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 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.

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 WP315: Pharmacological Validation of Advanced Gamma Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) Based miR Inhibitors for Ischemic Stroke Treatment

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP315-AWP315, February 1, 2024. Backgrounds:Our prior work demonstrated the potential of targeting miR-141-3p to mitigate ischemic stroke damage. Mice were sacrificed at 3 (acute) or 30 (chronic) days post-stroke.
