Fig. 7From: HIV-1 Tat enhances purinergic P2Y4 receptor signaling to mediate inflammatory cytokine production and neuronal damage via PI3K/Akt and ERK MAPK pathwaysSchematic diagram of P2Y4R signal activated by Tat via PI3K/Akt and ERK pathways in astrocyte-mediated neuron death. Under soluble Tat stimulation, P2Y4R are upregulated in astrocytes via PI3K/Akt and ERK pathways, which increases inflammatory process and ATP release to damage neuron, thus exacerbating the HAND processBack to article page
