Vascular PPARδ protects against stroke-induced brain injury.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)δ in the cerebral vasculature following stroke-induced brain injury. METHODS AND RESULTS Here, we report a novel finding that selective PPARδ genetic deletion in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) resulted in increased cerebrovascular permeability and brain infarction in mice after middle cerebral arter...
متن کاملCurcumin protects neural cells against ischemic injury in N2a cells and mouse brain with ischemic stroke
Background and Purpose Curcumin, a natural antioxidant isolated from Curcuma longa, has been reported to exert neuroprotective effect in animal models of ischemic stroke. However, the underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of curcumin treatment on neuronal apoptosis in the periinfarct cortex after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion...
متن کاملEndogenous adrenomedullin protects against vascular response to injury in mice.
BACKGROUND In our previous study, adrenomedullin (AM) overexpression could limit the arterial intimal hyperplasia induced by cuff injury in rats. However, it remains to be elucidated whether endogenous AM plays a role against vascular injury. METHODS AND RESULTS We used the AM knockout mice to investigate the effect of endogenous AM. Compared with wild-type (AM+/+) mice, heterozygous AM knock...
متن کاملThe A2b adenosine receptor protects against vascular injury.
The A2b adenosine receptor (A2bAR) is highly abundant in bone marrow macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). To examine the functional significance of this receptor expression, we applied a femoral artery injury model to A2bAR knockout (KO) mice and showed that the A2bAR prevents vascular lesion formation in an injury model that resembles human restenosis after angioplasty. While c...
متن کاملStatin-induced expression of decay-accelerating factor protects vascular endothelium against complement-mediated injury.
Complement-mediated vascular injury is important in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. Because recent evidence shows that statins have beneficial effects on endothelial cell (EC) function independent of lipid lowering, we explored the hypothesis that statins modulate vascular EC resistance to complement through the upregulation of complement-inhibitory proteins. H...
