Since the α-synuclein protein is involved in cell death and oxidative stress in PC12 cells [46], and since preventing its expression has a neuroprotective effect after stroke [25], we sought to investigate the effect of rasagiline on both undifferentiated and NGF-differentiated PC12 cell cultures exposed to the OGD/R ischemic insult (Figure 6). The gene discussed is NGF; the disease is stroke disorder.
