Chitinase 3-like 1 (Chi3L1) plays a major role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. We investigated the effect of Chi3L1 knockout on stroke development. Ischemia/reperfusion was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in Chi3L1 knockout and wildtype mice. Significantly increased
Chitinase 3 like-1 (CHI3L1) is a chitinase-like protein member of family 18 chitinases, expressed in innate immune cells and involved in endothelial dysfunction and tissue remodelling. Since CHI3L1 is highly expressed in a variety of inflammatory diseases of infectious and non-infectious aetiology,
Introduction: Inflammation is integral in the neuropathology of both chronic and acute neurological disorders. Knowing the inflammatory profile is important for clarification of disease mechanisms, diagnostic purposes, and ultimately treatment options. Areas covered: A systematic
BACKGROUND
YKL-40, encoded by the chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1) gene, is a chitinase-like protein involved in innate immune function hypothesized to play a role in the progression of atherosclerosis that may have differential roles in myocardial infarction (MI), as compared to stroke.

In a
Chitotriosidase (CHIT1) belongs to chitinase family. So far this enzyme has been the best investigated human chitinase regarding its biological activity and association with various disorders. In a healthy population, CHIT1 activity is very low and originates in the circulating polymorphonuclear
Chitotriosidase (Chit), a member of the mammalian chitinase family, structurally homologous to chitinases from other species, is synthesized and secreted by specifically activated macrophages. After discovery of a striking increase of plasma Chit activity in serum from Gaucher's disease type I
A cascade of pathological processes is triggered in the lesion area after ischemic stroke. Unfortunately, our understanding of these complicated molecular events is incomplete. In this investigation, we sought to better understand the detailed molecular and inflammatory events occurring after
Hypoxia plays an important role in development, cellular homeostasis, and pathological conditions, such as cancer and stroke. There is also growing evidence that hypoxia is an important modulator of the inflammatory process. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are a family of proteins that regulate the
BACKGROUND
The pathophysiology of atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is multifactorial. The association of vascular indices with circulating biomarkers of inflammation and insulin resistance and their role in the long-term cardiovascular prognosis in T2DM patients were currently
