Astragalus Polysaccharide Suppresses 6-Hydroxydopamine-Induced Neurotoxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans

Figure 4

Effect of astragalan on the transcript levels of apoptosis-related genes in C. elegans. The mRNA levels of ced-3, ced-4, ced-9, and egl-1 of BZ555 nematodes with or without 2.0 mg/mL of astragalan treatment under 6-OHDA exposure were performed using quantitative real-time PCR. Data are normalized to the nematodes without 6-OHDA and astragalan treatment and presented as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. versus 6-OHDA-exposed nematodes.
