Oxidative Stress-mediated Sprouty-related Protein with an EVH1 Domain 1 Down-regulation Contributes to Resisting Oxidative Injury in Microglia.

Microglia play an ambiguous role in injury or repair after ischemia-reperfusion, and the induced oxidative stress serves as an important signal, mediates direct toxicity to nerve cells, and eventually simulates complex physiological processes such as activation of microglia to repair the damaged area. Herein, we show that sprouty-related protein with an EVH1 domain 1 (SPRED1) may act as a regulatory node in this phenomenon. The ischemic brain of an ischemia-reperfusion rat model constructed by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) showed an increase in oxidative stress and downregulation of SPRED1 expression.

CMTM6 knockdown prevents glioma progression by inactivating the mTOR pathway.

Background: Gliomas in the adult brain are complicated and aggressive with a poor prognosis. Gene therapy is a recent alternative glioma treatment. We sought to explore the mechanism of chemokine-like factor (CKLF) MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 6 (CMTM6) in glioma.
