Alteration of the Bcl-x/Bax Ratio in a Transgenic Mouse Model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Evidence for the Implication of the p53 Signaling Pathway
Molecular mechanisms promoting neuronal death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) were investigated using transgenic mice that overexpressed the G86R mutated form of the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene. We observed: (i) alteration of the Bcl-x/Bax ratio and (ii) activation of the transcrip...
