MicroRNAs are non-coding RNAs. Studies have shown that miRNAs are expressed aberrantly in stroke. MiR-1 enhances ischemic damage, and previous study has demonstrated that reduction of miR-1 level has neuroprotective effect on Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion(MCAO). Since apoptosis is one of the important process in neural protection, possible effect of miR-1 on this pathway has been tested in t...
