“…PGRN has a neuroprotective role via promoting neurite outgrowth in neurons [16,17], and as a promoter of neuronal survival via Sortilin and P75 NTR [7,18,19,20] It also curbs the cytokine expression by CD11b positive macrophages and CD11b positive microglia [11]. PGRN expression in the CNS is elevated following hypoxia [21,22], neuroinflammation [23], trauma [24,25,26], stroke [27] and status epilepticus [5,6]. Up until now three PGRN-receptors have been identified, each with different functions.…”
