c-Abl Tyrosine Kinase-Mediated Neuronal Apoptosis in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage by Modulating the LRP-1-Dependent Akt/GSK3β Survival Pathway.

Accumulating evidence suggests that neuronal apoptosis plays a critical role in early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and the inhibition of apoptosis can induce neuroprotective effects in SAH animal models. c-Abl has been reported to promote neuronal apoptosis in Alzheimer's disease and cerebral ischemia, but its role in SAH had not been illuminated until now. In the present study, the effect of c-Abl on neuronal apoptosis induced by SAH was investigated.
