Random-effects models quantified the effect of angiopoietin-1 upregulation on stroke severity in terms of the size of cerebral infarction and the extent of blood-brain barrier permeability.
In conclusion, Ang-(1-7) treatment using an oral formulation after the onset of ischaemia induces significant neuroprotection in stroke and might represent a viable approach for taking advantage of the protective ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/Mas axis in this disease.
Blood samples collected at 24 h after stroke symptom onset were used to measure the inflammatory biomarkers of glycoprotein IIb (CD41) expressing microparticles (MP), C-reactive protein (CRP), COX 2, APOE, and Angiopoietin 1.
In conclusion, enhanced expression of Ang1 and Tie2 in ischemic brain after BMSCs-CM treatment of stroke may contribute to the improved functional recovery after stroke in type 2 diabetic rats.
Human umbilical cord blood cells is an effective neurorestorative therapy in T1DM-MCAo rats and the enhanced vascular and WM remodeling and associated functional recovery after stroke may be attributed to increasing Angiopoietin-1 and decreasing RAGE.
Brain vascular leaking and inflammation are two important pathological processes of stroke; therefore, we hypothesized that variants of the microRNA-binding site in angiopoietin-1 would affect its expression and confer a risk of stroke.
In this study, we tested whether MSC treatment of stroke increases Ang1/Tie2 expression, and whether Ang1/Tie2 with VEGF/ vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) (Flk1), in combination, induced by MSCs enhances angiogenesis and vascular integrity.
In addition, expression of angiopoietin-1 and the angiopoietin receptor dropped markedly after stroke in SHRSP animals, but was not different after ischemia in SHR and WKY strains.
