General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | tPA is a pivotal player in slowly progressing activity deprivation-induced neurodegeneration, e.g. induced by blockade of neuronal activity using tetrodotoxin, TTX. Neurons degenerate slowly and die in a manner resembling neurodegenerative diseases-induced neuronal cell death. Transfection of an endogenous tPA inhibitor, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, protected the TTX-exposed neurons from dying | Rattus norvegicus |
