Apoptosis in ischemic renal injury: Roles of GTP depletion and p53 Pierre C. Dagher Kidney International Volume 66, Issue 2, Pages 506-509 (August 2004) DOI: 10.1111/j.1523-1755.2004.761_7.x Copyright © 2004 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions
Figure 1 Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) depletion and p53 in ischemia-induced apoptosis. This model proposes that GTP depletion and the activation of p53 are sequential steps underlying the apoptotic phenotype seen after renal ischemia. Guanosine and pifithrin-alpha restore GTP and inhibit p53, respectively, thus preventing apoptosis.
