Developmental endothelial locus-1 (Del-1) is a novel angiomatrix protein that has been shown to stimulate a potent angiogenic response and promote functional recovery in hind-limb and cardiac ischemia in animal models; however, its impact on cerebral angiogenesis is unknown. In this study, we investigated whether Del-1 overexpression via gene transfer induces cerebral angiogenesis in a murine model, and examined Del-1 expression after ischemic stroke. Cerebral Del-1 overexpression was achieved with AAV (adeno-associated virus) transduction system via stereotactic injection. Control mice were injected with AAV-lacZ. Del-1 gene transduction led to a significant induction of cerebral angiogenesis compared to AAV-lacZ treatment at 4 weeks after gene transfer (Del-1: 97+/-7 vs lacZ: 64+/-28, vessels/field, p<0.05). Mice transduced with AAV-Del-1 showed significantly elevated vascular densities for up to 6 weeks after gene delivery. In addition, double immunofluorescent staining showed co-localization of endothelial cell marker CD31 with BrdU (specific marker for proliferating cells), indicating that Del-1 promoted endogenous endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Our immunohistochemical staining also showed that Del-1 expression was markedly up-regulated in the peri-infarct area at 3 days after permanent focal cerebral ischemia compared to the sham-operated non-ischemic control. Our data suggest that Del-1 may participate in modulating cerebral angiogenesis, and that gene transfer of Del-1 may provide a novel and potent means for stimulating cerebral angiogenesis.
