Stroke Causes DNA Methylation at Ncx1 Heart Promoter in the Brain Via DNMT1/MeCP2/REST Epigenetic Complex

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundREST (Repressor‐Element 1 [RE1]‐silencing transcription factor) inhibits Na+/Ca2+exchanger‐1 (Ncx1) transcription in neurons through the binding of RE1 site on brain promoter(Br)after stroke. We identified a new putative RE1 site inNcx1heart promoter(Ht)sequence (Ht‐RE1) that participates in neuronalNcx1transcription.

Abstract WP310: Pharmacological Inhibition of 6-Phosphofructo-2-Kinase/Fructose-2,6-Biphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) is Neuroprotective in an Acute Mouse Model of Ischemic Stroke

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP310-AWP310, February 1, 2024. Background:A major hallmark of stroke is the dysregulation of normal metabolic functions. These results support the hypothesis that PFKFB3 inhibitors may be used as a novel pharmacological treatment for reducing delayed cell death after ischemic stroke.

Abstract WP346: Pharmacological Inhibition of Transforming Growth Factor Beta Receptor Improves Breathing Function and Cognition in Mice Models of Dementia

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP346-AWP346, February 1, 2025. Here we tested our hypothesis that pharmacological inhibition of TGFR2 in mice models of dementia may reduce RTN gliosis, breathing disorder and cognitive impairment.We In conclusion, pharmacological inhibition of TGFR2 improved cognition in AD and CAA mice.

Abstract 15: Pharmacological Activation of Efferocytosis Prevents Intracranial Aneurysm Rupture

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A15-A15, February 1, 2024. In this study, we investigated the effect of pharmacological activation of MerTK-mediated efferocytosis using the Gas6 in intracranial aneurysms.Methods:We used 10-week-old male C57BL/6J mice.

Abstract WP306: Exploring the Cardiovascular Effect and Downstream Proteomic Signature of Pharmacologic Targeting of Circulating Adiponectin Levels in a Drug-Target Mendelian Randomization Framework

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP306-AWP306, February 1, 2025. 0.98; p=0.006) risk, but not ischemic stroke/subtypes (all p-values > 0.05). Introduction:Previous studies have suggested that increased body fat is associated with elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Results were consistent in sensitivity analyses.
