The Essential Oil from Acori Tatarinowii Rhizome (the Dried Rhizome of Acorus tatarinowii Schott) Prevents Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Cell Injury in PC12 Cells: A Signaling Triggered by CREB/PGC-1α Activation

Figure 4

Treatment of PC12 cells with ATEO increased the expression of PGC-1α. PC12 cells were treated with ATEO (1.5, 5 and 15 μg/mL) for 48 h. The mRNA and protein levels of PGC-1α were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR (a) and Western blot assay (b), respectively. β-actin served as an internal control. ZLN005 (2 μM) was used as a positive control. Data are expressed as fold of control (untreated culture), and mean ± SEM, where n = 3. , compared with control group.
