IL6 and Alzheimer disease: In this study, we demonstrated that the exposure of astrocytes to ethanol resulted in an increase in Alzheimer’s disease markers—the amyloid precursor protein, Aβ1-42, and the β-site-cleaving enzyme; an oxidative stress marker—4HNE; proinflammatory cytokines—TNF-α, IL1β, and IL6; lncRNA BACE1-AS; and alcohol-metabolizing enzymes—alcohol dehydrogenase, aldehyde dehydrogenase-2, and cytochrome P450 2E1.
