Abstract
Ischemic stroke is the major contributor to morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes mellitus. In ischemic stroke patients, neuroinflammation is now understood to be one of the main underlying mechanisms for cerebral damage and recovery delay. It has been well-established that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway plays a key role in neuroinflammation. Emerging research over the last decade has revealed that, compared to ischemic stroke without diabetes mellitus, ischemic stroke with diabetes mellitus significantly upregulates TLR4-mediated neuroinflammation, increasing the risk of cerebral and neuronal damage as well as neurofunctional recovery delay. This review aims to discuss how ischemic stroke with diabetes mellitus amplifies TLR4-mediated neuroinflammation and its consequences. Additionally covered in this review is the potential application of TLR4 antagonists in the management of diabetic ischemic stroke.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Medicine publishes original research articles and review articles that range from basic findings in mechanisms of disease pathogenesis to therapy. The focus includes all human diseases, including but not limited to:
Aging, angiogenesis, autoimmune diseases as well as other inflammatory diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, development and differentiation, endocrinology, gastrointestinal diseases and hepatology, genetics and epigenetics, hematology, hypoxia research, immunology, infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, neuroscience of diseases, -omics based disease research, regenerative medicine, and stem cell research.
Studies solely based on cell lines will not be considered. Studies that are based on model organisms will be considered as long as they are directly relevant to human disease.
