Angiopoietin-like 4 confers resistance to hypoxia/serum deprivation-induced apoptosis through PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 signaling pathways in mesenchymal stem cells.

Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is a potential anti-apoptotic agent for various cells. We examined the protective effect of ANGPTL4 on hypoxia/serum deprivation (SD)-induced apoptosis of MSCs, as well as the possible mechanisms. MSCs were obtained from rat bone marrow and cultured in vitro. Apoptosis...
