Isorhamnetin, A Flavonol Aglycone from Ginkgo biloba L., Induces Neuronal Differentiation of Cultured PC12 Cells: Potentiating the Effect of Nerve Growth Factor
Figure 7
The potentiating effect of isorhamnetin on NGF-induced response could not be blocked by U0126. Cultured PC12 cells, serum starvation for 5 hours, were treated with NGF (0.5 ng/mL), isorhamnetin (Iso; 10 μM), and NGF (0.5 ng/mL) + isorhamnetin (Iso; 10 μM) for 72 hours with or without the pretreatment of U0126 (20 μM) for 3 hours. NGF at 50 ng/mL served as a positive control. (a) The cell lysates were collected to determine the expressions of NF68, NF160, and NF200. GADPH served as a loading control. (b) 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, . Representative images were shown. **where compared to the control.
