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.

Drug therapies for stroke prevention

The British Journal of Cardiology

Stroke is a major cause of mortality, morbidity and economic burden. Strokes can be thrombotic, embolic or haemorrhagic. The key risk factor for cardioembolic stroke is atrial fibrillation or flutter, and oral anticoagulation (OAC) is recommended in all but the lowest-risk patients with evidence of these arrhythmias.

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 WP339: Pharmacological Inhibition of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) in Aged Male and Female Mice Confers Neuroprotection after Ischemic Stroke

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP339-AWP339, February 1, 2025. Background:Ischemic stroke triggers the metabolic reprogramming of cells in the infarct core and surrounding penumbra. Previous research in our lab supports a neuroprotective effect of PFKFB3 inhibition after stroke in young male mice.
