Cerebral ischemic stroke is a cerebrovascular disease, which is related to DNA damage. Many researches have shown that Ku70 is a key regulator for DNA damage. Here, we aimed to explore Ku70 roles in cerebral ischemic stroke and its potential molecular mechanism. In our study, neural stem cells (NSCs) were induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) for constructing cerebral ischemic stroke cell model. CCK8 assay, Brdu/GFP staining, flow cytometry and TUNEL staining were performed to examine cell proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis, respectively. Relative mRNA and protein levels were detected by quantitative real-time PCR and western blot analysis, respectively. Ku70 positive cells were examined by immunofluorescence staining. Comet assay was employed to determine DNA damage. Animal experiments were performed to assess the effect of transplanting NSCs and Ku70-overexpressed NSCs on neurological deficits, infarct volume, brain edema and blood‒brain barrier (BBB) integrity in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. Our data found that Ku70 expression was decreased in NSCs after OGD/R. Overexpression of Ku70 reduced DNA damage and apoptosis of OGD/R-induced NSCs. Knockdown of Ku70 promoted the activity of ATM/p53. Moreover, KU60019 (ATM-specific inhibitor) reversed the promoting effects of Ku70 silencing on DNA damage and apoptosis in OGD/R-induced NSCs. In animal experiments, transplantation of NSCs-overexpressed Ku70 enhanced cell survival, improved motor function, reduced infarct volume, relieved brain edema and alleviated BBB dysfunction in MCAO mice models. In conclusion, Ku70 overexpression repressed the DNA damage and apoptosis in OGD/R-induced NSCs by regulating ATM/p53 pathway, and transplantation of NSCs-overexpressed Ku70 played neuroprotective effects in MCAO mice models.
