    Citation Excerpt :

    Functional studies had shown that individuals who carried T genotypes or allele T of CD40 -1C/T have lower circulating sCD40 levels and reduced levels of CD40 on the surfaces of monocyte-derived activated dendritic cells and B cells (Jacobson et al., 2005; Skibola et al., 2008). It was probable that the allele T of CD40 -1C/T might reduce CD40 expression on neuronal cells, vascular endothelial cells, astrocytes and microglia in the CNS, inflammatory cells, as well as immune cell surfaces by hindering the stabilization of the mRNA-ribosome complex and inducing aberrant splicing, which could impede the immune system from mounting appropriate humoral and cell-mediated responses, and eliminate infectious agents (Dolen et al., 2010; Skibola et al., 2008). A low CD40 expression in these cells could reduce their half life and thus affect the pathophysiology pathway of ischemic stroke.
