Stroke genetics informs drug discovery and risk prediction across ancestries

Aniket Mishra et al.

Summary: This study identified 89 independent loci associated with stroke and its subtypes through cross-ancestry GWAS analyses, with high replication rates for both primary and secondary stroke risk loci. It also revealed potential causal genes, variants, and drug targets, and demonstrated the predictive power of genetic risk scores for ischemic stroke across different ancestries.

Neutrophil extracellular traps regulate ischemic stroke brain injury

Frederik Denorme et al.

Summary: Ischemic stroke triggers a strong inflammatory response, leading to exacerbated outcomes. Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation was observed in the brain tissue of ischemic stroke patients, with elevated plasma NET biomarkers correlating with worse stroke outcomes. Platelets were identified as the critical source of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), which caused NETs in the acute phase of stroke. Depletion of platelets or platelet-specific knockout of HMGB1 significantly reduced plasma HMGB1 and NET levels, resulting in improved stroke outcomes. The therapeutic potential of neonatal NET-inhibitory factor (nNIF) in stroke was also investigated, with promising results in reducing brain infarcts and enhancing survival, even when administered one hour after stroke onset.

Hyperglycemia exacerbates ischemic stroke outcome independent of platelet glucose uptake

Frederik Denorme et al.

Summary: Hyperglycemia exacerbates ischemic stroke outcomes regardless of platelet glucose uptake. Additionally, hyperglycemia primes procoagulant platelet formation, highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting procoagulant platelet formation in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.

Genetic and Genomic Epidemiology of Stroke in People of African Ancestry

Savvina Prapiadou et al.

Summary: Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death globally, with significant racial/ethnic differences in its incidence, subtype, and prognosis between individuals of European and African ancestry. Traditional stroke risk factors can only explain about 50% of these differences. There is a lack of genetic studies including individuals of African descent, leaving gaps in our understanding of stroke genetics in this population.

Genetic Contributors of Incident Stroke in 10,700 African Americans With Hypertension: A Meta-Analysis From the Genetics of Hypertension Associated Treatments and Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke Studies

Nicole D. Armstrong et al.

Summary: This study identified multiple genetic variants associated with incident stroke in African Americans with hypertension, shedding light on the genetic basis of stroke in this population. The inclusion of a polygenic risk score did not improve predictive accuracy for stroke, however, models incorporating established risk factors showed higher accuracy.

Brothers in arms: platelets and neutrophils in ischemic stroke

Frederik Denorme et al.

Summary: This review describes how platelets and neutrophils interact to drive ischemic stroke brain injury. Neutrophils are among the first cells to respond during ischemic stroke, but targeting them in clinical trials has not been successful in improving outcomes. Platelets play a critical role in recruiting neutrophils to sites of injury, and their interaction significantly contributes to the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke brain injury.

US racial and ethnic participation in global clinical trials by therapeutic areas

Milena Lolic et al.

Summary: The study examined the demographic data of U.S. participants in clinical trials for FDA-approved new drugs from 2015 to 2019, revealing variable representation of racial and ethnic minorities across different therapeutic areas. While Blacks or African Americans were represented at or above U.S. census estimates in most therapeutic areas, Asians and American Indian or Alaska Natives were consistently underrepresented. Hispanic or Latino participation was below U.S. census estimates in most therapeutic areas.
