Abstract:
Aim To investigate the protective effect of gross saponin tribulus terrestris(GSTT) on the apoptosis of PC12 cells was induced by H2O2 and its mechanism.Methods Apoptosis of PC12 cells was induced by H2O2 at the concentration of 300 ?mol?L-1.The cell activity was determined by MTT.Cells were observed by inverted phase contrast microscope.Hochest33258 staining was detected by fluorescence microscope.The subdiploid peaks showing cell apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry.Protein of Bcl-2 and Bax was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with model group,the survival rate of PC12 cells increased (P
