Abstract
The role of junctional protein associated with coronary artery disease (JCAD) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has not been investigated yet. To investigate its potential as a therapeutic target, transient middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced in JCAD knockout mice, with improvement of stroke outcome and reduced blood-brain barrier permeability and expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1. JCAD plays a deleterious role in ischemia/reperfusion cerebral damage and associates with higher 90-day mortality in patients with AIS. JCAD may thus represent a novel prognostic biomarker for patients with AIS, as well as a therapeutic target.
期刊介绍:
JACC: Basic to Translational Science is an open access journal that is part of the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It focuses on advancing the field of Translational Cardiovascular Medicine and aims to accelerate the translation of new scientific discoveries into therapies that improve outcomes for patients with or at risk for Cardiovascular Disease. The journal covers thematic areas such as pre-clinical research, clinical trials, personalized medicine, novel drugs, devices, and biologics, proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics, as well as early phase clinical trial methodology.
