The role of junctional protein associated with coronary artery disease (JCAD) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has not been investigated yet. To investigate its potential as a therapeutic target, transient middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced in JCAD knockout mice, with improvement of stroke outcome and reduced blood-brain barrier permeability and expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1. JCAD plays a deleterious role in ischemia/reperfusion cerebral damage and associates with higher 90-day mortality in patients with AIS. JCAD may thus represent a novel prognostic biomarker for patients with AIS, as well as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
The role of junctional protein associated with coronary artery disease (JCAD) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has not been investigated yet. To investigate its potential as a therapeutic target, transient middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced in JCAD knockout mice, with improvement of stroke outcome and reduced blood-brain barrier permeability and expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1. JCAD plays a deleterious role in ischemia/reperfusion cerebral damage and associates with higher 90-day mortality in patients with AIS. JCAD may thus represent a novel prognostic biomarker for patients with AIS, as well as a therapeutic target.
