Amyloid precursor protein (APP) and vacuolar protein sorting 35 (VPS35) mRNA expression in PC12 cells (reverse transcription-PCR).
(A) APP and VPS35 mRNA expression in PC12 cells. In each group, APP expression is higher than that of VPS35. Aβ: Amyloid β protein; M: Marker; I-V: control, Aβ25-35, 5, 10, 25 μM Schisandrin B groups, respectively.
(B) Quantification of APP and VPS35 mRNA expression. The data are expressed as mean ± SD of band absorbance ratio of target gene to β-actin, and analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and least significant difference method.
The experiments were repeated at least three times (n = 3). aP < 0.05, vs. control group; bP < 0.05, vs. Aβ25-35 group. Furthermore, there were significant differences (P < 0.05) between the three Schisandrin B groups with different concentrations.
