Abstract
There is growing evidence that highlighted the potential effects of CD147 in atherosclerosis, but the potential implication of CD147 in diagnosis and treatment of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and acute cerebral infarction (ACI) is still unclear. In this work, we investigated the serum level of CD147 in patients with TIA and ACI, and CD147 expression in atherosclerotic plaque. The result showed significantly increasing serum level of CD147 in patients with TIA and ACI, and increasing amount of CD147 in vulnerable plaque compared with that in migrating plaque. The serum level of CD147 was correlation with risk of stroke after an episode of TIA. These results together suggest a potential involvement of CD147 in the development and progression of TIA and ACI and CD147 as a potential biomarker for stroke prediction.Entities:
