p62 overexpression increases ischemia/reperfusion injury, whereas p62 knockdown or pharmacological deactivation reduces injury.
The study establishes p62 as a master regulator of ischemia/reperfusion injury and a potential target for stroke therapies.
p62 levels increase after ischemia/reperfusion and track with intracellular ROS changes.
The death-promoting effects of p62 involve elevated ROS burden.
Autophagic flux is p62-dependent but oxygen-independent in the reported ischemia/reperfusion context.
p62 activates NRF2-associated antioxidant signaling and inhibits the pro-inflammatory NFκB pathway, with bidirectional linkage between these responses and p62.
p62 downregulates BiP/GRP78 and consecutively activates the UPR PERK branch in the reported ischemia/reperfusion context.
