Phenothiazines reduced autophagy in ischemic stroke through endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-associated PERK-eIF2 α pathway

CONCLUSION: The combined treatment of C + P plays a crucial role in stroke therapy by inhibiting ER stress-mediated autophagy, thereby leading to reduced apoptosis and increased neuroprotection. Our findings highlight the PERK-eIF2α pathway as a central mechanism through which C + P exerts its beneficial effects. The results from this study may pave the way for the development of more targeted and effective treatments for stroke patients.PMID:37673390 | DOI:10.1016/j.expneurol.2023.114524
