Bag-1 modulates lung ischemia-reperfusion injury by regulating BCL-2 family proteins and IP3R-mediated calcium release

Lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) involves dysregulated apoptosis and calcium overload. This study explored the role of molecular chaperone BCL-2-associated athanogene 1 (Bag-1) -1 in LIRI pathogenesis. Using an A549 cell model of glucose deprivation/hypoxia-reoxygenation,...
