1 [Interleukin-6 prevents cultured cerebellar granule neurons from glutamate-induced neurotoxicity]. Glutamic Acid interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
2 AIM: To explore IL-6 neuroprotection against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity and primary mechanisms involved in this neuroprotection. Glutamic Acid interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: The chronic IL-6 (2.5, 5 and 10 ng/ml) pretreatment of the cultured cerebellar granule neurons remarkably improved the decreased neuronal vitality by glutamate in a concentration-dependent manner. Glutamic Acid interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
4 The neuronal apoptosis induced by glutamate was significantly attenuated by the chronic IL-6 pretreatment. Glutamic Acid interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
5 The intracellular Ca2+ overload evoked by glutamate was also inhibited by the chronic IL-6 pretreatment. Glutamic Acid interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
6 CONCLUSION: IL-6 can protect neurons against glutamate-induced exciting neurotoxicity. Glutamic Acid interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
7 The mechanism of IL-6 neuroprotection may be closely related to the suppression of glutamate-induced intracellular Ca2+ overload and mediated by gp130 intracellular signal transduction pathways. Glutamic Acid interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
