Methods： TIP was dissolved in 0.1 M NaOH and added to the culture medium at a final concentrations of 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L and 200 mg/L. Some cells （control） were exposed to 0.001 M NaOH. TIP was added to PC12 cells 30 min prior to the administration of MPP^＋. TIP and MPP^＋ remained in the culture medium for 96 h. D2 dopamine receptor mRNA, preproenkephalin mRNA and prodynorphin mRNA expressions were assayed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. Results： The D2 dopamine receptor mRNA and preproenkephalin mRNA expressions were up-regulated in MPP^＋ group compared with the control group, and prodynorphin mRNA expression was down-regulated in that. The D2 dopamine receptor mRNA expression being down-regulated and prodynorphin mRNA expression being up-regulated in TIP group compared with the MPP^＋ group. And there was no effect of TIP on preproenkephalin gene expression in PC12 cells induced by MPP^＋. Conclusion： The results suggest that TIP down-regulates the D2 dopamine receptor mRNA expression, up-regulates prodynorphin mRNA expression and not affects preproenkephalin gene expression in PC12 cells induced by MPP^＋.展开更多
