Abstract:Identification of new potential drug target proteins and their plausible mechanisms for stroke treatment is critically needed. We previously showed that genetic deletion and short-term pharmacological inhibition of P2X4R, a purinergic receptor for adenosine triphosphate ATP, provides acute cerebroprotection. However, potential mechanisms remain unknown. Therefore, we employed RNA-seq technology to identify the gene expression profiles, pathway analysis, and qPCR validation of differentially expressed genes (DE… Show more
