Interleukin-6 prevents NMDA-induced neuronal death via Gp130 signaling-dependent IP3R inhibition.

OBJECTIVE: To reveal the involvement of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) and ryanodine receptors (RyR) in IL-6 prevention from neuronal apoptosis and necrosis induced by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA).

METHODS: Cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) from 8-day-old rats were exposed to IL-6 for 8 days and the.....
