Background: Ischemic stroke can induce changes in mitochondrial morphology and function. As a regulatory gene in mitochondria, optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and other related functions. However, its roles in cerebral ischemia-related conditions are barely understood. Methods: Cultured rat primary cortical neurons were respectively transfected with OPA1-v1 S1-encoding and OPA1-v1-encoding lentivirus before exposure to 2-h oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) and subsequent reox-ygenation (OGD/R). Adult male SD rats received an intracranial injection of AAV-OPA1-v1 S1 and were sub-jected to 90 min of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) followed by reperfusion. OPA1 ex-pression and function were detected by in vitro and in vivo assays. Results: OPA1 was excessively cleaved after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, both in vitro and in vivo. Under OGD/R condition, compared with that of the LV-OPA1-v1-treated group, the expression of OPA1-v1 S1 efficiently restored L-OPA1 level and alleviated neuronal death and mitochondrial morphological damage. Meanwhile, the expression of OPA1-v1 S1 markedly improved cerebral ischemia/reperfusion-induced motor function damage, attenuated brain infarct volume, neuronal apoptosis, mitochondrial bioenergetics deficits, oxidative stress, and restored the morphology of mitochondrial cristae and mitochondrial length. It also pre-served the mitochondrial integrity and reinforced the mtDNA content and expression of mitochondrial bio-genesis factors in ischemic rats. Interpretation: Our results demonstrate that the stabilization of L-OPA1 protects ischemic brains by reducing neuronal apoptosis and preserving mitochondrial function, suggesting its significance as a promising therapeutic target for stroke prevention and treatment.
