Role of autophagy in sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity in neonatal rat hippocampal cells.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that sevoflurane may induce hippocampal neuron autophagy in primary cultured hippocampal neuronal cell and that Beclin-1 and Atg5 are involved in the process of sevoflurane-induced autophagy. Exposure of sevoflurane may not only induce autophagy of hippocampal neurons but also activate the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons. Autophagy may play an important role in sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity in primary cultured hippocampal neuronal cells.
