Abstract

We give here evidence that Purkinje neurons (PNs) of mouse cerebellar slices studied with patch clamp technique combined with laser confocal microscopy, respond to human IL-8 and GROalpha by (i) a cytosolic Ca2+ transient compatible with inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (InsP3) formation; (ii) an enhancement of the neurotransmitter release; and (iii) an impairment of the long-term depression of synaptic strength (LTD). It was also found the expression of IL-8 receptor type 2 in PN and granule cells by immunofluorescence, immunoblotting and RT-PCR analysis. Considered together these findings suggest that IL-8 and GROalpha may play a neuromodulatory role on mouse cerebellum.
