Recovery Trials

MicroRNAs, Mitochondria and the Blood-Brain Barrier – Therapeutic Targets for Stroke

Investigator: Xuefang Ren, MD, PhD

Purpose: The objective of this proposal is to investigate if endothelial specific miR-34a affects stroke outcomes in the aged brain. We hypothesize that endothelial miR-34a regulates BBB permeability, ischemic damage, hemorrhagic transformation, and stroke-induced deficits by inhibiting translation of LETM1 and LETMD1 leading to impaired mitochondrial bioenergetics in CECs.
