摘要PC12 cell injury was induced using 20 μM amyloid β-protein 25-35 to establish a model of Alzheimer's disease.The cells were then treated with 5, 10, and 25 μM Schisandrin B.Methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assays and Hoechst 33342 staining results showed that with increasing Schisandrin B concentration, the survival rate of PC12 cells injured by amyloid β-protein 25-35 gradually increased and the rate of apoptosis gradually decreased.Reverse transcription-PCR, immunocytochemical staining and western blot results showed that with increasing Schisandrin B concentration, the mRNA and protein expression of vacuolar protein sorting 35 and amyloid precursor protein were gradually decreased.Vacuolar protein sorting 35 and amyloid precursor protein showed a consistent trend for change.These findings suggest that 5, 10, and 25 μM Schisandrin B antagonizes the cellular injury induced by amyloid β-protein 25-35 in a dose-dependent manner.This may be caused by decreasing the expression of vacuolar protein sorting 35 and amyloid precursor protein.PC12 cell injury was induced using 20 μM amyloid β-protein 25-35 to establish a model of Alzheimer's disease.The cells were then treated with 5, 10, and 25 μM Schisandrin B.Methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assays and Hoechst 33342 staining results showed that with increasing Schisandrin B concentration, the survival rate of PC12 cells injured by amyloid β-protein 25-35 gradually increased and the rate of apoptosis gradually decreased.Reverse transcription-PCR, immunocytochemical staining and western blot results showed that with increasing Schisandrin B concentration, the mRNA and protein expression of vacuolar protein sorting 35 and amyloid precursor protein were gradually decreased.Vacuolar protein sorting 35 and amyloid precursor protein showed a consistent trend for change.These findings suggest that 5, 10, and 25 μM Schisandrin B antagonizes the cellular injury induced by amyloid β-protein 25-35 in a dose-dependent manner.This may be caused by decreasing the expression of vacuolar protein sorting 35 and amyloid precursor protein.
