GPX8 as a Novel Prognostic Factor and Potential Therapeutic Target in Primary Glioma by Zhao-shou Yang, Qin Yang, Xiao-xiao Sun, Kui Xiong, Xiao-ting Zhu, Yi-chen Wang, Qian-yao Ren, Guo-hui Wu, Shi-min Wang, Xu-qin Cao, Xiao-rong Yang, Wen-gong Jiang

“…Interestingly, high GPX8 expression is correlated positively with the hedgehog and kras signaling pathways and negatively with G2 checkpoint, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) pathway, and interferon gamma pathway, which could be beneficial for the proliferation of glioma cells. Furthermore, GPX8 knockdown caused G1 cell cycle arrest, increased cell death, and reduced colony formation in U87MG and U118MG cells. …”

Chlorpromazine and Promethazine (C+P) Reduce Brain Injury after Ischemic Stroke through the PKC-δ/NOX/MnSOD Pathway by Sichao Guo, Fengwu Li, Melissa Wills, James Yip, Alexandra Wehbe, Changya Peng, Xiaokun Geng, Yuchuan Ding

“…In I/R injury, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (NOX) produces reactive oxygen species (ROS), which promote inflammatory and apoptotic pathways, augmenting ROS production and promoting cell death. Inhibiting ischemia-induced oxidative stress would be beneficial for reducing neuroinflammation and promoting neuronal cell survival. …”
