Neferine Protects against Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Damage in Neonatal Rats by Suppressing NLRP3-Mediated Inflammasome Activation

Figure 5

Neferine effectively reduces CoCl₂-incuded PC12 cell injury. (a, b) PC12 cells were treated for 12 h and 24 h in a CoCl₂ dose-dependent manner as assessed with CCK8. (c, d) PC12 cells were treated with different concentrations of neferine for 12 h and 24 h simultaneously under 1000 mΜ CoCl₂ treatment, and cell viability was determined by CCK8. (e, f) The levels of each mRNAs in PC12 were normalized to those of β-actin for each group. , , and versus the sham group. , , and versus the HI group. .
