This study sought to clarify the effects of 15-lipoxygenase/15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid in angiogenesis and neurological functional recovery after cerebral ischaemic stroke in mice.  In vivo , we performed behavioural tests to determine functional recovery after stroke. Double immunofluorescence staining of CD31 and Ki67/PCNA was performed to evaluate the effects of 15-lipoxygenase/15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid on angiogenesis in an MCAO mouse model.  In vitro , we investigated the effects of 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid on BMVEC proliferation and migration. Our results show that MCAO upregulates 15-lipoxygenase expression in a time-dependent manner, especially in later stages of post-stroke. We confirmed that cerebral infarct area was reduced and neurological dysfunction was gradually attenuated after stroke, while 12/15-lipoxygenase knockout mice exhibited the opposite effects. Furthermore, immunofluorescence studies revealed 15-lipoxygenase increased the proliferation of mouse brain vascular endothelial cells in a time-dependent manner, while 12/15-lipoxygenase knockout blocked these effects. Moreover, 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid promoted proliferation and tube formation in BMVECs. These results demonstrate positive influence of 15-lipoxygenase/15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid in angiogenesis and neuronal recovery after ischaemic stroke in mice. We also confirmed the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway was necessary for the effects of 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid in regulation of BMVEC proliferation and migration, which may potentially be a novel target for the recovery from ischaemic stroke.
