Baicalein rescued the rotenone-reduced mitochondrial abundance in SH-SY5Y cells. (a) Representative images of the mitochondrial mass stained by NAO (scale bar: 50 μm). (b) Mean fluorescence intensity was assessed based on the NAO fluorescence on the ArrayScan HCS Reader with the Morphology Explorer BioApplication. (c) mtDNA copy number was determined by real-time qPCR. (d) The expression of PGC-1α, NRF-1, and TFAM, key regulators of mitobiogenesis, was examined by western blotting. (e) The mRNA levels of PGC-1α and its targeted genes (NRF-1, TFAM, ATP5β, cyt-c, COX II, and COX IV) directly involved in mitobiogenesis were detected by RT-qPCR. Values are expressed as the means ± SEMs. N = 3. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA. ##P < 0.01 compared with the control group, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with the model group.
