Objective: To investigate the effect of triptolide (TPL) on proliferation and apoptosis of C6 cells. Method: C6 cells was cultured with different concentrations of TPL for different hours. MTT assay was employed to evaluate the survival of TPL-treated C6 cells. The induction of apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry analysis (FCM). The expressions of B cell lymphoma/lewkmia-2(Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 assaciated x protein(Bax) mRNA were detected by Real Time - Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)
while the protein by Western blotting (WB) methods. Result: Our results showed that TPL induced apoptotic cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner
which was accompanied by the regulation of Bcl-2 and Bax expressions. Conclusion: The results indicated that TPL induce the apoptosis and inhibit the proliferation of C6 glioma cellsby regulating the expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax.
