Activated microglia play a dual role in the ischemie injury depending on the phenotype of micro- gila, including deleterious M1 phenotype and neuroprotective M2 phenotype. However, microglia show transient M2 phenotype followed by a transition to M1 phenotype aggravating the ischemic injury. Many signal pathways par- ticipate in the modulation of microglial polarization , presenting potential therapeutic targets for selectively inducing the polarization of M2 microglia. In this review, we discuss M2 microglia phenotype mediated neuroprotective role and the signaling cascades controlling microglial phenotype after ischemic stroke.展开更多
