ST2-104 peptide decreases the enhancement in intracellular Ca2+ induced by glutamate. Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) in SH-SY5Y cells measured by flow cytometry. SH-SHY5Y cells were treated with 20 mM glutamate plus 20 μM glycine or control medium or with ST2-104 peptide for 24 h at 37 °C and then flow cytometry was performed. [Ca2+]i was measured by loading the cells with 4 μM of Fluo-3/AM and examining their fluorescence intensity. The results are presented as the mean ± SEM from three independent experiments
