Up-regulation of angiotensin-converting enzyme in response to acute ischemic stroke via ERK/NF-κB pathway in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Oncotarget 2017 November 15
Cerebral ischemic stroke is usually caused by a temporary or permanent decrease in blood supply to the brain. Despite general progress in diagnosis and treatment, the prognosis of stroke is still unsatisfactory, and more detailed potential mechanisms are needed to investigate underlying the pathological process. Here, we showed that serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) concentration was positively correlated with infarct volume after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Moreover, using a permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion rat model, we indicated for the first time that increased ACE expression in response to AIS was regulated by the ERK/NF-κB pathway in peri-infarct regions. More importantly, we disclosed that angiotensin II type 1 receptors were implicated in up-regulation of ACE expression in peri-infarct regions. These findings offer insight into ACE expression and activity in response to stroke, and further our understanding of ACE mechanisms.
