| Research Abstract |
Pial collateral development after chronic brain hypoperfusion, arteriogenesis, has attracted much attention because of potential therapeutic target in acute ischemic stroke. In this study, we have investigated the effect of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), chronic hypertension and insulin resistance on pial collateral development in chronic brain hypoperfusion. In mice subjected to unilateral carotid occlusion, treatment with G-CSF enhanced pial collateral development and reduced infarct size after occlusion of middle cerebral artery. However, in both spontaneous hypertensive rats and db/db mice, no development of pial collateral circulation occurred after unilateral carotid occlusion. In conclusion, G-CSF could stimulate aretriogenesis in the pial circulation through recruitment of circulating monocytes, but arteriogenesis in chronic hypoperfusion would be hampered under the condition of endothelial dysfunction such as hypertension and insulin resistance.
