Present study was designed to investigate the effects and underlying antioxidant mechanism of klotho overexpression through an intracerebroventricular injection of a lentiviral vector that encoded murine klotho (LV-KL) on cerebral ischemia injury. Four weeks after the injection of lentivirus into the lateral ventricle of C57Balc/6J mice, a mouse model of global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion was established by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (2VO). Klotho overexpression significantly improved neurobehavioral deficits and increased the number of survival neurons in the hippocampal CA1 and caudate putamen subregions. The overexpression also decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) content in brain, while mitochondrial manganese- superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and catalase (CAT) expression in brain were increased. Moreover, klotho overexpression decreased Akt and forkhead box class O1 phosphorylation. These findings suggest that klotho may compensate for its aging-related decline to provide a promising therapeutic approach for the acute ischemic stroke during aging.
