abstract

objective(s): this study was designed to indicate whether different fractions from artemisia biennis hydroethanolic extract could provide cytoprotection against oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by doxorubicin (dox) in rat pheochromocytoma cell line (pc12). material and methods:cell viability was determined by mtt assay. also, activation of caspase-3 and superoxide dismutase were evaluated by spectrophotometry. detection of reactive oxygen species (ros) and measurement of mitochondrial membrane potential (mmp) were performed by flowcytometry. results:  treatment of pc12 cells with dox reduced viability dose dependently. for evaluation of the effect of fractions (a-g) on dox-induced cytotoxicity, pc12 cells were pretreated for 24 hr with the a. biennis fractions and then cells were treated with dox.  the fractions c and d increased pc12 cells viability significantly compared to dox treated cells.  moreover, pretreatment with fractions c and d for 24 hr attenuated dox-mediated apoptosis and the anti-apoptotic action of a. biennis fractions was partially dependent on inhibition of caspase 3 activity and also increasing the  mitochondrial membrane potential (mmp). selected a. biennis fractions also suppressed the generation of ros and increased superoxide dismutase (sod) activity. conclusion: taken together our observation indicated that subtoxic concentration of aforementioned fractions of a. biennis hydroetanolic extract has protective effect against apoptosis induced by dox in pc12 cell. the results highlighted that fractions c and d may exert cytoprotective effects through their antioxidant actions.

Protective effects of nimodipine and lithium against aluminum-induced cell death and oxidative stress in PC12 cells

Objective(s): The role of aluminum (Al) in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases has been implicated in several studies. However, the exact mechanisms of cytotoxic effects of Al have not been elucidated yet. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of L-type calcium channel antagonist, nimodipine (NM), and lithium chloride (LiCl) on Al-induced toxicity in PC12 cells. Materia...
