Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To prevent cerebral vasospasm and symptom exacerbation after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), the researchers, in collaboration with Professor Ann Marie Schmidt of New York University, USA, administered compound 11, a novel RAGE inhibitor, to mice and investigated its effect on the pathological state after SAH. As a result, they confirmed that the compound markedly improved neurological symptoms and cerebral vasospasm. Furthermore, the researchers employed cell-specific RAGE-conditional knockout (cKO) mice and found that neutrophil-derived RAGE plays an important role in the pathogenesis of post-SAH.
