Abstract excerpt
Isoflurane, a commonly used inhaled anesthetic, induces apoptosis in rat pheochromocytoma cells (PC12) in a concentration-and time-dependent manner with unknown mechanism. We hypothesized that isoflurane induced apoptosis by causing abnormal calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors. Alzheimer's presenilin-1 (PS1) mutation increased activity...
