FUS Selectively Facilitates circRNAs Packing into Small Extracellular Vesicles within Hypoxia Neuron.

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) contain abundant circular RNAs (circRNAs) and are involved in cellular processes, particularly hypoxia. However, the process that packaging of circRNAs into neuronal sEVs under hypoxia is unclear. This study revealed the spatial mechanism of the Fused in Sarcoma protein (FUS) that facilitates the loading of functional circRNAs into sEVs in hypoxia neurons.

Systematic Analysis of RNA Expression Profiles in Different Ischemic Cortices in MCAO Mice.

The prognosis of ischemic stroke patients is highly associated with the collateral circulation. And the competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) generated from different compensatory supply regions may also involve in the regulation of ischemic tissues prognosis. In this study, we found the apoptosis progress of ischemic neurons in posterior circulation-supplied regions (close to PCA, cortex2) was much slower than that in anterior circulation-supplied territory (close to ACA, cortex1) in MCAO-3-h mice.

A New Nomogram for Predicting the Risk of Intracranial Hemorrhage in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients After Intravenous Thrombolysis.

Background: We aimed to develop and validate a new nomogram for predicting the risk of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).

Methods: A retrospective study enrolled 553 patients with AIS treated with IVT. The patients were randomly divided into two cohorts: the training set (70%, = 387) and the testing set (30%, = 166).

CircOGDH Is a Penumbra Biomarker and Therapeutic Target in Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide. Prediction of penumbra existence after AIS is crucial for making decision on reperfusion therapy. Yet a fast, inexpensive, simple, and noninvasive predictive biomarker for the poststroke penumbra with clinical translational potential is still lacking.

Inhibition of PDE1-B by Vinpocetine Regulates Microglial Exosomes and Polarization Through Enhancing Autophagic Flux for Neuroprotection Against Ischemic Stroke.

Exosomes contribute to cell-cell communications. Emerging evidence has shown that microglial exosomes may play crucial role in regulation of neuronal functions under ischemic conditions. However, the underlying mechanisms of microglia-derived exosome biosynthesis are largely unknown.
