Protective role of cisplatin in ischemic liver injury through induction of autophagy
16 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a nuclear protein released from stressed or damaged cells that activates inflammatory cascades involved in the pathogenesis of liver ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury. In efforts to develop strategies aimed at preventing its release from ischemic cells following I/R, we studied the use of cisplatin, a member of the platinating chemotherapeutic agents capable of inducing DNA...
