Figure 6. Model describing the mechanism by which 25-Hydroxycholesterol protects against cerebral ischemiareperfusion injury. Left Figure: After cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, the expression of STING protein is activated and mTOR phosphorylation is inhibited, thereby increasing the expression of autophagy and achieving cerebral ischemia effect. Right image: After administration of 25-hydroxycholesterol, the expression of STING protein was inhibited, and mTOR phosphorylation was activated, thus inhibiting the expression of autophagy and achieving the effect of cerebral ischemia tolerance.
