Huperzine A attenuates hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis by regulating expression of apoptosis-related genes in rat PC12 cells
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
The present studies investigated effects of huperzine A (HupA), a selective acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor and promising anti-dementia agent, on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced apoptosis and the expression of apoptosis-related genes in rat pheochromocytoma line PC12 cells. Transient exposure of the cells to H2O2 (100 microM) triggered a typical apoptosis as evidenced by chromatin condensation, nuclei...
