ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the roles of nitric oxide and caspase 3 in PC12 cell apoptosis induced by rotenone. Methods The acute injury effect of rotenone on PC12 cells and viability of the PC12 cells were detected by MTT assay. Nitrite (NO 2 -) was quantified by Greiss reaction. The activity of caspase 3 and the cell apoptosis were detected by fluoremetry and agarose gel electrophoresis, respectively. Results The MTT colorimetry indicated that PC12 cell viability reached a peak at 7 d after passage. L NAME at the concentration of 100 ?mol/L showed the strongest protective effect for PC12 cell in the four different doses. Rotenone also induced the formation of DNA ladder in PC12 cells. Additionally, the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L NAME inhibited the activity of caspase 3 protease. L NAME also inhibited the production of nitric oxide induced by rotenone. Conclusion Nitric oxide and caspase 3 are involved in the process of PC12 cell apoptosis induced by rotenone.
