Vasoconstrictive Effect of Tenascin-C on Cerebral Arteries in Rats
2015
Background and purpose: The authors have reported that tenascin-C (TNC), a matricellular protein, is induced after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), associated with cerebral vasospasm. In this study, we examined whether TNC alone causes cerebral vasospasm-like constriction of the intracranial internal carotid arteries (ICAs) in rats, focusing on the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-mediated mechanisms.
