Isorhamnetin, A Flavonol Aglycone from Ginkgo biloba L., Induces Neuronal Differentiation of Cultured PC12 Cells: Potentiating the Effect of Nerve Growth Factor

Figure 1

NGF induces the expression of neurofilaments in cultured PC12 cells. Cultured PC12 cells were treated with NGF (0.3 to 50 ng/mL) for 72 hours. The cell lysates were collected to determine the expressions of NF68 ( ~ 68 kDa), NF160 ( ~ 160 kDa), and NF200 ( ~ 200 kDa). GADPH ( ~ 38 kDa) served as a loading control (upper panel). Quantification plot was shown in lower panel. Values are expressed as the fold of change (×Basal) against the control (no treatment; set as 1), and in Mean SEM, , each with triplicate samples. Representative images were shown. ** compared to the control.
