Abstract
The neuroprotective effects of Jatrorrhizine from Coptidis Rhizoma against hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced rat pheochromocytoma line PC12 injury and its potential mechanisms were evaluated in the present study. When cells were exposed to H(2)O(2) (200 μM) for 12h, there was a significant reduction in cell survival and activity of antioxidant enzyme (SOD and HO-1) and LDH release. In addition, increased ROS production, declined MMP and increased production of malondialdehyde (MDA) were observed. Preincubation of cells with Jatrorrhizine (0.01-10.0 μM) 24h prior to H(2)O(2) exposure markedly elevated cell viability and activities of antioxidant enzyme (SOD and HO-1), prevented LDH release and lipid peroxidation (MDA) production, attenuated the decrease of MMP and scavenged ROS formation. Jatrorrhizine also attenuated caspase-3 activation of the downstream cascade following ROS. Our results suggest that Jatrorrhizine holds potential for neuroprotective effects against H(2)O(2)-induced injury.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
