A mutation in β-amyloid precursor protein renders SH‑SY5Y cells vulnerable to isoflurane toxicity: The role of inositol 1,4,5‑trisphosphate receptors.

Abstract excerpt

Isoflurane is a commonly used inhaled anesthetic, which induces apoptosis of SH‑SY5Y cells in a dose‑ and time‑dependent manner; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The authors of the present study hypothesized that a mutation in β‑amyloid precursor protein (APP), which is a gene associated with familial Alzheimer's disease, may render cells vulnerable to isoflurane‑induced cytotoxicity via...
