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 5

Treatment of PC12 cells with ATEO increased the expression of anti-oxidant proteins. PC12 cells were treated with ATEO (1.5, 5 and 15 μg/mL) or ZLN005 (2 μM) for 48 h. Total RNAs were isolated from cultured PC12 cells and then reversed transcribed into cDNAs for the detection of mRNAs encoding SOD1, SOD2, GPx1, UCP2 and UCP3 by real-time PCR analysis. β-actin served as internal control. Values are expressed as fold of control (untreated culture), and mean ± SEM, where n = 3. , compared with control group.
