Abstract:Ischemic stroke is an important clinical problem with few effective treatments. Many studies have shown that exogenous tissue kallikrein (TK) can protect neurons against hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. In the present study, we explored the possible molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation and function of endogenous TK. Western blot, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and real-time PCR (RT-PCR) revealed that cerebral ischemic preconditioning (IP) upregulated the expression of endogenous TK by regulating t… Show more
