A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) was identified to play an essen- tial role in agonist induced GPIbαshedding. The relationship of GPIbu shedding and ADAM 17 in the acute stage of atherosclerotic ischemic stroke (AIS) patients has not been thoroughly studied. A total of 306 patients and 230 controls matched for age, sex, race, history of hypertension and diabetes mel- litus were enrolled in the study. GPIbα, ADAM17, glycocalicin were detected by flow cytometry, Western blotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) respectively. Compared with the control group, the expression of GPIbα in patients with acute ischemic stroke was significantly lower (P=0.000, P〈0.01). Plasma glycocalicin and ADAM17 in AIS group were higher than those in con- trol group (P=0.699, P=0.000). Pearson's analysis showed glycocalicin bore no correlation with GPIbu in AIS patients (r=0.095, P〉0.05). GPIbα and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) had negative correlation (r=-0.514, P〈0.01). Our findings indicate that ADAM 17 may be a risk factor for ischemic stroke in Chinese and the expression of GPIbα can serve as a measure for stroke severity.展开更多
