Moreover, MPTP-decreased Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2 (SERCA2) and pro-cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-12 (procaspase-12), MPTP-increased Glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), Glucose-regulated protein 94 (GRP94) and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) were inhibited by AAV-TRPV4 shRNAi infection, and enhanced by AAV-TRPV4. This evidence concerns the gene TRPV4 and infection.
