The counter-regulatory axis, Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2, Angiotensin-(1-7), Mas receptor (ACE2/Ang-1-7/MasR), of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) is a potential therapeutic target in stroke, with Ang-(1-7) reported to have neuroprotective effects in pre-clinical stroke models. Here, an extensive investigation of the functional and mechanistic effects of Ang-(1-7) was performed in a rodent model of stroke. Using longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) it was observed that central administration of Ang-(1-7) following transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) increased the amount of tissue salvage compared to reperfusion alone. This protective effect was not due to early changes in blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability, microglia activation or inflammatory gene expression. However, increases in NADPH oxidase 1 (Nox1) mRNA expression were observed in the treatment group compared to control. In order to determine whether Ang-(1-7) has direct cerebrovascular effects, laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) was performed to measure dynamic changes in cortical perfusion following reperfusion. Delivery of Ang-(1-7) did not have any effect on cortical perfusion following reperfusion however; it showed an indication to prevent the 'steal phenomenon' within the contralateral hemisphere. The comprehensive series of studies have demonstrated a moderate protective effect of Ang-(1-7) when given alongside reperfusion to increase tissue salvage.
