Artemether Activation of AMPK/GSK3β(ser9)/Nrf2 Signaling Confers Neuroprotection towards β-Amyloid-Induced Neurotoxicity in 3xTg Alzheimer’s Mouse Model
Figure 4
Artemether increased phosphorylation of AMPK/GSK3β(ser9)in PC12 cell cultures exposed to Aβ1-42. (a, c) PC12 cells pretreated for 2 h with different concentrations of Artemether were incubated with 1 μM Aβ1-42 for 24 h .The lysates were submitted for measurements of phosphorylations by western blotting using specific antibodies for AMPK (P-AMPK), total AMPK (T-AMPK), GSK3β(ser9) (P-GSK3β), and total GSK3β (T-GSK3β). GAPDH was used for normalization. Three independent experiments were included. (b, d) Quantitation of phosphorylated kinases. and were considered significantly different.
