Novel Application of Eupatilin for Effectively Attenuating Cisplatin-Induced Auditory Hair Cell Death via Mitochondrial Apoptosis Pathway

Figure 2

Eupatilin reduced cisplatin-induced apoptosis in HEI-OC1 cells. (a) HEI-OC1 cells were pretreated eupatilin for 4 h, followed by exposure of for 24 h except those in the control group. Cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry using Annexin V-Alexa Fluor 647/PI kit. (b) Quantitative analysis of apoptotic cells shown in (a). (c) Western blots for the expression of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, cleaved caspase-3, and PARP in HEI-OC1 cells after pretreatment with eupatilin. (d) Quantitative analysis of the results shown in (c). Values are represented as the from three independent experiments. and vs. the nontreated control group; # and #### vs. the group treated with 30 μM cisplatin alone.
