Objective To observe the effects of butylphthalide on the expression of autophagy-related protein and mRNA in l-meth-yl-4-phenyl-pyridiniumion (MPP+)-induced SH-SY5Y cells, and to explore the protective effect and possible mechanism of butylphthalide to the cell model of Parkinson's disease. Methods The SH-SY5Y cells were divided into control group (A), MPP+group (B), rapamycin pre-treated+MPP+group (C) and Butylphthalide pretreated+MPP+group (D). The relative viability of SH-SY5Y cells induced by MPP+was measured with MTT assay, the morphology of SH-SY5Y cells was observed. The expression of microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)-II/I and Beclin 1 protein was detected by Western blotting. And the expression of LC3-II/I and Beclin 1 mRNA were assayed by re-al-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). Results The viability rates of cells were significantly lower in group B than in group A (t=20.270, P<0.001), and were significantly higher in groups C and D than in group B (t>8.770, P<0.001), however, there was no significantly difference between groups C and D (t=2.270, P=0.064). The expression of LC3-II/I and Beclin 1 was higher in group B than in group A (t>6.647, P<0.01), and was higher in groups C and D than in group B (t>3.630, P<0.01), however, there was no significantly differ-ence between groups C and D (t<2.238, P≥0.05). Conclusion Butylphthalide could prevent the injury of SH-SY5Y cells induced by MPP+, which may affect Parkinson's disease by inducing autophagy.

Aim To investigate the effects of cell pro-liferation and activation in HSC-T6 cells by inhibiting the expression of EZH2 , and its partial relevant mech-anism. Methods By introducing the inhibitor DZNep in activated HSC-T6 cells stimulated by TGF-β1 , the protein expression levels of EZH2, p-ERK, p-AKT andα-SMA were detected by Western blot. The siRNA targeting EZH2 was designed and synthesized according to its nucleotide sequence, and their corresponding ex-pression vectors were constructed and transfected into HSC-T6 cells with LipofectamineTM 2000. The prolifer-ation of HSC-T6 cells was determined by MTT. And the protein expression levels of EZH2, p-ERK, p-AKT and α-SMA were measured by Western blot. Results By introducing the inhibitor DZNep in activated HSC-T6 cells stimulated by TGF-β1 , it effectively de-creased the protein levels of EZH2 and also the protein levels of p-ERK, p-AKT and α-SMA. By introducing EZH2-siRNA in activated HSC-T6 cells, it effectively inhibited the cell proliferation, and also the protein levels of EZH2, p-ERK, p-AKT andα-SMA. Conclu-sion Silencing EZH2 expression inhibits HSC-T6 cell proliferation and activation, and EZH2 may be a poten-tial therapeutic target gene for hepatic fibrosis.
