Therapeutic ultrasound protects HUVECs from ischemia/hypoxia-induced apoptosis via the PI3K-Akt pathway.

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: The present study indicates that exposure to TUS exerts a protective effect against I/H-induced apoptosis among HUVECs and that this process is mediated through the mitochondrial-dependent intrinsic apoptotic pathway. We also confirm that the PI3K-Akt signal cascade may be taken part in the TUS effects on apoptosis.
