Effect of DDIT4 on autophagy in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

Stroke,especially ischemic stroke,is a serious threat to human health due to its high morbidity,le-thality and disability.Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury is an important pathophysiological process of ischemic stroke.As an important cell stress protein,DNA damage-inducible transcript 4(DDIT4)protein plays an important role in cerebral is-chemia-reperfusion injury,and it provides a new target for the study and treatment of cerebral ischemia -reperfusion injury. This review will focus on the structure and expression of DDIT 4,and its latest research progress on the regulation of auto-phagy in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
