Abstract

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. It remains difficult to treat brain injury and improve functional rehabilitation after cerebral ischemia. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in ischemic stroke (IS) through interactions in the CREB1-BDNF-NTRk2 pathway. In this study, we aimed to determine the association of NTRK2 gene polymorphisms and the effects of intergenetic interactions in the Chinese population. A total of 400 patients diagnosed with IS and 400 healthy controls were enrolled for genotyping. Detailed sequence-based analysis was predicted through bioinformatical investigation. Polymorphisms associated with miRNA were analyzed by a dual-luciferase reporter assay system. Analysis of clinical characteristics revealed that IS was highly associated with exposure to cigarette smoking, alcohol intake, as well as metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and higher serum triglyceride concentration. Three polymorphisms in NTRK2 located in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) were genotyped. Logistic regression analysis showed that IS patients with rs11140793, rs7047042, and rs1221 polymorphisms had a higher risk of stroke and indicated a worse short-term recovery. The mRNA level...Continue Reading
