Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability in the United States. However, limited number of molecularly targeted therapy exists for stroke. Recent studies have shown that Li-pocalin-2 (LCN2) is an acute phase protein mediating neuroinflammation after ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. This review is an attempt to summarize some LCN2-related research findings and discuss its role in stroke.
中风是美国成年人残疾的主要原因。然而,针对中风的分子靶向治疗数量有限。最近的研究表明,脂质运载蛋白2(LCN2)是一种急性期蛋白,在缺血性和出血性中风后介导神经炎症。这篇综述试图总结一些与LCN2相关的研究结果,并讨论其在中风中的作用。
