GATA-4 regulates neuronal apoptosis after intracerebral hemorrhage via the NF- κB/Bax/Caspase-3 pathway both in vivo and in vitro.

In conclusion, the expression of GATA-4 was increased in the brain of rats after ICH. GATA-4 phosphorylation mediates the function of the protein in ICH-induced SBI. Neuronal apoptosis after ICH was mainly induced by NF-κB activation, which was promoted by GATA-4.
