Abstract
To evaluate the anti-apoptotic effects of Joongpoongtang 05 (JP05), a mixture of plant extracts, on a Neuro-2a (N2a) cell model of oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD)/reperfusion (OGDR), a neuroblastoma cell injury model was induced by OGDR. This model allowed us to investigate cerebral ischemic changes and the protective effects of JP05. JP05 treatment significantly enhanced cell viability and reduced the levels of lactate dehydrogenase, nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species and the oxidants/antioxidants balance in neuronal cells as compared to the untreated OGDR group. Here, JP05 reduced OGDR-induced expressions of heme oxygenase-1 and nitric oxide synthase, which may contribute to the neuroprotection. JP05 also partially reversed the effects of OGDR on NF-κB and activated Akt production. Our findings suggest that JP05 confers neuroprotective effects via anti-apoptotic property against OGDR-induced free radical injury in N2a cells.
