Activation of astrocyte intracellular signaling pathways by interleukin-1 in rat primary striatal cultures.

Abstract excerpt

The striatum has been implicated as the site of action mediating neurotoxic effects of interleukin-1 (IL-1) during ischemia. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these events have yet to be fully addressed. In the present study, primary cultures of rat striatal cells were used as a model for the study of IL-1 signaling pathways in the striatum. Immunocytochemical analyses revealed that these cultures...
