Abstract:

Ischemic stroke presents significant morbidity and disability, with limited therapeutic options beyond reperfusion therapy to effectively reduce neurologic deficits. The inflammatory response associated with ischemic stroke involves the complement system proteins. The expression of complement is temporally influenced during distinct phases of ischemic stroke. Complement component 1q (C1q) demonstrates a discernable predictive value in relation to the onset of ischemic stroke, potentially attributable to its regulatory impact on atherosclerosis. Complement system proteins implicated in arterial thrombosis pose a risk of precipitating thromboembolic events. The serum concentrations of C1q, mannose-binding lectin (MBL), complement 3 (C3), and membrane attack complex (MAC) exhibit correlations with the severity of neurologic deficits resulting from ischemic stroke. Elevated levels of MBL, C3, and MAC are indicative of a less favorable prognosis in ischemic stroke cases. Complement plays a role in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and is associated with post-stroke cognitive impairment. Both C3 and complement 5 (C5) exert a dual effect on functional recovery following stroke. Complement 4 (C4) proves to be more clinically informative in evaluating strokes occurring in the context of diabetes. Currently, the majority of foundational experimental studies focus on the treatment of ischemic brain injury through the modulation of complement receptor expression. This article reviews the research on the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke and the evaluation of stroke severity and prognosis in the past five years, in order to provide ideas for the treatment of ischemic stroke from onset to long-term prognosis.
