Fig. 8From: Gas1 up-regulation is inducible and contributes to cell apoptosis in reactive astrocytes in the substantia nigra of LPS and MPTP modelsA schematic showing of Gas1 functional ways in mediating apoptosis of reactive astrocytes, in which up-regulation of inducible Gas1 signaling might be resulted from inflammatory NFkB activation, and then possibly participate in increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) or oxidative stress, enhancing Bax/Bcl-2 ratios, and finally triggering caspase-3 activation-related apoptosis of reactive astrocytes in LPS and MPTP models or inflammatory eventsBack to article page
