CONCLUSIONS STRAP reduces ERS and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes by activating the PI3K/PDK1/Akt signaling pathway, thereby reducing myocardial MIRI.OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of circ_0072309 in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) and in LIFR humanized mice with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Further, we explored the underlying mechanism of circ-0072309 in IS. MATERIALS AND METHODS The content of circ-0072309 in serum of patients with IS (n = 70) was measured by qRT-PCR, and the ROC curve was analyzed. LIFR humanized mice were used to measure the content of circ-0072309 in ischemic hemisphere by qRT-PCR and the protein expression of cleaved-caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-8 were detected by Western blot. After that, the expression of miR-100 in serum of patients with IS and in ischemic hemisphere of MCAO mice were detected, and then, we analyzed the correlation between the expression of circ-0072309 and miR-100. The binding sites between circ-0072309 and miR-100 were predicted by online database. We detected whether cric-0072309 bind to miR-100 by Dual-Luciferase report in bEnd2. In addition, bEnd2 was treated with oxygen-glucose deprivat Dual-Luciferase showed that miR-100 regulated cell survival and apoptosis by directly binding to mTOR. By comparing treated bEnd2 with circ-0072309, co-transfected bEnd2 with circ-0072309 and miR-100 reduced cell survival and increased apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS According to these results, this study revealed that the circ_0072309-miR-100-mTOR regulatory axis could alleviate IS, and it may be a potential target for the treatment of IS.OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the association between the expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) pathway and neuronal apoptosis in rats with white matter lesions (WML
