Abstract:Platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR), known as a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), is extensively expressed in the plasma membrane of several cells. Several studies showed that nuclear PAFR performs distinct functions from cell surface. Our previous studies showed that inhibition of microglial PAFR by miR-98 overexpression can protect salvageable neurons from microglial phagocytosis in ischemic stroke; however, the underlying mechanism remains to be fully elucidated. Herein, we created PAFR knockout mic… Show more
