BHDPC provided neuroprotective effects against the HT22 cells damages induced by LPS-activated BV-2 microglia. BV-2 cells were co-cultured on Transwell inserts with HT22 cells. Microglial were pretreated with BHDPC for 1 h, and then stimulated with LPS. (A) The cell viability was measured via MTT assay. (B) Cellular morphology of HT22 cells. (C,D) The cellular ROS level and caspase 3 activity were measured via the fluorogenic probe and Caspase-3 Assay Kit, respectively. (E) Cell DNA fragmentation was measured via ELISA assay. (F,G) The mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was detected using JC-1 dye. Data are presented as means ± SEM of three independent experiments in triplicate. Control group was untreated cells. #P < 0.05 and ##P < 0.01, versus control group; P < 0.05 and ∗∗P < 0.01, versus LPS-treated group.
