JAK2/STAT3 mediated protection of APN against OGD. OGD damages mitochondrial structure and function, which induces oxidative stress and apoptosis. APN promotes the phosphorylated activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling, and may further upregulate Bcl-2 and decrease cleaved-caspase-3 expression, which improve mitochondrial membrane integrity, maintain MMP, attenuate ROS generation, and increase anti-oxidative enzymes. Taken together, APN attenuates mitochondrial vulnerability through the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, performing an anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic effect in HT22 neuronal cells subjected to OGD.
