The Transcription Factor IRF6 Co-Represses PPARγ-Mediated Cytoprotection in Ischemic Cerebrovascular Endothelial Cells

Abstract Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) in the cerebrovascular endothelium is a key suppressor of post-stroke brain damage. However, the role of PPARγ’s co-regulators during cerebral ischemia remains largely unknown. Here, we show that the transcription factor...
