JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway mediates methylmercury toxicity in mouse astrocyte neuronal C8-D1A cell line
2024-07-17
Abstract excerpt
Methylmercury (MeHg) is an environmental pollutant. Consumption of contaminated fish is the main exposure route in humans, leading to severe neurological disorders. Upon ingestion MeHg reaches the brain and selectively accumulates in astrocytes disrupting glutamate and calcium homeostasis and increasing oxidative stress. Despite extensive research, the molecular mechanisms underlying MeHg neurotoxicity remain inco...
