Alpha 2 Na+,K+-ATPase silencing induces loss of inflammatory response and ouabain protection in glial cells

Abstract Ouabain (OUA) is a cardiac glycoside that binds to Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA), a conserved membrane protein that controls cell transmembrane ionic concentrations and requires ATP hydrolysis. At nM concentrations, OUA activates signaling pathways that are not related to its typical inhibitory effec...
