Abstract:Background Factor XII (FXII) is a serine protease that participates in the intrinsic coagulation pathway. Several studies have shown that plasmatic FXII exert a deleterious role in cerebral ischemia and traumatic brain injury by promoting thrombo-inflammation. Nevertheless, the direct impact of FXII on neuronal cell fate remains unknown.Methods We investigated whether FXII influenced neuronal death induced in vivo by stereotaxic injection of N-methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) and in vitro by serum deprivation of cult… Show more
