Xuesaitong may protect against ischemic stroke by modulating microglial phenotypes and inhibiting neuronal cell apoptosis via the STAT3 signaling pathway.
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that xuesaitong has long-term neuroprotective effects against ischemic stroke, possibly by promoting the polarization of microglia to an M2 phenotype and by inhibiting neuronal cell death via down-regulation of the STAT3 signaling pathway, providing new evidence that xuesaitong might be a promising therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke.

Storax Inhibits Caveolae-Mediated Transcytosis at Blood-Brain Barrier After Ischemic Stroke in Rats
Conclusion: Our experimental findings demonstrate Storax treatment inhibits caveolae-mediated transcytosis at BBB in the focal stroke model of rats. We also speculate that regulation of Cav-1, Mfsd2a, AQP4, and PDGFR-β expressions might be associated with its beneficial pharmacological effect, but remain to define and elucidate in future investigation.

MiR-130a exerts neuroprotective effects against ischemic stroke through PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrated that miR-130a prevented cerebral I/R damage by mediating the PTEN/PI3K/AKT axis. These preliminarily findings furthered our understanding of this mechanism and identified new potential therapeutic targets for ischemic stroke. PMID: 31226635 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Shengui Sansheng San extraction is an angiogenic switch via regulations of AKT/mTOR, ERK1/2 and Notch1 signal pathways after ischemic stroke
Conclusion Our study firstly demonstrates that SSS extraction is an angiogenic switch. Due to suppressed VEGFR2/Notch1 cascades and activated AKT/mTOR and ERK1/2 signals in BMECs, a feedback loop of angiogenic homeostasis is established. Furthermore, the comprehensive mediations of SDF-1α/CXCR4 axis, AKT/mTOR/HIF-α, ERK1/2 and Notch1 pathways in penumbra contribute to the improvements of neurological function, survival rate and infarct volume post-stroke.

Systematic analysis of the mechanism of hydroxysafflor yellow A for treating ischemic stroke based on network pharmacology technology
In this study, we analyzed the mechanism of hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) for treating ischemic stroke (IS) based on network pharmacology tools, and verified the kernel targets via animal experiments. The targets of HSYA were collected via PharmMapper server and the IS-related targets were searched using Genecards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, Therapeutic Target, and Disgenet databases. The targets identified from the above two steps were overlapped to acquire candidate targets involved in the effects of HSYA for treating IS. Subsequently, the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery was us...

Orally Administered Crocin Protects Against Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Through the Metabolic Transformation of Crocetin by Gut Microbiota
Conclusion Collectively, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic association studies provide evidence that the gut microbiota plays a vital role in the fate of crocin and crocetin in the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, the cross-interaction between gut microbiota and crocin might mediate the activation of the cerebral-protective effect of orally administered crocin. Ethics Statement This study was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of ‘Institutional Animal Research Committee guidelines, Animal Ethics Committee of China Pharmaceutical University.’ The protocol was approved by the ‘An...

Role of TREK-1 in Health and Disease, Focus on the Central Nervous System
Conclusion and Perspectives Since their cloning 20 years ago, the physiological importance of TREK-1 channels has continued to grow (Figure 3). Today, TREK-1 channels have been shown to be important and their presence is essential in a number of physiopathological processes. Their involvement in these different processes demonstrate the necessity to design pharmacological modulators, activators or inhibitors, of these channels to correct any TREK-1-related dysfunctions. Despites a number of studies and many molecule screenings, only few putative new drugs were identified. The activators belonging to the ML and BL series ...

Interleukin-11 treatment protected against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury
In this study, we investigated the effects of IL-11 on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in a model of focal cerebral ischemia.MethodsMice were randomly divided into five groups the vehicle group, the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) group, the MCAO plus adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) inhibitor compound C group, the MCAO plus IL-11 treatment group, and the MCAO plus IL-11 treatment and compound C group. Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by occluding the left middle cerebral artery, and reperfusion was achieved by withdrawing the suture 2 h after ischemia. The protein expression levels...

Agomelatine protects against permanent cerebral ischaemia via the Nrf2-HO-1 pathway.
In this study, we focused on the effect of agomelatine on permanent cerebral ischaemia in a rat model. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the following four groups (n = 6/group): sham operating group, permanent ischaemic model group, permanent ischaemic model plus agomelatine (40 mg/kg, i.p) group and permanent ischaemic model plus melatonin (10 mg/kg, i.p) group. Twenty-four h after ischaemic onset, we investigated the neurological deficits and infarct volume using neurological deficit scores, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) and transmission electron microscopy (Kochanski et al.). Moreover, we a...
