Abstract
MicroRNAs play an important role in the occurrence and development of ischemic stroke (IS). A lot of researches have shown that acupuncture intervention can improve IS-induced neural dysfunction by regulating miRNA. In the present paper, we summarized the current progress of researches on the mechanisms of acupuncture underlying improvement of IS via regulation of miRNA from 1) promoting angiogenesis and increasing cerebral blood flow, 2) inhibiting inflammatory response, 3) maintaining blood-brain barrier homeostasis and relieving brain edema, 4) regulating programmed cell death, 5) promoting neuron regeneration, and 6) improving synaptic plasticity. These miRNA -related mechanisms may provide a reference for the follow-up research .
期刊介绍:
Acupuncture Research was founded in 1976. It is an acupuncture academic journal supervised by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, co-sponsored by the Institute of Acupuncture of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and the Chinese Acupuncture Association. This journal is characterized by "basic experimental research as the main focus, taking into account clinical research and reporting". It is the only journal in my country that focuses on reporting the mechanism of action of acupuncture.
The journal has been changed to a monthly journal since 2018, published on the 25th of each month, and printed in full color. The manuscript acceptance rate is about 10%, and provincial and above funded projects account for about 80% of the total published papers, reflecting the latest scientific research results in the acupuncture field and has a high academic level. Main columns: mechanism discussion, clinical research, acupuncture anesthesia, meridians and acupoints, theoretical discussion, ideas and methods, literature research, etc.
