Abstract
To determine whether 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) is involved in rotenone-induced injury in PC12 cells, which is a cell model of Parkinson disease. After rotenone treatment for various durations, cell viability was determined by colorimetric MTT reduction assay, and 5-LOX translocation was detected by immunocytochemistry. The effect of 5-LOX inhibitor zileuton was also investigated. Rotenone (0.3-30 μmol/L) induced PC12 cell injury, and zileuton (3-100 μmol/L) attenuated this injury. Rotenone also time-and concentration-dependently induced 5-LOX translocation into the nuclear envelope, and zileuton (1-30 μmo/L) significantly inhibited rotenone-induced 5-LOX translocation. 5-LOX is involved in rotenone-induced injury in PC12 cells, and 5-LOX inhibitor zileuton can reduce rotenone-induced 5-LOX activation and cell injury.
