Tellingly, monocyte chemotactic protein-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1), a multifunctional protein with RNAse activity that antagonizes Dicer, and thereby inhibits miRNA biogenesis (Suzuki et al., 2011), has been shown to abrogate the effects of LPS-PC in a mouse model of transient cerebral ischemia (Liang et al., 2011). The gene discussed is ZC3H12A; the disease is transient ischemic attack.
