Peptide5 attenuates rtPA related brain microvascular endothelial cells reperfusion injury via the Wnt/ β-catenin signalling pathway

CONCLUSION: This study showed that the application of peptide5 maintained cell viability and permeability associated with rtPA treatment, revealing a possible pathway that could be exploited to limit rtPA-related endothelial cell injury during ischemic stroke. Furthermore, the altered Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway demonstrated that signaling pathways associated with Cx43 might have potential applications in the future. This study may provide a new way to attenuate HT and assist the application of rtPA in ischemic stroke.PMID:34370635 | DOI:10.2174/1567202618666210809115305
