MiR-199a-5p enhances neuronal differentiation of neural stem cells and promotes neurogenesis by targeting Cav-1 after cerebral ischemia
CONCLUSION: MiR-199a-5p may target and inhibit Cav-1 to enhance neurogenesis and thus promote functional recovery after cerebral ischemia. These findings indicate that miR-199a-5p is a promising target for the treatment of ischemic stroke.PMID:37349971 | DOI:10.1111/cns.14323

Novel mechanistic insight on the neuroprotective effect of berberine: The role of PPAR δ for antioxidant action
Free Radic Biol Med. 2022 Jan 27:S0891-5849(22)00033-8. doi: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2022.01.022. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCerebral ischemic stroke ranks the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability in lifetime all around the world, urgently necessitating effective therapeutic interventions. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in stroke pathogenesis and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are prominent targets for ROS management. Although recent research has shown antioxidant effect of berberine (BBR), little is known regarding its effect upon ROS-PPARs sig...

Connecting Metainflammation and Neuroinflammation Through the PTN-MK-RPTP β/ζ Axis: Relevance in Therapeutic Development
Conclusion The expression of the components of the PTN-MK-RPTPβ/ζ axis in immune cells and in inflammatory diseases suggests important roles for this axis in inflammation. Pleiotrophin has been recently identified as a limiting factor of metainflammation, a chronic pathological state that contributes to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Pleiotrophin also seems to potentiate acute neuroinflammation independently of the inflammatory stimulus while MK seems to play different -even opposite- roles in acute neuroinflammation depending on the stimulus. Which are the functions of MK and PTN in chronic neuroi...

IL-8 enhances angiogenesis of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by increasing vascular endothelial growth factor.
In conclusion, IL-8 stimulates VEGF production in hBM-MSCs in part via the PI3K/Akt and MAPK/ERK signal transduction pathways and that administration of IL-8-treated hBM-MSCs increases angiogenesis after stroke. This approach may be used to optimize MSC-based therapies for numerous diseases including stroke, myocardial ischemia, and spinal cord injury. PMID: 24797366 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
