Abstract：
:Overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is considered the most critical factor in radiation-induced brain injury (RBI). To investigate the role of VEGF and the mechanism underlying microvascular damage in RBI, wild type mice, and transgenic mice overexpressing VEGF derived from astrocytes, were separately and randomly exposed to whole-brain or sham irradiation. Pathophysiologic changes in the brain tissue were detected 90 days after irradiation. Compared with wild type mice, the secretion of VEGF and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) was up-regulated in transgenic mice, whether irradiated or not, while elevated expression of VEGF, Ang-2, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) was detected after whole-brain irradiation using western blotting. Impairment of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) was demonstrated by the leakage of dyes observed using two-photon imaging and decreased expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and Occludin. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining revealed obvious structural damage in the irradiated brains. Furthermore, damage to the BBB and histopathology in the transgenic mice were worse than those of wild type mice in the irradiated groups. There was a positive correlation among VEGF and Ang-2 expression and RBI severity. These data reveal that VEGF and Ang-2 expression is closely associated with the microvascular injury in RBI. Further, overexpression of VEGF can cause up-regulation of Ang-2 and exacerbation of RBI. Therefore, Ang-2 might be the cytokine that acts as a mediator between VEGF and microvascular injury, and is likely a new intervention target for RBI.
