Cyclosporine A Treatment Abrogates Ischemia-Induced Neuronal Cell Death by Preserving Mitochondrial Integrity through Upregulation of the Parkinson's Disease-Associated Protein DJ-1.
CONCLUSION: These observations provided evidence that CsA maintained mitochondrial integrity likely via DJ-1 upregulation, supporting the concept that mitochondria-based treatments targeting the early phase of disease progression may prove beneficial in stroke.
