Objective: To investigate the inhibition of magnolol on the apoptosis of PC12 cell induced by MPTP and its mechanism. Method: Magnolol (final concentration 0.1
10 μmol ·L-1) and /or MPTP(final concentration 50
100
150
200 μmol ·L-1) were added into the culture of PC12 cells. The cell viability was detected with MTT method
apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry and Bcl-2/Bax ratio was detected by western blot. Result: Cell viability was declined sharply by MPTP with different concentrations
the pre-treatment of magnolol 0.1-10 μmol ·L-1 could significantly increase the PC12 cell viability
apoptosis and the decrease in the Bcl-2/Bax ratio. Conclusion: Magnolol may inhibit the cell damage induced by MPTP and the mechanism is likely related to inhibition to expression of Bcl-2/Bax.
