Role of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in a mouse model for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

abstract：:Microglial activation is a prominent feature of affected brain areas in multiple system atrophy. Microglia express proinflammatory peptides, which may be a result of activation of nuclear factor-KB. We investigated the nuclear presence of RelA, the 65 kDa subunit of the NF-KB/RelA family in striatum and brain stem of ...
