Microarray Analysis of mRNA and MicroRNA Expression Profile Reveals the Role of β-Sitosterol-D-glucoside in the Proliferation of Neural Stem Cell

Figure 8

PPP inhibited the BSSG-induced cell proliferation. The inhibition of PPP on NSC proliferation was weak at 0.01 μM; however, the inhibition was remarkable at 0.1 μM ( ) as well as 1 ( ) and 2 μM ( ). Analogously, the inhibition of PPP on BSSG-induced cell proliferation was weak at 0.01 μM. By contrast, BSSG-induced cell proliferation was inhibited when the cells were exposed to PPP 0.1 μM. This result showed that if the function of IGF1 was blocked up; then the cell proliferation induced by BSSG ceased to exist. Data are presented as Mean ± SD ( ). * , ** , and *** .
