Abstract

The present study focused on the mechanisms of post‑ischemic stroke (IS) angiogenesis from the perspective of endothelial cells (ECs) dysfunction. First, it emphasized the importance of hypoxia‑inducible factor‑1α in the function of ECs under hypoxic conditions, particularly in promoting angiogenesis and improving cerebral blood supply. Secondly, inflammatory cytokines and adhesion factors (for example, selectins, the immunoglobulin superfamily and integrins) influence the function and angiogenesis of ECs through various mechanisms and signaling pathways following IS. In addition, the effects of oxidative stress on ECs function and angiogenesis were explored, along with the potential of antioxidant strategies to improve EC function and promote angiogenesis. Based on these insights, the present study proposed new therapeutic strategies to ameliorate endothelial dysfunction and promote angiogenesis following IS, including small‑molecule drugs targeting specific molecules, gene therapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatments. Finally, the importance of translating these laboratory findings into clinical applications was emphasized, alongside the need for advanced imaging techniques to monitor the dynamic processes of post‑IS angiogenesis and evaluate the efficacy of novel therapeutic interventions. These explorations aimed at providing a more comprehensive understanding of EC function and the regulatory mechanisms of a deeper understanding of angiogenesis following IS, offering new intervention strategies for IS treatment.
