Neuroprotective Effects of Omentin-1 Against Cerebral Hypoxia/Reoxygenation Injury via Activating GAS6/Axl Signaling Pathway in Neuroblastoma Cells.

ABSTRACT: Ischemic stroke is characterized by insufficient blood supply to brain tissue and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in adults worldwide. Growth arrest-specific protein 6 (GAS6) is a vitamin K-dependent protein and is widely expressed in the central nervous system. The biological functions of GAS6 are mediated by the interaction with TAM (Tyro3, Axl and Mertk) receptors, including cell survival and proliferation, immune regulation and apoptosis. Omentin-1, also known as intelectin-1 (ITLN-1), is a novel adipocytokine that is involved in a variety of biological events, such as insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, programmed cell death and metabolic disorders. Our previous study has found that omentin-1 act as a novel regulator of vascular and anti-apoptotic respons
