Lysosomal-associated transmembrane protein 5 deficiency exacerbates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.

ABSTRACT: Lysosomal-associated transmembrane protein 5 (LAPTM5) has been demonstrated to be involved in regulating immunity, inflammation, cell death, and autophagy in the pathophysiological processes of many diseases. However, the function of LAPTM5 in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury has not yet been reported. In this study, we found that LAPTM5 expression was dramatically decreased during cerebral I/R injury both in vivo and in vitro. LAPTM5 knockout (KO) mice were compared with a control, and they showed a larger infarct size and more serious neurological dysfunction after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) treatment. In addition, inflammatory response and apoptosis were exacerbated in these processes. Furthermore, gain- and loss-of-function investigations
