AIM To explore the possible mechanism of nitric oxide (NO) induced PC12 cells apoptosis and the protective effect of ginsenoside Rg1. METHODS DNA fragmentation was observed by gels electrophoresis and flow cytometric assay was performed to determine the mitochondral membrance potential in PC12 cells. The cytosolic cytochrome c and cleaved caspase 3 P 20 were detected with Western blotting assay. RESULTS 500 μmol·L -1 NO donor S nitroso N acetyl penicillamine (SNAP) induced PC12 cells apoptosis, decreased mitochondral membrance potential, increased cytosolic cytochrome c and activated caspase 3. After pretreatment with ginsenoside Rg1 at the concentration of 5, 10 or 20 μmol·L -1 , the apoptosis induced by SNAP was decreased markedly, and the mitochondral membrance potential decreased, the release of cytochrome c and the activation of caspase 3 were attenuated, too. CONCLUSION Rg1 might protect against NO induced apoptosis in PC12 cells and this effect might be attributed to its stabilizing the mitochondral membrance and its inhibiting of the release of cytochrome c and activation of caspase 3.
