Bcl-2 expression using retrograde transport of adenoviral vectors inhibits cytochrome c-release and caspase-1 activation in motor neurons of mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (G93A) transgenic mice.

Abstract excerpt

We explored a possible mechanism of the neuro-protective effects of exogenous human Bcl-2 expression on motor neurons of transgenic mice expressing human Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase with a G93A mutation (G93A mice), using retrograde transport and a Cre-loxP recombination system employing adenoviral vectors. We examined the cellular localization of cytochrome c and caspase-1 using immunohistochemical study, in...
