HCT, hematocrit; HGB, hemoglobin; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; PLT, platelet; RBC, red blood cell; RDW‐CV, coefficient variation of red blood cell volume distribution width; RDW‐SD, standard deviation in red cell distribution width. (K–M) The serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were determined by commercial reagent kits 14 days after MCAO surgery. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 8–9 per group.

    β‐Common receptor (βCR) is essential in the neuroprotective effect of ARA290 against cerebral ischemic stroke. (A) Western blot analysis shows the efficiency of βCR siRNA on the expression of βCR in brain tissue 1 day after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) surgery. β‐Actin was used as a control to normalize protein expression. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 4 per group. *** p < 0.001, MCAO + βCR siRNA group vs. MCAO + negative control (NC) group. (B) Representative coronal sections stained with 2, 3, 5‐triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) and (C) a schematic diagram of the percentage of brain infarction in the different groups 7 days after MCAO. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 8 per group. * p < 0.05, ARA290 + NC group vs. MCAO + NC group; # p < 0.05, ARA290 + βCR siRNA group vs. ARA290 + NC group.
