Abstract
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a life-threatening thrombotic disorder, with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) serving as the first-line treatment during its acute phase. However, thrombolysis resistance diminishes the success rate of early reperfusion. Recent studies have highlighted neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) as a critical factor contributing to thrombolysis resistance. Targeting NETs with deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) has been shown to significantly improve the thrombolytic efficacy of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) and reduce the risk of hemorrhagic transformation. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the mechanisms by which NETs contribute to thrombosis and thrombolysis resistance, explore the prospective and feasibility of targeting NETs to improve thrombolysis, providing information about the creation of innovative thrombolytic treatment approaches for AIS.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis is a topic driven review journal that focuses on all issues relating to hemostatic and thrombotic disorders. As one of the premiere review journals in the field, Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis serves as a comprehensive forum for important advances in clinical and laboratory diagnosis and therapeutic interventions. The journal also publishes peer reviewed original research papers.
Seminars offers an informed perspective on today''s pivotal issues, including hemophilia A & B, thrombophilia, gene therapy, venous and arterial thrombosis, von Willebrand disease, vascular disorders and thromboembolic diseases. Attention is also given to the latest developments in pharmaceutical drugs along with treatment and current management techniques. The journal also frequently publishes sponsored supplements to further highlight emerging trends in the field.
