Outline of Final Research Achievements

Site-specific omics analysis of ischemic core (IC) and ischemic penumbra (IP) was performed by administering PACAP to a mouse cerebral infarction model. As a result, activation of blood clotting signal was confirmed in IP, and thrombolytic signal activation in IC was confirmed. Furthermore, suppression of excessive release of neuroendocrine hormone by IP administration of PACAP and IP prevented progression of secondary brain injury.
Furthermore, it was revealed that dephosphorylation of CRMP2 which had been confirmed to be altered by PACAP was strongly promoted especially at IP of 6 hours after administration of PACAP. Since it is known that CRMP2 changes to active form by dephosphorylation and controls axon formation and axon elongation action, the dephosphorylation action of CRMP2 by PACAP is important in the molecular mechanism of early neuroprotective action of cerebral infarction was suggested.
