Stanniocalcin2, A Promising New Target for Identifying Patients with Stroke/Ictus.

ABSTRACT: STC2 (stanniocalcin 2) controls calcium (Ca²⁺) homeostasis in human platelets and other cell lines. The regulation of intracellular Ca²⁺ homeostasis is crucial for platelet activation; thus, the alteration in intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration or the mechanism involved in its regulation has been proposed to underlie some thrombotic disorders. Our previous studies evidenced that the knockdown of STC2 altered murine platelet activation; furthermore, a reduction in STC2 expression resulted in enhanced Ca²⁺ homeostasis in diabetic patients and, therefore, would contribute to the prothrombotic condition as a hallmark of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2). In this study, we examine a possible link between the expression of stanniocalcins (STCs) and different
