Changes in the expression of P2X1 and P2X2 purinergic receptors in facial motoneurons after nerve lesions in rodents and correlation with motoneuron degeneration
Involvement of P2X1 and P2X2 purinergic receptors in motoneuron response to injury was investigated with Western blotting and immunohistochemistry and correlated with motoneuron loss, Bcl-2 expression, nitric oxide synthase induction and glial activation. P2X1 was highly induced in rat facial motone...
