Over the last decade, numerous studies have suggested that neuroglobin is able to protect against the effects of ischemia. However, such results have mostly been based on models using transgenic overexpression or viral delivery. As a therapy, new technology would need to be applied to enable delivery of high concentrations of neuroglobin shortly after the patient suffers the stroke. An approach to deliver proteins in ischemia in vivo in a timely manner is the use of cell-penetrating peptides (CPP). CPP have been used in animal models for brain diseases for about a decade as well. In a recent issue of Experimental Neurology, Cai and colleagues test the effect of CPP-coupled neuroglobin in an in vivo stroke model. They find that the fusion protein protects the brain against the effect of ischemia when applied before stroke onset. Here, a concise review of neuroglobin research and the application of CPP peptides in hypoxia and ischemia is provided.
