Angiopoietin-1 blocks neurotoxic zinc entry into cortical cells via PIP2 hydrolysis-mediated ion channel inhibition

Excessive entry of zinc ions into the soma of neurons and glial cells results in extensive oxidative stress and necrosis of cortical cells, which underlies acute neuronal injury in cerebral ischemia and epileptic seizures. Here, we show that angiopoietin-1 (Ang1), a potent angiogenic ligand for the...
