Clinical value of serum JKAP in acute ischemic stroke patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Jun N-terminal kinase pathway-associated phosphatase (JKAP) regulates neuronal function, T helper (Th) 1/2/17 cell differentiation, and inflammatory process, but its clinical role in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients remains unclear. Hence, this study intended to evaluate JKAP level and its relationship with disease severity, Th1, 2, 17 secreted cytokines, adhesion molecules, and prognosis of AIS patients.

Methods

Serum JKAP of 122 AIS patients and 50 controls was detected by ELISA. For AIS patients only, Th1, 2, 17 secreted cytokines IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-17; TNF-α, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 were also detected by ELISA.

Results

JKAP was decreased in AIS patients compared with controls (46.350 (interquartile range (IQR): 34.250-59.875) pg/ml vs. 84.500 (IQR: 63.175-1
