncRNA-H19 functioned as a molecular sponge of miR-423-5p to target NLRP3 for NSC pyroptosis following OGD. Most importantly, it was confirmed that HBO exerted protection of NSCs against pyroptosis by inhibiting lncRNA-H19/miR-423-5p/NLRP3 axis. Moreover, HBO restraint of lncRNA-H19-associated pyroptosis benefited the proliferation and neuronal differentiation of NSCs. It was concluded that HBO attenuated NSC pyroptosis via lncRNA-H19/miR-423-5p/NLRP3 axis and enhanced neurogenesis following OGD. The findings provide new insight into NSC programmed death and enlighten therapeutic strategy after stroke.

Abstract
Neural tube defects (NTDs) remain one of the most life-threatening birth defects affecting infants. Most patients with NTDs eventually develop lifelong disability, which cause significant morbidity and mortality and seriously reduce the quality of life. Our previous study has found that ethionine inhibits cell viability by disrupting the balance between proliferation and apoptosis, and preventing neural stem cells from differentiating into neurons and astrocytes. However, how ethionine participates in the pathogenesis of neural tube development through N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification remains unknown. This study aims to investigate METTL3- and ALKBH5-mediated m6A modification function and mechanism in NTDs. Herein, our results demonstrate that SAM play not only a compensatory role, it also leads to changes of m6A modification in neural tube development and regulation. Additionally, these data implicate that METTL3 is enriched in HT-22 cells, and METTL3 knockdown reduces cell proliferation and increases apoptosis through suppressing Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Significantly, overexpression of ALKBH5 can only inhibit cell proliferation, but cannot promote cell apoptosis. This research reveals an important role of SAM in development of NTDs, providing a good theoretical basis for further research on NTDs. This finding represents a novel epigenetic mechanism underlying that the m6A modification has profound and lasting implications for neural tube development.

Abstract
Neurogenesis process in the chronic phase of ischemic stroke has become the focus of research on stroke treatment recently, mainly through the activation of related pathways to increase the differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) in the brain sub-ventricular zone (SVZ) and subgranular zone (SGZ) of hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) areas into neurons, promoting neurogenesis. While there is still debate about the longevity of active adult neurogenesis in humans, the SVZ and SGZ have the capacity to upregulate neurogenesis in response to cerebral ischemia, which opens discussion about potential treatment strategies to harness this neuronal regenerative response. Wnt signaling pathway is one of the most important approaches potentially targeting on neurogenesis after cerebral ischemia, appropriate activation of which in NSCs may help to improve the sequelae of cerebral ischemia. Various therapeutic approaches are explored on preclinical stage to target endogenous neurogenesis induced by Wnt signaling after stroke onset. This article describes the composition of Wnt signaling pathway and the process of neurogenesis after cerebral ischemia, and emphatically introduces the recent studies on the mechanisms of this pathway for post-stroke neurogenesis and the therapeutic possibility of activating the pathway to improve neurogenesis after stroke.

Abstract
Wnt signaling plays an important role in the self-renewal, fate-commitment and survival of the neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PCs) of the adult central nervous system (CNS). Ischemic stroke impairs the proper functioning of the CNS and, therefore, active Wnt signaling may prevent, ameliorate, or even reverse the negative effects of ischemic brain injury. In this review, we provide the current knowledge of Wnt signaling in the adult CNS, its status in diverse cell types, and the Wnt pathway’s impact on the properties of NS/PCs and glial cells in the context of ischemic injury. Finally, we summarize promising strategies that might be considered for stroke therapy, and we outline possible future directions of the field.
