Protective effect of BJ on apoptotic-related proteins. SH-SY5Y cells were treated as reported above. Then, p53, Bax and Bcl-2 proteins levels were measured by western blotting. Representative immunoblots are displayed (A). Densitometric analysis of three independent blots (mean ± SEM) is depicted (B). Proteins amount were extrapolated as the values found in the untreated cells which were arbitrarily expressed as 1. °° P < 0.01 and °°° P < 0.001 vs. control cells; *, ** and *** P < 0.05, P < 0.01 and P < 0.001 vs. 6-OHDA-treated cells, respectively.
