- Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effect and probable mechanism of 20-Hydroxyecdysone on SH-SY5Y cells injured by MPP+. METHODS: MPP+ induced SH-SY5Y cells injury model was established. 20-Hydroxyecdysone was added into the culture to test its protective effect. The morphological changes of cells were observed. Cell viability was detected by method of MTT. The contents of LDH, MDA and activity of SOD were inspected by kits. Apoptosis rate of cells was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS: Compared with MPP+ group, 20-Hydroxyecdysone group (50, 100, 150 μmol·L-1) alleviated the damage of SH-SY5Y cells induced by MPP+, significantly improved cell survival rate, reduced the release of LDH, increased the activity of SOD, decreased the contents of MDA and reduced the apoptosis of cells. CONCLUSION: 20-Hydroxyecdysone has a significant protective effect on SH-SY5Y cells injured by MPP+. The probable mechanism may be anti-oxidation and anti-apoptosis.
